THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Capresso's #559.04 documentation describes a disk-burr grinder with a removable bean hopper and grounds container, an 8 oz bean hopper and a removable upper burr. Its manual shows a 1–9 fineness scale with half-step brew guidance, while the maker comparison lists 17 settings. A separate cup-marked control offers approximate batch guidance and automatic stopping, not weight dosing. The comparison lists 100 W, about 12,000 rpm, 3 lb and dimensions, but the exact voltage, burr material, grounds-bin volume and historical ASIN remain unresolved.

Consider it for

For household users comparing short-batch controls who will confirm the unit label; not for commercial or weighed-dose needs..

Look elsewhere if

Not for commercial duty, exact weight dosing, a required voltage without nameplate confirmation, or a purchase depending on verified grind performance.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The official manual documents an 8 oz bean hopper, removable upper burr and automatic stopping behavior.
  • The manual and comparison provide both a fineness scale and manufacturer brew-range guidance.
  • A one-minute run and five-minute cooling instruction makes the household workload boundary concrete.

What to weigh up

  • The manual's 1–9 scale and the chart's 17-setting count should remain visibly distinct.
  • Cup marks are approximate and do not measure exact beverage yield or ground coffee mass.
  • Voltage, burr material, grounds capacity and current offer identity are not established for row 42.

What the features mean for you

Confirm the model and its electrical label

Capresso's support index lists model 559 and links a model-specific manual; its March 2014 comparison names #559.04 and lists 100 W, weight and dimensions. Neither source crosswalks row 42's B004DAYHXO to a current seller item, and the manual does not state the voltage needed for a hard supply match. A buyer should check the exact unit's nameplate and model suffix. Do not borrow the rating from #595.05 or another grinder just because the brand is shared.

Read the two adjustment descriptions together

The manual presents a 1–9 fineness scale and gives half-step recommendations for some brewing methods. The manufacturer comparison calls the #559.04 selector 17 settings. These describe the dial at different levels and should not be collapsed into a single claim that the manual lists 17 numbered detents. The documented range can help compare a buyer's preferred control style, while burr material and grind uniformity remain unknown. Maker brewing guidance is not an independent shot or particle-distribution test.

Use cup markings as an estimate

The manual's amount selector uses cup markings and Capresso says the amount varies with bean and grind fineness. It is therefore a bean-loading guide rather than a scale or exact coffee-yield guarantee. The manual also describes automatic stopping and a removable bean hopper, but it does not establish a weight target. Users who need repeatable grams should weigh coffee separately. The selector should not be used to pass a hard weight-dosing condition in the questionnaire.

Short runs and cleaning shape the fit

Capresso limits grinding to one minute at a time, followed by five minutes of cooling. It excludes commercial use from the warranty, requires the grounds container and lid to be fitted, and describes brushing the chute and upper burr. Loose parts are not dishwasher-safe. These directions make the #559.04 a home-batch candidate rather than equipment for continuous service. The numeric grounds-container capacity is not given, so the removable bin should not be represented as meeting a specific volume threshold.

Keep unverified outcomes unscored

The maker materials supply a model name, controls and physical specifications, but not measured grind consistency, dose repeatability, retention, noise or espresso performance. The approximate 12,000 rpm value in the chart is not a test result. Bean capacity is the only numeric hopper volume given in the manual, at 8 oz; no numeric grounds-bin volume is documented. Row 42's historical ASIN and any current Amazon item remain unverified. Use the exact-model search, check the rating plate, and treat unknown facts as unknown.

What else to compare

Explore this category →

Before you buy

How large is the bean hopper?

The #559 manual lists an 8 oz hopper; it does not give a numeric grounds-bin capacity.

How many settings does it have?

The maker comparison lists 17, while the manual presents a 1–9 scale with half-step brew guidance.

Does the cup selector weigh coffee?

No. The manual describes approximate cup markings, not a scale or measured mass target.

What run/rest limit is documented?

The manual says no more than one minute at a time, followed by five minutes to cool.

Is row 42's ASIN a current product link?

No exact current offer was verified; use the labeled #559.04 model search.

Where can I check the current price?

Use the Amazon link for current offers. Check the exact model, seller, product condition, delivery, and return terms. This page does not display a live price or confirm stock.
