I did not find it to grind consistsnty. Too much variation per batch. This was not my experience with it's previous model. I retired the new one and got the Japenese hand crank conical burr. From Hario $42. Beautiful grind. Slow. Take the Zen Approach!

The grind is too inconsistent to use for espresso. If you are talking whole bean, about 20 grams will fit inside.

I would not.... If you do not have the option of getting espresso powder I would grind up the espresso coffee really really really fine.... I love cooking with ground espresso it's a staple in my home

Alex,I did not ever try to grind fine enough for Turkish but I do not believe any of the Baratza's are designed for Turkish style grind. In fact, I did a little digging and copied Baratza's "official" stance below. Hope this helps!ScottNone of our coffee grinders are designed for Turkish grinding. Turkish grinding puts a heavy load on the machine, and our burrs are not designed for that purpose. I recommend a hand grinder for Turkish grinding.Regards,Pierce JensBaratza Support

You can use any kind of coffee, just grind it fine for expresso or buy espresso ground type.

I'm not a coffee expert, but from everything I have read and experienced, the quality, freshness of the roast and the grind will determine how good your coffee experience is. I would at least choose an espresso grind when choosing coffee beans. (Finer ground then coffee for drip machines)

Yes. I love my Capresso grinder. Though, I usually use it for my coffee press, I have used the fine grind and it works well.

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

What kind of coffee pot? The finest grind I use this mill for is espresso. Unless you're making Turkish coffee, you should be able to get an excellent grind from this hand mill for any other brewing method. I think you could get a Turkish grind from this mill, but it may wear your burr down prematurely and/or will be tiring to grind at that setting.

Olga: This unit did not hold up to my grinding needs. I use a fine setting with dark, oily beans, and this grinder could not handle it. The company even admitted that it wouldn't, yet refused me a refund. If you use a lighter bean, it will probably work for you. I'm unfamiliar with Turkish style coffee, and I can't tell just how fine this grinder goes, but its range seemed to be quite adequate, (assuming darker beans aren't used.)I've been using the Baratza Encore for many months. It does not buckle under when I use a fine grind with dark beans; I recommend it, and it sells for a few dollars less than the Capresso. My review of the Capresso, "Do you like a dark roast and fine grind? Beware!" may be helpful. Olga: This unit did not hold up to my grinding needs.

Not sure. Others have complained about grind consistency. I grind fine but for a drip machine, and if have had no problems overall, I love it. But sorry, not sure whether it is consistent enough for an espresso machine

I use this coffee in K Kups at the same ratio as regular coffee. Since it's fine ground I'd try a bit less then normal grind in a pot.

I don't recommend this grinder for espresso machines. I have the setting at A which is the most fine grind you can have and still wasn't fine enough for espresso. It works great for Keurigs and regular coffee machines.

No, not unless you want bad espresso. This is a blade grinder, and will never be able to achieve the consistency required for good espresso. It may be able to make a powder out of some of the particles, but unless the particle size is consistent, the extraction will not be consistent. You need a burr grinder to get more consistent grounds.

The answer is "YES", using the espresso setting. I would not recommend using the same grinder for both coffee AND spices, as the different flavors may have an unpleasant effect on one another.

I would say yes, but if you do pepper and spices I would keep it that way. It is not easy to completely clean if you were to then try grinding coffee.

Guess it depends on your taste. I believe black and espresso go well together. Good luck!
