Does anyone know offhand how to adjust the grind? Mine's grinding pretty coarse, and I'd like to set it for finer.

turn the peppermill up side down and turn the knob a few times to clear the grinder

The grind is adjusted by tightening (finer grind) or loosening (coarser grind) the finial on top, but I have found it to be pretty limited in terms the difference in grinds you can obtain. Not a big problem for me and the price was right.

You can adjust the grind. I prefer my salt larger than table salt so it works well for me.

Hi Amanda, Well I've had more time with my KA grinder since I wrote that review. I'm still pleased with the way it operates but have come to realize that grinding times need to be longer than the directions call for. I, too favor a fine grind so have been holding the grinding to a count of twenty (one one thousand, two one thousand, etc.). Sometimes it helps to pause at ten and shake the grinder lightly to ensure a thorough grinding with no left over whole beans. Enjoy!

I have noted the grind settings are not perfect. I keep a small bowl to catch the extra grinds. I also set mine to give me slightly less than I need, then I manually top it off.

Kind of, I was hoping..the grind is really good but the static can drive you crazy. If you find something that works, let me know. You really need to clean it out with each use.

There's a device on top that you tighten or loosen to adjust the coarseness of the grind. After owning for 6 months, I would not recommend this product.

You tighten / loosen a screw to adjust your grind. I keep an eye on the ground material and adjust the screw if needed as I go. As mentioned in other reviews, multiple grindings may be needed for your desired texture.

I believe your grind is not fine enough. I use the grinder in the grocery store and put the setting on espresso or Turkish (the finest).

Hi, I have the same grinder and have never had that problem. If you haven't done this already, remove the collet completely, check for any burrs inside and try your bit in it off the grinder. If it still doesn't fit, perhaps the bit isn't the right size? All the 1/4 inch burrs I've bought have worked well in mine. Sorry I can't be of more help.

This was a gift but from what I saw, the grind was pretty coarse. I also think it's adjustable. My son-in-law loved it - laughed every time he used it!

Hold the upper ridge of the wooden column and the bottom ridge with the other, then twist apart. Then dissemble the metal grinder to set it as wanted. Try first I guess; mine was finer than I wanted.

I use this grinder for espresso drinks and have never tried grinding much more coarsely. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer. They have great customer service and can advise you fairly quickly after sending them a message.

Just to clarify you pulse the on/off switch -- therefore you don't hold it "longer" for a finer grind, you simply grind it again until you reach the consistency you want. It's a blade grinder so there are no settings like on a burr grinder.

To the best of my knowlege, it does not come in a coarse grind. Mine didn't work at all well until I used a "christmas tree" shaped stone in a Dremel tool to sharpen the little teeth very gently on the inside. Now it grates like a little grating fiend. I hope this is helpful.Gerry N.

It will grind coarse if you don't grind too long.. Not sure why the other reviewer said no. It even says so in the instructions.

I have never tried to adjust the grind. I love it the way it came in the box.

I set mine almost at coarse, as I use a drip coffeemaker, and it seems coarse enough. Maybe contact the Saeco company?
