Can I use this grind in an espresso coffee maker?

Yes it works very well! The grind is fine enough but not too fine. It gives good cream and a dark good tasting expresso.
1794647
Yes of course you can use it in any espresso or coffee machine (powder based)

If you mean the machine type, yes. I use a stove top espresso pot (Moka pot) and it works great.

I believe so, as it is espresso. I use a stove top espresso maker from biliatti. Hope this helps.

No. Since it is preground you cannot control the flow through adjusting the grind size. Therefore it will only be "useable" in cheaper espresso machines that have a pressurized portafilter.

You could use it in a Cuisnart probably with just one filter but you may not like the flavor as this grind is really made to be used inan espresso maker.

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!

Burr grinders are specifically designed for espresso. They can and will make grinds that are more course but you can buy a much cheaper machine to achieve that result.

The grinder makes drip appropriate coffee grounds when it is set at its most fine setting. I'm happy with it, and you COULD use those grinds in an espresso maker (they work OK, I've tried them in my Breville Cafe Roma for espresso). But if you wanted a burr mill especially for espresso, I'd get a different one. I have used Cuisinart's standard one, and it works well; but it broke after not too long, and the replacement I bought broke soon after. So far this Mr. Coffee has worked well for me, but it's been only 2-3 months.

You can totally use ground coffee. Just throw it in the filter compartment, and press "grind off."

I've never tried it for espresso, we use it strictly for Arabic(Turkish) coffee of which it grinds a beautifully consistent talcum powder consistency. Arabic (Turkish) coffee is the finest grind of coffee you can get, 100 microns or smaller, compared to normal espresso which is about 300 microns, so I believe this machine can easily grind a very good espresso as it is able to go 3 times finer if need be. We also thought we were going to have spend hundreds of dollars to get a fine enough grind for Arabic coffee and even then some of the $300 - $400 ones had complaints about not being small or consistent enough, but we are very happy with the fineness and consistency of this one. I hope this helps you decide.

I would say yes if not tooo fine a grind. It is a fine mesh and if you've ever use a coffee press you would probably get same effect. I haven't done it myself because I don't drink coffee so I don't see why not. Finished pot should contain no grounds. Not to mention that when I was young, my grandmother use to make great coffee by putting the grounds in empty egg shells. The coffee stayed pretty settled at the bottom of the pot inside the egg shells and you poured carefully. So this should work.

Espresso grind, but don't pack the coffee in like you would in an espresso maker.

Commercially ground espresso is a bit finer than what I can do with my home burr grinder, but I think it should work fine. The output filter is a very fine nylon(ish) mesh, not holes through the plastic container. I'd certainly try it.

I use this grinder daily for a coarse french press grind, but I have also installed Orphan Espresso's Lower Bearing Upgrade Kit for it, to stabilize the grind size (http://www.orphanespresso.com/OE-Lower-Bearing-UPGRADE-KIT-for-Hario-Skerton-Kyocera-CM50-Hand-Grinders_p_4066.html). OE notes that if you install their bearing kit you lose the ability to use the grinder for a super fine espresso grind.

I am not as good as you are and I use the already ground espresso coffee/espresso grind. I've used a couple of brands and both worked fine. FYI: this is a stylish little espresso machine and it works! Hope that helps.

Yes this WILL make espresso........you would have to use ESPRESSO beans instead. I ONLY use espresso beans.

It can grind as fine or as coarse as you want depending on how long you run it. I use it for grinding the beans for all my coffee, whether it's coarse for my Chemex of really fine for my espresso.

This unit works best using espresso grind size coffee. Regular coffee grinds being too fine will not allow water to flow through the smaller grinds. This unit like other espresso units will require larger grind coffee to work efficiently.

You might want to ask Peet's directly. It's a fairly fine grind. We use it in reusable K-cups in our Keurig brewer.

You aren't doing anything wrong. Before I bought this grinder, I really researched what I needed, and I knew going into it, from the expert reviews outside of Amazon, that this grinder is not recommended for Espresso. I didn't want or need espresso grind, so I was fine with this lower end version. I have heard that the Virtuoso model makes good espresso, though I do not have personal experience with that grinder.
