How long does it take to grind coffee for 2 small cups? Is it possible to adjust the grind level?

About 5 mins to grind coffee for 2 small cups.And yes, the grind level is adjustable.

I can't say. I use it for espresso. So I use a very fine grind. You can adjust it for any grind size. It takes about 5 minutes or so to grind enough for espresso. But that's a really fine grind but also a small amount. It would be considerably faster on a larger grind.

Yes you can adjust the grind level. It's very simple. It takes a few minutes of trial and error to find the grind you need. It would take less than 5 minutes to grind enough coffee for two small cups.

It would take a few minutes to grind the coffee. It's slow, not an issue for me, could be for you. The grind is adjustable and there is a wide range. It's a really neat very simple machine.

Time to grind depends on how fast you turn the crank and you can grind up to 3-4 cups worth at a time. I make 1-2 cups worth and it takes less than 1 minute and I don't turn it that fast. Grind is adjustable but you have to taje handle off to adjust so I experimented and found the right setting for my style maker.

The basic formula for french press coffee is 2 tablespoons of coarse grounds per 6 oz of water (6oz would be a small cup in my opinion). To grind 4 tablespoons it takes about 1 minute or so. For finer grounds such as espresso, it will take longer. If by "grind level" you mean the size of the grind then yes, it is easily adjustable from very coarse to very fine.

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

I have found out that if you grind your coffee to fine it kind a plug up, I re-adjusted the grinder until I was satisfied, I set to 2 cups, grind one bar to the left pass the center and for the volume 4 bar to the left, so far it work well for my need.

First, it is totally dependent on the fineness of the grind selected. The finer the grind, the longer it takes. I grind a breakfast blend to the second from finest grind setting. I fill the ground coffee receiving cup half full of beans, and grind all of them -- it takes about 1-1/2 timer settings to grind the whole batch. If 10 on the timer is 10 seconds, then about 15 seconds, but I think 10 is more like 20 to 30 seconds. The whole grinding process takes about 45 to 60 seconds.

I don't this machine will do it efficiently. You might do better with a coffee grinder but not sure. :)

I wish I could give you an answer, but there are too many variables that go into the idea setting for your choice of coffee and espresso machine. While time consuming the best grind setting will take a bit of trial and error. Good luck!

I normally make a 12 cup brew, and it takes about the same time, so I'm not sure why your 2 cup brew would be as long?? My theory is to make 12 cups at one time, and microwave the coffee in my cup for the next couple days, but if you have an aversion to that, it actually doesn't change the flavor! I can't imagine that a 2 cup brew would take as long as a 12 cup brew, but maybe it's inherent in the brewing process??

I have found the link below helpful on the grind setting for each method. I tweak it based on my liking and coffee properties.http://www.thecoffeechaser.com/a-guide-to-grinding-your-beans/

Not sure how to explain this..... There are two variables.....the amount of water and the amount of beans. If let's say you put in water to the "6" line but set the GRIND CONTROL (button in the middle) to 2 you will have 6 cups (small ones) of very weak coffee because the machine will allow all of the water to go through. On the other end of the spectrum you could put in water to the '2' line but set the GRIND CONTROL to 8 and get two (small) cups of VERY strong coffee. There are two more things to consider..... There is another control that allows you to set the strength and if I am not mistaken it controls the amount of coffee that is ground. AND of course there is the coffee itself!!! Dark roasted will make a stronger cup of coffee. It is truly easy once you try it a few times to determine the setting that you prefer. Personally I buy a medium roast and add a small amount of French Roast to it. I like to blend the two. To decide the amount of water I poured water into my mug and then into the water well to see what level it comes to. Each mug is ONE cup of coffee to me but reads more like two in the water well. I do hope this has been helpful. BTW I do love my coffee and this coffee maker.

I do 18g on a medium grind (7 clicks from tightest setting) and it doesn't take more than a minute. I can time it next time I use it.EDIT 9/18/14: I timed it and 18g took 60 seconds.

Normal, must adjust both coffee and cup desired. Decrease number of cups, but add water to same 10 cup setting. Machine will grind 8 cups setting, but add water for 10.

The amount of coffee is limited to 10grams, and the amount of water (in seconds) is programmable. The amount of time to cycle out the old puck and grind coffee for another cup s approximately 10 seconds. So, for a cup of coffee it takes about a minute. This is really more of a personal coffee maker....if you're looking to make 5 cups of coffee you'd have to refill the water reservoir several times. In my opinion....you should look for a higher capacity unit.

If you select the option to brew a cup (versus a carafe) and choose mug size 4 of 9 (there are 9 size options!) I think it takes about 6 or 7 minutes. The timing also depends on the flavor profile you choose - if you like it more robust (like I do), the machine will dispense the water into the grounds and hold it there a while to let it steep.

Time depends entirely on the fineness of your grind. A coarse French Press grind can be done in 30 seconds, while a fine espresso grind will run you a couple minutes and a little effort.

I found that there is not really a specific setting for a specific machine. I adjust depending on espresso, paper filter, brass filter etc. I only grind one pot at a time, so a little trial and error is less painful. I still love my machine.

The settings for grinding are 2,4,6,8 and 10 cups. If you put in enough water for one cup and set it on two for grinding it might be a little strong.

You can adjust the grind, which is great and I use it in a press every morning. You do have to hold it firm with the non grinding hand to not spill the beans!!! It's great little grinder!!
