How many grinding setting does it have? Does it do fine, coarse and some in between?

Not sure how many settings they have. You can dial from a coarse grind to a relatively fine grind as I am now using. BTW, I don't find these grinders to be a waste of money as one reviewer responded back.

There isn't a fixed number of settings; there's a little knob on the bottom of the grinder that you turn to adjust how fine or coarse you want your salt/pepper. So yes, you have a full range of options. (By the way, we've had ours for six months or so and *love* it.)

There is a screw at the bottom in which you can tighten it or loosen to adjust the size. BTW....we have had this for maybe two years and we just love it. Especially when company comes over and the light illuminates the food....it works just great. Have fun.

It is manual and there is a knob to adjust the setting which can be adjusted for finer or coarse grinding.

I use it on the coarsest setting for my french press coffee. And it's definitely coarse enough.

Yes, you can tell it how much to grind (it's just a grinder; it doesn't brew). It has settings in increments of 2. I.e.: your options are 2, 4, 6, or 8 cups.

I am using mine for salt and pepper but you have to make sure that it is a fine grind, not coarse.

The grind is adjusted by tightening (finer grind) or loosening (coarser grind) the finial on top, but I have found it to be pretty limited in terms the difference in grinds you can obtain. Not a big problem for me and the price was right.

Not sure of your "super coarse" concept, but in my opinion, the coarsest grind is too big for table use . . . good luck!

Yes, it only has one functional setting when grinding. You control coarse to fine by length of time you depress grind switch.

I really don't know, I have only used it to cook on. It's easy to find either fine or coarse grind, though.

At first, it grinds really well. But it's a smarter decision to just invest in a more expensive grinder because mine stopped working after about 7 or so uses. Not worth 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.

To answer your question, I tried the "coarse" setting (since I never use it). Most of the pieces were coarse but some were more like "medium." Looks like the grind is not even on the "coarse" setting.

It will grind coarse if you don't grind too long.. Not sure why the other reviewer said no. It even says so in the instructions.

It doesn't do very coarse grinds very well and it also doesn't hold it's setting...so you pretty much have to adjust every time if you're picky about the grind. I've liked it pretty well for a standard fine-to-medium grind for cooking and peppering food. If you're looking to make a cracked pepper encrusted piece of meat etc you'll probably need something a little nicer/more expensive.

One setting, 250 watts will grind quickly, type of grind will be determine by duration

To the best of my knowlege, it does not come in a coarse grind. Mine didn't work at all well until I used a "christmas tree" shaped stone in a Dremel tool to sharpen the little teeth very gently on the inside. Now it grates like a little grating fiend. I hope this is helpful.Gerry N.

It only comes with one plate and since this is my first grinder I don't really know a fine grind from a coarse one. I've been using it to make fresh ground chuck burgers. I only need to put it thru once and it's the perfect consistency for that purpose. The front plate is a separate piece so maybe the company sells other options.
