I did not find it to grind consistsnty. Too much variation per batch. This was not my experience with it's previous model. I retired the new one and got the Japenese hand crank conical burr. From Hario $42. Beautiful grind. Slow. Take the Zen Approach!

I don't recommend this grinder for espresso machines. I have the setting at A which is the most fine grind you can have and still wasn't fine enough for espresso. It works great for Keurigs and regular coffee machines.

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.

I like my coffee really strong so I use espresso (fine) grind. I've noticed regular grind makes for a little weaker coffee.

Absolutely. Go for as fine a ground as you can get without coffee dust flying out of the machine. A very fine setting and dark-roast beans will get you the strongest flavor -- because the more surface area that touches the water, the stronger the brew. I also use more coffee per cup than most instructions suggest: 1/4 cup of grounds per 8-oz mug of coffee. I prefer medium dark beans and less than espresso strength. You get more coffee flavor from beans that aren't dark roasted, in my opinion and that of many coffee roasters, baristas, buyers and growers. If you like the burnt bitterness of espresso, though, go for it. Absolutely. Go for as fine a ground as you can get without coffee dust flying out of the machine.

It's 2-3 inches , you may need an adaptor. Coffee pots usually have small diameter and they are tall considering the specific type of simmering for turkish coffee.

It can grind coffee beans into espresso use fine powder so I think so. I'm not 100% sure though.

I don't know. However, if you use it for spices only it might be ok. Otherwise, you could end up with peppery or spicey coffee.

No, not unless you want bad espresso. This is a blade grinder, and will never be able to achieve the consistency required for good espresso. It may be able to make a powder out of some of the particles, but unless the particle size is consistent, the extraction will not be consistent. You need a burr grinder to get more consistent grounds.

I really don't know. I've had one for over a year and use it daily for Turkish grind. An excellent product, takes some time as fine as I grind but never any problems. Only today found an electric for under $350 that might match it.

The grinding element is steel, however the case etc is plastic. In regards to the other models of grinder I don't know how it compares. I can state that the grinder works very well for our purposes, and if it disappeared I'd buy it again. Only complaint is that it doesn't grind fine enough for Turkish coffee. FWIW

Yes it grinds very fine. Gets a bit "clogged" after but you just need to brush it out for the next grind. Esperesso beans j=Fine=stickier. BUT dont' get the Keurig 2.0. The solo grind cup won't fit in it.

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"

I can't answer this, but it is sturdy and makes great Turkish coffee. There's a company atlantonnet.com/category/coffee-pots phone 224-279-275 which is the company that sells these pots to Amazon. I'm sure they will help you better. All I can say is that it makes great Turkish coffee. In the reviews at Amazon everyone said this is the one and so it is. Based on that I bought this pot and I wasn't deceived.

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).

Not sure. Others have complained about grind consistency. I grind fine but for a drip machine, and if have had no problems overall, I love it. But sorry, not sure whether it is consistent enough for an espresso machine

You can use any kind of coffee, just grind it fine for expresso or buy espresso ground type.
