Perfect with french press. Did not order beans. Coffee was all ready ground but I say it was fine ground. Very smooth coffee. I usually drink Peet's but we tried Death Wish Coffee and it is the World's Best Coffee. Ready to see it in Costco. :)

I always make Death Wish Coffee with a French press, tastes great. I would highly recommend it.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I bought this as a gift for my father-in-law for Christmas. I personally don't drink coffee so I wouldn't even know how to answer this question.

This is a trick question lol. You need to use "Coarse coffee grinds" however I used maxwell house fine ground beans. The only down fall is I may of used to much because some parts where a DARK BROWN color. I would suggest grinding the coffee coarse like there directions say (AFTER YOU BUY IT HAS DIRECTIONS ON BOX)

I grind mine at home/work and run it through my French press. There is some oil, but I don't think it would be enough to damage your machine.

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

I've used different grinds - maybe use a little less coffee with a fine grind, a little more with a coarse grind.

Coarsely ground coffee, add to canister. Add hot water-i use a kettle but stovetop is fine. See instructions for suggested exact temp if youre picky. Slowly push down press, moving ground coffee to bottom of canister. Pour into cup directly from canister, it also has a strainer on spout just in case.

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!!!

The wire mesh tends to allow the smallest particles through which is why french press grind is larger pieces than the grind for a regular coffee maker. As long as it's not enough to notice when you're drinking it should be fine.

Yes, BUT, it's not FINE enough. You will get some sludge. If you are diligent and grind your coffee in larger grounds it might be okay. I abandoned mine.

I haven't had the grounds come up into the coffee. It is a mess to clean up but that's part of the French press thing I'm guessing!!!! You don't grind the coffee very fine so check that out too....good luck!!!!

Not as fine as espresso. But pretty fine. If you're getting it ground by someone or grinding it yourself there should be a French press setting.

We do not use it for fine grinds-- just coarser, as for French press coffee. We have a different grinder we like for fine grinding.

I use a fine grind like you'd get when you buy ground coffee from the store. Hope this helps.

You must use coarse ground coffee, the coffee you purchase for a drip coffee maker is too fine a grind. A coffee grinder is a must or you will need to find a store that will coarse grind beans for you.

It is not fine ground - more like medium. SO it doesn't work too well if you coffee maker uses #4 or so. It is good coffee but has gone up in price now so you are better off with Fairway or Zabar's (in NY) otherwise coffee is expensive.

Hi, I found the grinds to very inconstant so I returned it. It can get very coarse though, I think someone posted a picture that is exactly what I got. But for french press I was not happy.

I concur with all comments so far, except I find it too messy to use. Coffee grounds fly out in every direction between the grinder and the receptacle, because of a loose fit which creates a gap between the two. If you work out a solution to that, it is a great grinder, especially for coarse ground French Press brew. You have to measure the amount of ground coffee to use, though. depending on brew method, and store any excess grounds. Final note: mine was not that quiet, rather noisy, compared to a Cuisinart, which I use far more regularly.
