this answer is for the Capresso 560.04 grinder: it has infinite setting to grind from very fine to very coarse, it is designed to grind for immediate needs tho I grind enough bean for up to 5 days then I store the grind bean in an air tight container. I clean the grinder ea time I use it as this will keep old coffee oil from becoming spoiled in the grinding mechanism and causing malfunction of the grinding mechanism. This grinder is superior in its function and I cannot find any fault with it after just 6 months use so far.

You can adjust the grind from very coarse to an espresso grind. Once the coffee is ground it sits in the bottom wooden recepticle and is therefore covered. I use it every morning with my french press. It is sturdy and works perfectly for any grind you'll need.

Yes, it has an "air tight 8oz bean hopper" according to the box. I still leave mine beans in the pack because there are no rubber seals in that "air tight hopper"... and the air can escape through the plates... So not really air tight... and not a conical burr grinder either. This is flat plate.

The container for the beans indicates a range of grinds: coarse, medium, fine and extra fine. Beneath the grind is an indicator of the process appropriate for each grind: french press, filter, or espresso. Espresso falls between fine and extra fine, thus providing a range. While I've never used the limit for the extra fine setting, it may produce the grind you need. I am very pleased with this product. I am the only coffee drinker at home and I usually grind enough beans for use weekly. I've had the grinder for over a year and have not had any problems with it.

Holy smokes,I did at all pay attention to any of that. I just checked. The lid just goes on there. It doesn't screw on or anything, but sort of just sits on there snuggley. So not airtight. I've had it filled up, and have not noticed any deterioration in the taste of the coffee over time. I also cover the whole thing with a dark cloth.

It is best to put in the correct amount of coffee beans in the hopper then it will not matter what setting the timer is at. Just grind that amount of coffee. The intent is not to fill the hopper up and then set the timer for the right amount of coffee as the timer is not so precise and it is best not to keep your beans in the hopper which is not airtight.

The grinder doesn't I keep it full at all times with beans, but you do need to dump the grounds and wipe down some of the interior portions (you'll see where)

I just buy espresso grind coffee, making sure that arabica beans are used 100%. But, I am not a coffee connoisseur by any means. You will have to wait for the machine to cool almost completely before you use it again. My biggest reason for having at least two of these.

I have several 3-pound coffee cans (metal). The coffee remains fresh for as long as I need to keep it. Even the coffee oils stay. About the longest I have kept coffee this way is about a month.

I only put in the amount of beans I want to grind for immediate use. I do not keep beans in the hopper but rather I have them in an airtight storage container which keeps them fresh for quite a long time. I buy whole beans about once a month. Keep them in a Friis coffee vault and the last beans out are just as good as the first ones. I would guess a couple of days probably won't make much difference.

Catherine, I had this same question when reviewing owners questions and answers on Amazon's site. All the reviews seemed to be talking about grinding their own beans, but I looked the coffee maker over real good and it looked to me that I could use already ground coffee from a can or a pouch. I bought it and sure enough it handles ground coffee just like any other coffee maker. Enjoy, it's working great. (The lighted clock "is" really bright but no bother to me. Hey ! It's in the kitchen not in the bedroom! LOL

It is not totally air tight. I don't fill it up completely, so I'm adding beans every few days. Having said that, I've never had an issue with freshness.

It forms an airtight seal. So it depends on what you put in it. If you use it for coffee it stays fresh for months, like four or so as coffee generally does not have any bacteria that makes it decompose and there wont be any getting into the seal. The same goes for most seeds. But if you put something like, say, a piece of celery or a piece of an apple, it may only be a few days - depending on the temperature. That's a good experiment to try.

I do not know, however I can tell you that the grinder holds a good amount of beans so I have never considered it a problem.

Like all tea and fresh ground coffee, will stay fresh for months if stored in a plastic container inside the refrigerator. Maybe a year -- have not tried storing it that long.

You use coffee beans ground specifically for espresso, which is finer than the grind you would use for regular coffee machines. But no, it does not take the pre-filled pods. You measure coffee grinds into the little basket. God bless!

I use it everyday and it seems to work really well. The coffee is fresh and it is an airtight seal. I like it.
