In brief

The Infinity Plus is the step-up version of Capresso's Infinity. Capresso lists the same commercial-grade steel conical burrs and 16 settings, with a die-cast stainless steel body, an 11 oz bean hopper and a cup selector for 1 to 12 cups.

Independent reviews of the Infinity Plus are scarce, and most of what follows is from Capresso and The Coffee Locator. Home Coffee Expert's review covers the base Infinity, so its comments apply to the Plus only where the two share a design, and are marked below.

The Coffee Locator gives the Plus 4.1 out of 5 and recommends it to people moving up from blade grinders, for drip and French press. It is a weaker choice for espresso or fine pour-over adjustment.

What it does well

  • The Coffee Locator says the stainless housing and metal grounds container feel premium for the price
  • The Coffee Locator measured about 72–75 dB, quieter than most blade grinders
  • The Coffee Locator found drip the cleanest and French press nearly as strong, with less sediment
  • Capresso's removable upper burr makes cleaning easier

Where it falls short

  • The Coffee Locator says the stepped dial has no half-steps and is too inconsistent for dedicated espresso machines
  • The Coffee Locator reports about 1–2 g retained between sessions, which matters for single-dosing
  • The Coffee Locator saw static at the finest settings in dry conditions
  • Capresso's warranty is one year; The Coffee Locator calls that short

What it does well

It makes an even drip and French press grind. The Coffee Locator found drip settings, roughly 5 to 8 on its dial, gave the cleanest results, and French press was nearly as strong, with visibly less sediment than blade-ground coffee. Its reviewer suggests roughly 11 to 12 for French press and 6 to 7 for drip. Those settings are the reviewer's, so expect to adjust for your own beans and brewer.

It is quiet. Capresso's gear-reduction motor runs under 450 RPM. The Coffee Locator measured 72 to 75 dB, which it says is quieter than most blade grinders and 5 to 8 dB below the Baratza Encore.

The build feels solid for the price. The Coffee Locator says the stainless housing and metal grounds container "feel premium." The cup selector, a safety lock and pulse grinding are listed on Capresso's page, and the upper burr lifts out for cleaning.

It can handle a bigger batch than the base Infinity: the hopper holds 11 oz rather than 8.8 oz, per Capresso's product pages.

Where it falls short

Adjustment is coarse and stepped. The Coffee Locator says the dial has "no half-step options," so you cannot land between settings. Pour-over works for casual brewing, but the coarse steps make fine-tuning hard, per the same review.

Espresso is not its job. The Coffee Locator calls it "too inconsistent for dedicated espresso machines." Home Coffee Expert, writing about the base Infinity, says it works only with a pressurized portafilter. That is why BrewMark rates it 0 for espresso.

Retention and static are the usual entry-level issues. The Coffee Locator reports about 1 to 2 g retained between sessions and static at the finest settings in dry conditions, and suggests a light mist (RDT) to reduce it. That makes it a poor fit for single-dosing.

The warranty is one year of household use, per Capresso.

Who should buy it, and who shouldn't

Buy it if you brew drip or French press at home, step up from a blade grinder, and value quiet. It also covers moka pot, with The Coffee Locator suggesting the finest settings.

Skip it if you make espresso, brew precise light-roast pour-over, or want a grinder you can leave empty between doses.

How it compares

The Capresso Infinity is the base model with the same dial. Home Coffee Expert says its coarsest setting is not coarse enough for French press, which is the main reason to prefer the Plus for that brew, though the sources here do not show a different burr or range.

The Coffee Locator names the Baratza Encore ESP as the better choice for fine adjustment, and the Baratza Encore is the standard entry-level electric comparison.

Owning it

Capresso covers the Plus with a one-year limited household warranty. Our burr grinder cleaning guide covers upkeep. Capresso's product page shows the Plus in stock.
