can this grind to a fine espresso? Im looking for a grinder that can grind coffee to the consistency of flour. Any suggestions?

I haven't tried grinding that fine, but i imagine it'd take quite a bit of time to do, assuming it can do the job.

Absolutely great for espresso. Just adjust to the grind you want. Also great for grinding spices. I have 2 of these but my friend just makes sure she cleans the burr real good when switching between. Love the ceramic burr.

Depends on how fine you grind it. I think espresso will defintily go through it.

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

Hi Constance, Thanks for asking. Our Espresso Grind is ground by a commercial grade grinder so it should work fine for your stovetop Espresso maker. We also offer very fine grind and whole beans. We do however recommend whole beans for freshness. Thanks, Coffee Fool Natalie

I've been using Starbucks bagged Espresso. I have them grind it. I've had mine for about 6 weeks and sometimes it would struggle to push the espresso out or leak water out the side..and considering it was a new machine I was upset. I asked the girl at Starbucks and she told me to try a coarser grind. So instead of the 3 that Starbucks normally grinds it at...I asked them to grind it at a 3 1/2 and I took it home to try it and it was PERFECT! Poured at a decent rate, had good crema, and NO leaking water out the sides ;) <3 Hope that helps!

You should look for espresso coffee and grind it to a relatively fine espresso grind.

No, it doesn't grind that fine. It's great for everyday home use, but really not for very fine type grinds.

I just buy espresso grind coffee, making sure that arabica beans are used 100%. But, I am not a coffee connoisseur by any means. You will have to wait for the machine to cool almost completely before you use it again. My biggest reason for having at least two of these.

Do not tamp it down too hard and as long as your hear a 'chugging' noise, it is working. Check your grind, too. It may be too fine. Espresso grind is too fine, use a slightly coarser grind. Also, get a burr grinder. Blade grinders make too much fine powder and will clog the filter. Cool?

I've got mine set on one and it gives a powdery finish to the grounds that can't be beat for a smooth, flavorful coffee. So much so that we hardly ever use the espresso machine unless we are making a base for ice cream or something that requires tons of coffee flavor with little liquid. This is a really great grinder!

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.

I just got the grain grinder attachment for Mother's Day! I used to have a Komo grain mill, capable of very fine grinding. The flour I get from grinding with the attachment isn't quite as fine, but is still very good. I use it for my weekly bread baking without much loss in quality. I don't have the pasta attachment or blender yet, but I do have the shredder and the juicer. I love both. Overall, like the Verona the attachments seem to be very well made.

It works fine for French Press. I don't brew espresso, but the finest grind seems fairly powdery.

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.

I believe your grind is not fine enough. I use the grinder in the grocery store and put the setting on espresso or Turkish (the finest).

I only use mine for French press grinding ( big chunks) but the grinder is easily adjustable by using the nut/screw underneath the handle. Mine grinds very consistently; I don't see why it wouldn't do a fine grind.
