You can adjust the grind by adjusting the nut at the top; the same nut you use to remove the top.

I use this grinder for espresso drinks and have never tried grinding much more coarsely. I would recommend contacting the manufacturer. They have great customer service and can advise you fairly quickly after sending them a message.

This grinder has no coarseness setting. You have to adjust coarseness by how long you grind the beans. This was one of the problems I had with this grinder.

Put what you are grinding in the top and turn clockwise slowly to grind. It will take a little time to grind say 12 cups worth of coffee. To adjust grind corpse ness or fineness remove nut, leaver and locking device. Turn star nut counterclockwise for a corser grind and clockwise for a finer grind. Reinstall locking device, leaver and nut and you are ready to grind. I used this grinder camping and it did a lovely job for us.

If you want a coarse grind, this grinder can do it. You can recalibrate it to grind coarser than it does out of the box, but that is very easy to do and is documented in the manual. I suggest that you turn the knob to #1 and try it. If it is not coarse enough for you, use a 5/32" allen wrench to remove the screw from the knob, and turn the white adjuster to the left a little (two clicks), then replace the knob. Grind consistency is excellent with this grinder. To counter claims that the grinder spills grounds: I use a small rubber mallet to tap the grinder body and I don't have any problem. (Put a piece of tape on the grinder body to protect it from marring.) Almost any coffee grinder will be messy--even commercial ones. When cleaning the grinder, check that the two allen screws in the back of the grind adjuster are screwed firmly into the threaded holes. Tighten them with the 5/32" allen wrench. Mine had worked out (it caused no damage), but they haven't loosened since I tightened them.

There is a manual adjustment knob just like on a normal variable speed grinder/polisher. We haven't clocked the speeds but, slow is really slow and fast is good enough. We use it mostly for polishing and metal prep (high grit) not material removal. It doesn't get used everyday, but it is $300 well spent when we do use it.

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.)

The grinder is adjustable by a thumbscrew on the shaft directly under the grinding head at the bottom of the grinder unit. It's easy to adjust and you can get from fine to coarse bits. However, with the salt grinder, within a few weeks the thumbscrew got corroded on the shaft and adjustment was not possible afterwards.

I have noted the grind settings are not perfect. I keep a small bowl to catch the extra grinds. I also set mine to give me slightly less than I need, then I manually top it off.

1.Remove the top lip like you do when you shake out the material. 2. Turn the grind adjustment to the most course setting you can. (CLOCKWISE). 3. Grab the glass bottom with one hand and the top plastic with the other hand unscrew (COUNTER-CLOCKWISE). This does take a lot of force 4. Fill. 5. Return plastic plastic. Adjust the GRIND setting adjustment back to original setting. Hope this helps. Also keep the threads free from the material for this can add additional resistance making it harder to open.

It's been grinding really well for me...very even. I have seen very few coarse bits and that's usually only when I don't do it long enough. Overall, still very pleased with this grinder. Hope this helps!

you just make an adjustment.. no particular settings are on the mill. I usually use the finer setting.. as I don't like chunks of pepper.

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

I have never tried to adjust the grind. I love it the way it came in the box.

Hi Zack, To adjust the grind, unscrew the nut at the very top of the handle. Lift off the handle and you will see a tabbed washer that fits into a slotted retainer below it. Lift it until the tab is no longer in the adjustment slots below and turn it either counter clockwise, for a larger grind, or clock wise for finer, and drop it back into one of the slots in the retainer. Replace the handle and nut and test the grind. It's pretty responsive and you will notice a difference from as little as two or three notches in either direction. Keep tweaking until you get your desired grind. Hope this helps, Moses

Bottom of the grinder there is a knurled nut. Clockwise to adjust finer, counterclockwise to adjust coarser. Love mine!

Hold the upper ridge of the wooden column and the bottom ridge with the other, then twist apart. Then dissemble the metal grinder to set it as wanted. Try first I guess; mine was finer than I wanted.
