is there a way to adjust the grind and the temperature?

As Zareh said, you cannot adjust temp but there is a small pin in the coffee bean hopper that you can adjust with a special "key" supplied with the unit, from coarse to medium to fine. It's a fine tuning mechanism, so I wouldn't expect a huge variety in the grind. You can adjust the amount of water however, from an espresso to a "lungo" (more like an American sized coffee) if it is the strength of the brew you want to adjust.

There is not a way to adjust the temperature, but the grind is in the top where you put the coffee, see the manual

The grind is set by removing he cap nut, slipping off the locking washer and tightening or loosening the screw. There are no "settings" or "dials" per say. The procedure is simple and easy to figure out even though the instructions are entirely in Asian script. I got mine adjusted on the third attempt and I like it a lot more than my electric grinder with spinning blades because the grind is consistent.

No - unfortunately, there are no settings for this so you just have to hold the top down to grind it as much as you want or as little as you want.

Not that I saw. The only adjustment however is the dial up in from the bottom that sets the grind

Pete's right....adjust the grind from fine to course on the silver part on top, then turn that sucker upside-down an grind away!!!

If it can, they aren't telling how. I would have liked to adjust the grind size to a real "fine" but without possibly destroying the unit I couldn't figure out how to adjust the grind sizes. I have a stand-alone grinder and it came with directions as to how to make its grind finer than the factory setting. Similar directions from Capresso would be nice, but with all the other deficiencies I have just gone back to using a Melitta style filter. Easier to control and the coffee comes out as strong as I like.

There is a screw in the bottom of the grinder with a groove (works fine with a flat-head screw driver) you can turn either direction to adjust the coarse or fineness of your grind. I played around with mine over a large piece of wax-paper until I got a nice mix; partially coarse/partially medium-fine. Good Luck! BTW, I love this pepper grinder. The seasoning of foods with fresh grind is beyond compare!

If you are asking is it possible to adjust the handwheel then I must think you are wanting to know is it possible to adjust the grind size. If that is what you are asking then the answer is yes. In fact i own several small manual grinders and this one is by far the best for getting the grind size you want and the machine will keep it's setting. The others I use have to be continually readjusted. That is such a hassel when you just want to make a cup of coffee first thing in the morning.

I've never tested adjusting the salt grind, but the pepper grinder is def adjustable.

No adjustment is necessary. It all depends on how long you run it. I use a medium to fine grind and I count to 10 when I run it. I've used several burr grinders that are far more expensive and they tend to clog and some of the grind is fine and some course in the same batch. Right now I'm using a grind-n-brew coffee pot from Cuisinart that my kids gave me but I don't use their grinder. I use this one.

Yes, you can adjust the temp as much as you want. Just turn the temp knob to the new temp as you would in an oven in a stove. I have some recipes where you preheat the oven to a higher temp and then turn it to the cooking temp when the food is put in. It performs very well. Good luck with your baking!

No, you can not adjust the grind size, this mill produces the grind through force unlike the grind mechanisms you will find in two-hand operated mills.

I was struggling with this as well. This process worked better (I actually got a great cup like this):~24 grams medium ground (Baratza encore setting 26)190-200F water (Hotter than I was doing, pretty much just filled the press up when inverted)Pour slowly, Stir for ~15 seconds, use two rinsed filters (I do all this slowly so it is around 30 sec brew times). Flip it over and press slowly. Now, I

I have found that by either loosening or tightening the screw on the top you can adjust the grind coarseness

Yes! Setting a specific temp is impossible (a lot of tinkering with knob), a good cooked steak is possible.

My answer to your question is yes. This device works very well and grinds the coffee to the very last bean and does so according to your setting....and it is not hard at all to adjust the grind to your liking. You have to use a little elbow grease, but the result is great.
