Will this produce a grind fine enough for Turkish coffee?

Yes, I believe it will. The finest grind (1) was too fine for us to use in our espresso machine. We used the 8 setting (it goes up to 30-something).

I don't make Turkish coffee but usually grind on setting 4 or 5 for espresso and it's quite fine. That still leaves a few more even finer settings if need be. Found a link you might want to view. It has a chart for recommended grind settings. http://thezenkitchen.com/2010/11/gaggia-mdf-grind-settings-chart/

No, it doesn't grind that fine. It's great for everyday home use, but really not for very fine type grinds.

This BVMC-BMH23 coffee grinder should work fine for grinding 1 pound of coffee with two fills of the hopper.

I have only used it for my french press. That grind is course. I did gain some respect for the grinder though and I think it would do well for any grind. Good luck.

Based on what I know about Turkish coffee drinkers, myself included :) is, that even though we drink the coffee from the "tiny cups" it's customary to pour another" tiny one" after the first one..., so you would be better of with 24 oz.But, if that reason does not pursue you there is another one...when you cook Turkish coffee, the coffee will boil over in 12 oz one, or at least the level of coffee will rise right before its done, so 12 oz might overflow :)Enjoy it!!!!

you must grind the coffee beans finer. And coffee will be stronger. But it also depends on the brand of coffee ......

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).

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.

Yes. It has a good range of grind. I use mine with aeropress, which is similar to French press, and electric pump espresso machine.

What kind of coffee pot? The finest grind I use this mill for is espresso. Unless you're making Turkish coffee, you should be able to get an excellent grind from this hand mill for any other brewing method. I think you could get a Turkish grind from this mill, but it may wear your burr down prematurely and/or will be tiring to grind at that setting.

Hi Mark, it completely depends on how you are brewing your coffee (which method) and how strong you like it. If using a French press or a Turkish coffee pot and you like your coffee stronger, go with fine; if you like your coffee less strong or are using a conventional brewer, go with a medium grind.

Alex, I did not ever try to grind fine enough for Turkish but I do not believe any of the Baratza's are designed for Turkish style grind. In fact, I did a little digging and copied Baratza's "official" stance below. Hope this helps! Scott None of our coffee grinders are designed for Turkish grinding. Turkish grinding puts a heavy load on the machine, and our burrs are not designed for that purpose. I recommend a hand grinder for Turkish grinding. Regards, Pierce Jens Baratza Support

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.

Originally, these grinders were used for grinding Turkish coffee (very fine, well past espresso), although you would need a lot of forearm strength and patience as it would be very slow for grinding coffee. If you are choosey about your coffee, I would get something with a Burr grinding wheel in it. Hario is a name I have heard in this regard.

yes, but don't recommend it. The whole purpose of the grind and brew is to have freshly ground beans for the most flavorful coffee.

It is very fine mesh...so I think you could be all right with it so long as the coffee you are brewing isn't powder fine! I hope you enjoy this!!!

I would say yes, but if you do pepper and spices I would keep it that way. It is not easy to completely clean if you were to then try grinding coffee.
