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!

The documentation does say it's suitable for Turkish coffee but also says you shouldn't use dark beans on the finest setting.http://www.capresso.com/media/wysiwyg/Infinity_IB_Eng_OL_828_.pdfThe problem is that they don't specify what the actual grind size is for any of the settings. For Turkish coffee, you want your coffee to be in the 50-150 micron range. There's no telling what this actually grinds to or how consistent it is. You may need to find some real coffee-nerd reviews.

You can use any kind of coffee, just grind it fine for expresso or buy espresso ground type.

I really don't know. I've had one for over a year and use it daily for Turkish grind. An excellent product, takes some time as fine as I grind but never any problems. Only today found an electric for under $350 that might match it.

It can grind coffee beans into espresso use fine powder so I think so. I'm not 100% sure though.

I'm not a coffee expert, but from everything I have read and experienced, the quality, freshness of the roast and the grind will determine how good your coffee experience is. I would at least choose an espresso grind when choosing coffee beans. (Finer ground then coffee for drip machines)

Absolutely not. The grind is too coarse for a properly pulled shot (the shot would be underextracted without a good crema) and it is not fine enough for a proper espresso from a stovetop espresso maker.

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

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.

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

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).

Yes it would do a fine job.. It would grind a coffee bean well. Buy and enjoy.

I think it might be ok. I used it to grind cardamom seeds and it was great. The grind wheel is adjustable so you should be ok. I don't think it would work for coffee beans or anything of that size

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

It works fine for coarse grinds. We do both fine and much less fine for coffee maker.

Not sure. Most espresso grounds I've seen are more fine than this. That said, I'd give it a shot. This coffee is amazing.

It would go well with espresso. I love it. It is solid wood and very good quality.
