Looking for powder fine grinds, like McDonald's salt. Can it do this?

The grinder has an adjustable setting so you can make it as fine or course as you want. I have never compared it to Mcdonalds so I am not sure if matches their salt size exactly or not but it can grind it pretty small. Go ahead and order, remember if you're not happy with it just let me know and I'll issue you a refund.

I have only used it for course salt, but there is a burr on the bottom that tightens or loosens the grinding plate, so maybe small seeds are possible for it to grind. I know my salt comes out in very fine grains. Poppy sees are pretty tiny tho, so your guess is as good as mine.

Not sure since it's not something I've tried. Don't know why not - you can get the grind as fine as you want - it's a SUPER grinder!

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.

Yes... There is a dial at the bottom of each side that can be turned to either grind finer or more coarse.

yes don't know much about coffee grind but finer would be best. I could see it working well for instant coffee and would be useful when filling a "my k cup"

If you broke them up into smaller pieces it might. I don't think it will grind them as fine as you'd want. It's not going to be powder.

Definitely not. Even the finest grinding mode produces a pretty coarse powder. Very Disappointing!

Not sure what you mean by 'powders'. This coffee maker is designed to work with standard drip coffee grind. Everything from Folgers and Maxwell House to Starbucks and Dunkin' Donuts. If the grind is very small, the result could look like powder, but I wouldn't recommend a grind that fine. It would make very strong coffee, and might float up and over the filter and get into the coffee pot, or worse, cause the filter to fold over and block the drip. This would cause an overflow and a very big mess. But if you use a standard grind, its a great inexpensive coffee maker. Nothing fancy like a timer or automatic shut-off or temperature settings, but an all around good appliance for a very good price.

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.

Yes, Either coarse or medium grind. The finer the grind the better the stuffing process is.

I use mine for powdered sugar and we have to shake it a few times to get enough sugar on our French toast. Maybe it would work for your powdery salt.

I don't think it has the capabilities to grind things into powders. I am almost 100% certain it cannot. I primarily use it for my dogs food and it can barely grind chicken bones which it is supposed to be able to do.

I used a battery operated grinder and it handled it just fine, until the grinder pooped out ... but then I used it a LOT. Then I just decided to buy the already ground stuff and I'm much happier. Either way it's quality salt, no additives, no difference in taste or flavor, and no grinding!

I've never done that but I'm sure it can be done my father uses a grinding bowl and it does get a fine texture. I use a salt grinder but I prefer to use the salt to cook in its natural state.

I know what you mean. This is the grinder for you. Very accuate. Try the pink sea salt . I love this grinder.

Yes, it will grind roasted coffee beans as fine as talcum powder if you want it that fine, or more coarse if that is your preference. I have even used it to grind green coffee beans (which are very hard, and thus extremely difficult to grind) to a fine powder. It does heat up a little during the grinding, and the thermal switch may cut in before you get the beans fully ground. To reduce the risk of that happening, I freeze the beans before grinding them, by placing them in the fast freeze section of my freezer about an hour before grinding.
