No idea. But my guess is it would work. Of course you'll probably end up with carpal tunnel by the time you get enough to brew a pot.

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.

It must be finely ground, as a for espresso (finer than American coffee and rawer than the Turkish one). About the flavor, it depends by your taste, but I prefer to avoid artificially-flavored coffees.

you must grind the coffee beans finer. And coffee will be stronger. But it also depends on the brand of coffee ......

Yes. We use it for grinding coffee, cardamom, clove and other crunchy spices. Almonds should be no problem. It has two different grinding cups with different blades for different grinding jobs.

Yes, especially if you use a cheaper blade type grinder, if you grind your own beans. To minimize particulates in the bottom you really need to use a coarse grind coffee.

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).

Not at all. Per Susan's comment, the finest isn't nearly fine enough for espresso, or Turkish -- maybe adequate for drip or French press ... that's about it. The purpose of a burr grinder is to produce similar-sized coffee particles ... for flavor/aroma; otherwise, a blade grinder will do the job (and cost less). This unit is a glorified blade grinder (look inside and you'll see that their idea of a "burr" is a joke -- just blades are used!). So, back it goes ... trying other brands (perhaps Cuisinart); otherwise, will stay with a blade grinder, which is better than a mortar and pestle. Live and learn. Not at all.

No, I only tried to grind peanuts, it works great.I do not believe it can grind coffee beans properly, just by looking at the blade mechanism.

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.

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.

I'm thinking the coffee beans would be too large to grind with this. I'd get a coffee mill.

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!

Have never used it for the seeds you have listed, but know it will grind coffee beans up to an almost dust. Have enjoyed it, when I do decided to grind coffee beans.

yes. the grinder can be used to grind anything, even dried spices, that is large enough to need grinding. you will have to clean the grinder after each use or before grinding coffee beans, so that your coffee doesn't taste off.

Grind setting #1 indicates Turkish coffee grind, so I assume it would perform that just fine. I happen to use the far other end of the grind scale for French Press and Percolator (coarse grind), so I actually haven't tried setting number one.

I would say yes if not tooo fine a grind. It is a fine mesh and if you've ever use a coffee press you would probably get same effect. I haven't done it myself because I don't drink coffee so I don't see why not. Finished pot should contain no grounds. Not to mention that when I was young, my grandmother use to make great coffee by putting the grounds in empty egg shells. The coffee stayed pretty settled at the bottom of the pot inside the egg shells and you poured carefully. So this should work.
