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 can't give you an objective answer, however, I can tell you that I grind my beans for espresso at the lowest "fine" level and the grind is ideal....the grinder then has an additional 4 levels of "extra fine grind". Without having confirmed it for myself, I would guess that the Capresso should suit your needs for the extra fine grind needed for Turkish style coffee. Good luck!

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.

It wil achieve a grind suitable for Turkish coffee, which is to say, about the consistency of flour. It is, however, adjustable to grind much more coarsly, to suit your needs.

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

Yes, but grind it coarse first, then fine if wanted. Coffee beans are a little sticky.

The one I got for 2013 Christmas does an excellent job in making powder, probably for Turkish coffee. It is true that the finer settings require more effort as grinding is more difficult for fine grinds.

Alex,I did not ever try to grind fine enough for Turkish but I do not believe any of the Baratza's are designed for Turkish style grind. In fact, I did a little digging and copied Baratza's "official" stance below. Hope this helps!ScottNone of our coffee grinders are designed for Turkish grinding. Turkish grinding puts a heavy load on the machine, and our burrs are not designed for that purpose. I recommend a hand grinder for Turkish grinding.Regards,Pierce JensBaratza Support

I have only used it for my french press. That grind is course. I did gain some respect for the grinder though and I think it would do well for any grind. Good luck.

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

It is a fine product. I have used it for fine grind in my Turkish Coffee Ibrik all the way to more course grind coffee. It comes with instructions in the box when shipped. I use it everyday and would highly recommend it.

Yes. It has a good range of grind. I use mine with aeropress, which is similar to French press, and electric pump espresso machine.

Yes. I've used it on both gas and electric. You don't need a lot of heat anyway if you're making Turkish coffee. I recommend this item.

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.

Guess it depends on your taste. I believe black and espresso go well together. Good luck!

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.
