Does it have an adjustable grind setting (i.e., coarse to fine)?

No, it does not. Just a simple one touch function. Duration is controlled by user, the top is clear so that you can monitor the progress on the grind.

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.

No, You vary the time you to change the grind. The longer it is on the finer it gets.
1723356
No. The only switch/control it has is an ON/OFF switch. The grind setting effect can be achieved by pressing the switch longer/shorter.

There is no setting. But if you want fine, you grind longer. At least that is what I do.

You can adjust it to grind at different degrees of coarseness, and it is very consistent at whatever degree you choose. It is smaller than I expected, but otherwise very nice. I prefer it to the electric grinder when I am making less than a full pot. It takes too long to use for a full pot since you have to refill it 3 or 4 times.

no, it has a button to turn it on, and you keep it depressed for how long you need, to get the desired grind you want. for a coarse grinds, i keep it depressed approximately 10 seconds.

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.

The grinder comes with an instruction booklet that gives suggestions on how to control the coarseness or fineness of the grind. It all boils down to how long YOU hold the activation button down on the grinder. David

Very much so . Still , I have found it difficult to adjust precisely the setting in the finer grinds

There are no settings to select, you manually press the button and grind until desired coarseness of the coffee is achieved. It works fast and is easy to get beans down to desired coarseness.

Yes you can adjust the grind on it by turning the "wheel" at the center of each end. Very easy. Love this item!!

It does have an adjustment, opposite the handle. I don't know how effective it would be for grinding grain for making bread or grits. I just use it for cracking corn for chickens. What I grind is a coarse grind.

This grinder has one speed and has no settings for coarse or fine etc. You control how fine something is ground by varying the grind time... or by pulsing the button manually. It's a good sturdy grinder and would likely grind up any spices that you might want to put in it though.

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.

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.

There is a screw in the bottom of the grinder with a groove (works fine with a flat-head screw driver) you can turn either direction to adjust the coarse or fineness of your grind. I played around with mine over a large piece of wax-paper until I got a nice mix; partially coarse/partially medium-fine. Good Luck! BTW, I love this pepper grinder. The seasoning of foods with fresh grind is beyond compare!

It is adjustable. Out of the box I found the grains too course and the grinder allows you to adjust to finer or more course grains according to desire. Very well made product.

Yes, you can easily adjust the grind between fine and coarse and many stages in-between. To reach the white grinder dial, unscrew the clear plastic top next to the black plastic. Then turn the white grinder left or right to change the size of the grind. The first time you try this, grind over white paper to better see the size of grind. I keep a thick rubber band around the black plastic to make turning easier for me. Try green peppercorns instead of black corns. The taste is a bit milder, less sharp, and with more depth than black peppercorns.

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

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.
