Why does this not come with an instruction manual? I've never used a manual grinder before and some instructions on how to use it would be nice!

It's very easy to use. Adjust the size of the gring tighting or loosing the screw in the inner part of the grinder. Then just turn the crank and enjoy.

Mine came with an instruction pamphlet. If there wasn't one in the packaging, I'm sure the company would provide it to you via email.

Put what you are grinding in the top and turn clockwise slowly to grind. It will take a little time to grind say 12 cups worth of coffee. To adjust grind corpse ness or fineness remove nut, leaver and locking device. Turn star nut counterclockwise for a corser grind and clockwise for a finer grind. Reinstall locking device, leaver and nut and you are ready to grind. I used this grinder camping and it did a lovely job for us.

Hi there! Yes, my grind setting is incredibly difficult to change but I am able to change it, I just never do. I didn't even realize that the manual said to change it during the grind. I have done it only while it's not grinding. I have noticed that it will change a little easier if I don't push down too hard. It's a bit frustrating so we just stopped changing it. We have it set to the finest grind and that's where it stays. :) Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Julie: Just pull the top silver piece straight off and fill. Be careful as today I filled my pepper grinder and I pulled the top rather firmly and some peppercorns flew when the top came off. My fault as I was in a bit of a hurry. Hope you enjoy the grinder. Do you have both the salt and pepper ones? I have both. Had to order from two different vendors, but love them both. They are well worth the money spent. Enjoy!

You are going to love the grinder! I would say try different grinds and have it set at 4 to start. I use a scooper to scoop out what I need for each pot. You'll also need to set your grind. It will all depend in what type of brewing system you use, ie, French press, drip, percolator, as well as the type of beans. It will be a little hit and miss your first couple brews until you get it just the way you like it. The instruction book that came with it is very helpful. Enjoy!

Yes! Works great with one issue. We have the little brown/greed/red plastic ones. (Not metal) They do give you one of theirs though (a little better design too). The issue is that this grinder always grinds too much, even on setting "1". So you have to stop it manually after 5/6 seconds. If you don't mind that, it's a lot easier than refilling those from a bag.

I can't remember if I ever took mine all the way out. But as I think/remember it, I thought it simply screws in. You need to turn it like a screw about 10 turns or so to get to the point that is clicks for the grind select. At least I think that is how I remember it...I unscrewed it to clean and then just screwed it back in. But it has been ages so I could be wrong. Sorry if that wasn't too helpful.

there is a picture of a hand tool on the box so why would this NOT be for hand tools? and if the guard is taken off the 4 1/2 right angle grinder i dont know why it would not work.

Are you pushing the pod handle in manually or just pushing it in for a second to activate the grinder? You may have a defective unit. Also, check the filter size you have selected like the other commenter mentioned.

Hi mark. Without knowing " how fast is enough" for what you are doing, I would hazard a guess that there is a problem with your grinder. They should have a max rotation of about 10,000 rpm max.

No idea, but a darn good question. I have not purchased the grinder yet, but am interested in doing so. This may sway my purchase.Good Luck!!

I have been using this grinder for several months - I will grind as finely as you wish. It runs and has an automatic "off". If you want it more fine - run it longer. Whether the fine setting is correct or not is a matter of preference. It will grind very fine. I hope this helps.

Did not find in manual the material used for the burrs, however, it states if one complies with the operating instructions, there is a life time warranty on the grinding mechanism. Hope this helps.

There is a manual adjustment knob just like on a normal variable speed grinder/polisher. We haven't clocked the speeds but, slow is really slow and fast is good enough. We use it mostly for polishing and metal prep (high grit) not material removal. It doesn't get used everyday, but it is $300 well spent when we do use it.

I found instructions regarding the grind on their web site. I didn't see any diagrams.

My grinder came with a 4 page manual that opens like a brochure. It's called a use and care manual. It's not very much, but it is to the point. If you did not receive this with your grinder you can go to lemproducts.com and download it. Go to "Product Info" at the top of the page and under this click on "Product Manuals". This will bring up a list of products. Click on "777,779,780,781,782 Stainless steel meat grinders". This will bring up the manual. Then download it and print it.

I would say having used other grinders that it's not exceptionally easy but average. There is some twisting involved. Hope that helps. It works well.

Can I use my bricks or does it only grind? Also, this is my first Espresso machine, I know almost nothing about them. Does it come with a good manual? Based on some reviews I read I feel I need to hold a doctorate to operate one. Tell me it aint so.
