I am a college student so I am on a budget, however, I have decided to invest in a decent burr grinder. After reading hundreds of forum posts, I think I have decided on the Capresso Infinity. Is that a good choice. Also, where can I find good, but reasonably price roasted coffee beans? I currently use a 4-cup Mr. Coffee drip maker.

I've seen more bad reviews of the Maestro than the Infinity though... Any reason why you are recommending it over the Infinity? Also, any idea how long the sale lasts?

I've had both the Maestro and the Infinity. Found the Infinity had better seated burrs,was strongly built,and produced a more even grind. Mine is still going strong after over 3 years. Good Luck, Barry

Also, if you have a Tuesday Morning store in your area they sell the Capresso Infinity (565) for $89.99. I saw 5 in my local store yesterday, just lacked the funds to pick one up. :(

Got a Costco nearby? They're selling this Saeco grinder for only $70. It's a great grinder & is sold under a variety of brands, normally retailing in the $120 range.
