Does this coffee grinder dispense based on weight? For example, do I set it for 30grams of ground coffee for my Aeropress and it grinds it?

Yes, you can set it for three different weights. I have one setting for the correct number of grams for an 18 ounce cup of coffee. The other settings are for a 24 ounce and 30 ounce brew for French press

No it does not; I base my amounts on timing and volume from experience; if I grind too much, I put the remaining ground coffee in a container in the freezer after I measure out the coffee into my coffee maker and then use the ground coffee within a day (I store my beans in the freezer). Over the last 30 years I have had about 4 coffee grinders and at least one had settings; however, these settings are not accurate depending upon the size of the bean, how packed the hopper is, how often the grinding wheels are cleaned (buildup of coffee oils can slow grinding down), etc. so I don't rely on settings for bean grinding.

It will hold 22 grams or 0.8 ounces of coffee beans.It will grind a uniform coarse drip or a fine expresso, your choice.

No, it will put through however much water you have in there, regardless of the cup setting. The cup setting is for the grinder only... Mine tends to grind too much (like if I set it to 6 cups on light strength it will grind enough for 10 cups.) SO instead I set it to 4 cups to grind for, and fill the water reservoir to 6 cups... and it brews six cups of coffee, but uses a bit less beans.

It is likely because either your grind is too coarse or you're not tamping the grounds forcefully enough. Invest in a good quality grinder and make sure that you set it to a rather fine setting, tamping to approx 25lbs pressure.

Hi Mark....I bought but do not recommend this grinder. It is plastic, very light weight, and I cannot get it to do the extra fine grind. I installed as per the manual, and only later found the yellow paper advising to ignore the directions, as this could break a piece of the plastic. Unfortunately I only saw this after the small plastic piece broke. As Amazon gets this from another supplier, they do not stand behind this product. I have the Breville burr grinder and love it!

There it's not a specific adjustment, but I control the grind by how long I grind the coffee. I use 10 pulses for regular grind; more pulses for finer coffee and less for coarser grind.

Mine does. The pressure for every pull varies depending on grind, tamp pressure, amount of coffee, etc. I've even noticed that the oiliness of the beans affects the brew pressure. If your doesn't work I suggest you call Breville.

It has 22 settings. I only used the medium so far and it does a great job for a little grinder. I am not sure how the grounds are suppose to be for expresso but It goes from extremely coarse to extremely fine, like dust almost so I would guess one of the fine settings is for expresso. I've used mine many times and it's still working great. For the price I'd give it a go.

Fredm - I purchased this grinder as a Christmas gift for a family member and ended up keeping it for myself and buying another one for the family member. I really like the product. It is a blade grinder and I find for automatic drip coffee-maker, I would normally set the grinder to medium. With this grinder, I need to set it more towards the coarse setting. You might have to experiment a little but I have no complaints about this grinder.

filled full the grinder pre-grind holds 40-42 grams of beans.Ground it has a line for one and two cups. the 2 cup line of fresh ground beans makes a stout pot of coffee in the Mr Coffee 12 cup maker. in my Aero press oh la la. hope this helps.

I use it only for coffee beans. Works fine but you have to judge how long to grind. My previous coffee grinder had automatic gring setting from course to fine. That is my only complaint

Seems to me it grinds only, but it adjusts to fine or coarse. Maybe the fine setting is the "crush"?but it works great.

This grinder has an adjustment that allows you to select the size of the grinds. You just turn the know and it is set. I use mine for making press coffee (course) but you can make it very fine. Just experiment, or compare to your store bought grinds as a guide.

The booklet is very user friendly. It comes down to your preferences in taste. You can set it up to deliver a cup of coffee of your choice. As advised, do NOT adjust the grind UNLESS the grinder is running. You can stop the amount of water being added by pressing the button you chose again. Experiment with the variables until you are happy.

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/

Yes it does. I adjusted my grind to fine to release the intense flavor of the coffee beans. It did exactly that.
