Does the 8" Atlas Pepper Mill grind coffee - or do I need the 11" Coffee/Spice Mill

I'm thinking the coffee beans would be too large to grind with this. I'd get a coffee mill.

Originally, these grinders were used for grinding Turkish coffee (very fine, well past espresso), although you would need a lot of forearm strength and patience as it would be very slow for grinding coffee. If you are choosey about your coffee, I would get something with a Burr grinding wheel in it. Hario is a name I have heard in this regard.

The Pepper Mill works great on peppercorns, but to grind coffee would be a bit tedious.

No, it does not. The opening at the top is only large enough for peppercorns. Coffee beans would be too large.

I wouldn't chance it only because if you ruined the machine your SOL. Also, if you don't have it ground the proper grind it will not give as good brew. I understand your problem I truly do-sorry about that:( I just went to SB the other day and had them put the grind on the 2 setting (if that helps)

I do not have the salt grinder; I only have the pepper mill, so I can't answer your question.

Yes, you can tell it how much to grind (it's just a grinder; it doesn't brew). It has settings in increments of 2. I.e.: your options are 2, 4, 6, or 8 cups.

As long as it has the standard 5/8" x 11 arbor, which is the standard size on most angle grinders

I'm using an all purpose grind (Starb_cks C_f_ V_r_na), 6 coffee measures (old C-F-Nuts measure) for an 8 cup pot. Using M-L_tt_ #4 paper filters, and coffee is very good. Found that some St_rb_ks stores grind coffee coarser than others, even when you specify conical filter. Like the pot; makes cosistently good brew.

Gary, to adjust the grind, there is a large slotted screw head in the bottom of the mill (accessed from underneath ) that adjusts the grind. It works well. I have had this mill for well over a year (and ground a lot of pepper). The grind size remains very consistent for a given settng.

They have both sizes. For me, the 11 oz was just right for one cup of coffee.

You can set the grinder as to the size of the grind.I put mine right in the middle and it's fine with us.And it is easy to "grind"!

I used a 4.5 inch with it. You might be able to get by witb 4 inch but make sure you keep the guard on the grinder.

I don't think so the space were you would put pepper or items to grind is very narrow so I don't think nuts or coffee beans would fit.

Yes it will grind spices. The manual lists these spices in its guidelines: Peppercorns, Cinnamon Sticks, Whole Cloves, Coriander Seeds, Flax Seed. It does not say anything about those being the 'only' kinds of spices to use, so, I think that any kind of spices that are similar in structure to those (or coffee beans) should be fine. As for amounts, it lists "up to 4 tablespoons"; that will give you an idea of the capacity for each grinding.

I haven't used it for anything except pepper. But, this seems to be a fairly good quality grinder and the size of the grind can be adjusted which might be useful for different types of spices.

What kind of coffee pot? The finest grind I use this mill for is espresso. Unless you're making Turkish coffee, you should be able to get an excellent grind from this hand mill for any other brewing method. I think you could get a Turkish grind from this mill, but it may wear your burr down prematurely and/or will be tiring to grind at that setting.

I don't know, it should. We have a separate one for spices because I don't want to clean it over and over. We grind both coffee and spices every day so I guess I'm lazy, LOL.

No adjustment is necessary. It all depends on how long you run it. I use a medium to fine grind and I count to 10 when I run it. I've used several burr grinders that are far more expensive and they tend to clog and some of the grind is fine and some course in the same batch. Right now I'm using a grind-n-brew coffee pot from Cuisinart that my kids gave me but I don't use their grinder. I use this one.

Not sure what you are asking. Mine has a diameter of only 6 inches. An 8 cup pot with a 11-inch diameter would look more like a skillet, wouldn't it? If you're looking for something else, I'm sorry.
