The main difference being one is of plastic versus metal housing. The difference is considerable in weight and quality with 565 being the better of the two. The 565 is meeting all of my hopes of a grinder. The Capresso Conical Burr grinder is a fine machine. Don't make the mistake of getting the 560 instead of the 565.
Only con is that it is a PAIN to clean - but I suppose so would any burr grinder. I haven't used for espresso yet, but I have no doubt that the grinds would be fine enough for it. I use compressed air to blow the grinds out of it, but I'm sure there are probably better / easier ways.Again, it is a little more expensive than the others, but well worth the investment. A little pricey, but noticeably better than Krupps, Cuisinart, and the other "mainstream" brands. Grinds are absolutely consistent, and perfect for drip or press.
I use a french press to make my coffee, the coarse grind is perfect and I had less issues in pushing down the plunger filter compared to when I was using a blade grinder. I made a batch of ice coffee and right away noticed the improvement in the flavor. If you want better tasting coffee, go with this grinder. I read the reviews before purchasing this grinder and compared it to another grinder that I was considering. Based on the reviews, I went with this one.
I clean the hopper after every pound of coffee I grind, which seems adequate. They should replace it with a simple on/off switch. Be careful not to try to turn the timer switch off before it's finished, it will break. This grinder is excellent. The instructions say to clean it after every use which is just not feasible. I will never go back to the blade type grinder. It's easy to maintain and easy to use. Only complaint is the timer switch.
I doubt it will because of the low velocity.I used it in the recommended setting for drip and am very happy with the result. This one costs double but it seems a much superior design.very happy. Yes, the starbucks oily bean is very full of static. We a a differnt Capresso model but returned it after it jammed up. The result is great. Changed beans one day and no static.I clean every two weeks. But will run the brush up the shoot to keep it unclogged.
