Hi! Does it grind the cofee fine enough for an espresso cofee pot?

The grind is adjustable, so yes, you can grind it very fine for espresso or Turkish coffee. My experience is that darker roasted beans grind much easier, these new barely roasted beans (aka blue bottle, etc.) are murder to grind...

Don't know exactly how fine of grind you need, but it is adjustable and can take the bean down to almost a powder.

Commercially ground espresso is a bit finer than what I can do with my home burr grinder, but I think it should work fine. The output filter is a very fine nylon(ish) mesh, not holes through the plastic container. I'd certainly try it.

Yes, I have. I had to because the grind was too fine for my espresso maker. I think the mocha pots work better with coarser grinds, but this worked well. You don't need to tamp, just level.

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

I have not used it for Expresso Grind, however, there is a setting. I would also say that for a drip coffee maker, it is almost set at the maximum (largest grind). This would indicate to me that the finer grinds are all that ... fine grinds.

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.

Yes, in fact most of the settings produce a rather finer-than-usual grind. I have never used the finest setting since I don't make espresso. However, the medium grind produces a powder that was as fine as the espresso setting on my previous grinder. Be aware that this grinder requires constant cleaning and the mechanism has gone out of alignment on me twice. It is terrible to fix it since you must dismantled the whole upper assembly using a special screwdriver that most people don't likely have.

I use a coffee grinder to grind whole espresso beans for this machine. Doesn't have to be super fine but I think you get better espresso that way. Great machine especially for the price. My local Peet's coffee recommended this machine to me - it's been a great little machine. Good milk foaming too. Hope that helps.

I wouldn't advise it. It is ground to almost a powder. This is a ground for steam to be pushed up through it to get the most flavor. Hot water just dripping through it would never do it justice. Buy the Mocha Pot. Get the "6 cup" it actually means the espresso cups. It has the best feedback and it is only $23+. I gave one at a "Chinese auction" Christmas Gift exchange and the guy LOVES it. You'll get your espresso at a coffee pot price.

Yes. This was a gift to my nephew who is sort of a coffee snob. He did a grind to use in a french press and he was pleased with it. He was then changing the setting to grind finer when I left so don't know about other grinds. He was impressed with the burr grinder.

Yes! It does a lovely job grinding beans. I have a small stove top expresso pot and it gives me a good expresso grind when I do it for 20 seconds at level 8 speed. I have a small kitchen timer that can count down the seconds and I've found it useful for timing the grinding of either coffee beans or whole wheat berries for bread.

It depends on how finely you grind your beans and how tightly you pack it. My wife makes her espresso just fine, so I'm sure yours will too.

No,I think not. The grinding mechanism is too fine for coffee. Also it would take you so long to grind enough for a cup. I recommend a Peugeot hand grinder from Framce. Can handle coarse for press and fine for filter and does not take a long time to grind. Easy to clean, less noise than electric, nothing to break and pretty to look at!

Yes. I have been using it with a Saeco poemia espresso machine for about a week. It is working fine so far.

The finest settings works just fine for an espresso. Ground espresso I buy are a tad finer but this one also produce a very good espresso. I'd rather use this than a blade grinder.As for the comment about coffee outside of the container, I did not experience anything like that. I do not fill it up though.

I use a French press and the grind that I get from this grinder works for me. you can customize it to make it more fine or more course as you need. there are a couple of useful YouTube videos that demonstrate this feature - - ie adjusting the grind to suit your needs.

It can grind as fine or as coarse as you want depending on how long you run it. I use it for grinding the beans for all my coffee, whether it's coarse for my Chemex of really fine for my espresso.
