Capresso 503.05 Stainless Steel Cool Grind Coffee Grinder, Stainless Steel 3 out of 5 stars.

This looks great but not that great for grinding spices. Good for Coffee grinding only.
It Looks Good 2 out of 5 stars.

However it doesn't work as well as my previous one from Pavoni. The cover on the Capresso fits around the outside of the grinder so when you transfer the ground coffee to another container there is always some cleanup required. It also takes longer to get the beans finely ground.
Unlocks the Aroma and Flavor 5 out of 5 stars.

The Cool Grind is easy to use, and it works great for us for both coffee beans and spices like dried rosemary, lavender, flax seed and cardamom. The best part is the way it unlocks the aroma and flavor when you grind.
Cool, yes. But ... 3 out of 5 stars.

I really want to like this grinder, but after a couple weeks of use I'm disappointed enough to shop for a replacement. I've been grinding coffee beans for +/- 15 years using less expensive machines, and decided to upgrade to a "better" grinder this time instead of simply replacing my Krups Fast Touch.
Pluses: the round design is comfortable to hold and has small footprint in cabinet, built-in cord storage is an excellent feature, easy to operate, round design is little less messy than the Krups Fast Touch when transferring grounds to canister, a little quieter than other machines due to lower pitch of moter sound, operates cooler than others so no scorching to interfere with taste.
Minuses: coarse grind only, grinds unevenly even after pulsing and shaking to mix contents, max capacity is more like 7 cups of grinds not 15 cups as advertised, blades are less sturdy than Krups Fast Touch.
There aren't many minuses here but function outweighs aesthetics. The blades are seated higher than the Krups Fast Touch which makes the grinder produce only a coarse, auto-drip, grind. I much prefer a fine grind, even for use in a drip maker, for more intense flavor and less bean consumption.
Editorial Review:
Making coffee with fresh-ground beans makes all the difference. This Capresso Stainless Steel Cool Grind Blade Coffee Grinder lets you grind your own beans right before you make your morning coffee. Simply place your beans inside, replace the lid and hold the lever down to initiate grinding. Once you're done, you can clean it off and use it grind fresh herbs, too. Height - 8 Weight - 2 lbs.
