Can you adjust for coarse vs. fine grind?

There it's not a specific adjustment, but I control the grind by how long I grind the coffee. I use 10 pulses for regular grind; more pulses for finer coffee and less for coarser grind.

No. That grinder is a piece of junk. Don't buy it. I purchased two different grinders under $20.00 and they both burned up within 10 grinds. I finally spent 30-35 dollars for one at Bed bath & beyond, and it works better. It was a cuisine art, I believe...

I wish it did that, but it doesn't. I use it for seeds and it is not as fine as I'd like for my shakes.

No the blades are not adjustable. Although that would be a nice feature to have.

Yes, the coarseness or fineness of your coffee grounds will depend on how long you hold down the button. There's not a specific setting. You'd just have to use you judgement. Grind longer for fine grinds and shorter if you like it more course.

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 of your "super coarse" concept, but in my opinion, the coarsest grind is too big for table use . . . good luck!

I only use mine for French press grinding ( big chunks) but the grinder is easily adjustable by using the nut/screw underneath the handle. Mine grinds very consistently; I don't see why it wouldn't do a fine grind.

I use a medium grind. Finer grinds will clog it up. However, I use a Cory glass filter. Medium to fine grind may work OK with the cloth filter', but medium or larger seems to work best with the glass. But really it's not that 'picky'!

I have found that by either loosening or tightening the screw on the top you can adjust the grind coarseness

This grinder has no coarseness setting. You have to adjust coarseness by how long you grind the beans. This was one of the problems I had with this grinder.

No, you can not adjust the grind size, this mill produces the grind through force unlike the grind mechanisms you will find in two-hand operated mills.

same mill works fine for both - there is an adjustment on the bottom for fineness of grind

Yes, this will grind coffee into a fine powder. it is a great grinder that can adjust from fine to coarse.

The grinder is adjustable by a thumbscrew on the shaft directly under the grinding head at the bottom of the grinder unit. It's easy to adjust and you can get from fine to coarse bits. However, with the salt grinder, within a few weeks the thumbscrew got corroded on the shaft and adjustment was not possible afterwards.

no. The longer u hold it down & let it grind, the finer it becomes. There are recommendations in the paperwork. 14 seconds is what i am using for a medium grind.

No, You vary the time you to change the grind. The longer it is on the finer it gets.

You definitely can. Turn the silver knobs clockwise and the grind size will decrease.

Yes, it is adjustable from very fine to very coarse. The old model adjusted with the finial nut on top which had to be readjusted each time it was refilled. This new model the adjustment is on the bottom and does not change until you manually turn the dial; a real improvement over the old one. My initial grinder was purchased over twenty five years ago and has been used heavily in a restaurant kitchen daily. This model also has the added benefit of building strong wrists. It's a bit of a tough turn but once you get it going the it really produces.

We do not use it for fine grinds-- just coarser, as for French press coffee. We have a different grinder we like for fine grinding.

Your preference in coarse vs fine ground coffee will depend on the properties of the paper filter you choose. I use Walmart #4 filters and grind my own coffee using a Cuisinart set to medium.

Absolutely... You can set the grind fairly coarse and works great when grinding for a French press. Also makes te grinding process much quicker.
