If you're grinding for drip pretty much any grinder will work OK. If you're grinding for other forms (French Press, vacuum, espresso) you need something that will give you control over consistency and fineness or coarseness. The Maestro grinders are good, but do have a few flaws. Most people mention the weakness of the upper burr carrier. The upper burr rides in a plastic carrier that has weak tabs that hold it in place. As long as it's cleaned often (which should be done anyway) most say it's not a problem. Some apparently don't clean often enough and when they try to disassemble the burrs for cleaning the tabs break easily. The other issue is with oily beans. Most say they clog going into the burrs and also when exiting the chute. I can't say as I don't have one. I will have to applaud the Infinity. It works with any type of beans, is really easy to clean, can be adjusted for any type of coffee grind desired, feeds the beans better than any grinder I've used, grinds with a very slow speed (450 RPM), any parts can be replaced without sending it in for repair and the list goes on. Go to coffeegeek.com and read some of the consumer reviews. That's what I did and I made a good buying decision. Later!
