Can you adjust from a fine to coarse grind?

I don't recall there being a way to adjust these. These work well, however, they don't hold much. I later purchased these Kuhn Rikon 9-Inch Ratchet Salt Pepper Grinder, White and like them much better. These CAN be adjusted.

No, not that I've noticed, it's really small, you just screw the bottom pour in the pepper and screw it back on....but I could be wrong

No, and pepper doesn't work well in them. It does work, but not as we'll as salt.

Nope, no adjustments. It's nice to be able to operate this with one hand, but your thumb gets tired after a while if you love to use a lot of pepper. It's mainly for people who want just a little pepper. I will sell you mine, LMK if interested: dbkf16@gmail.com.

The Original Pump & Grind mills were all designed the same way to allow the user to grind salt and pepper with one hand. The grinding mechanism in our mills is a stainless steel rod that has teeth, as this rod is pushed down through the contents of the mill it creates the grind. In conventional two-hand operated mills there are grinding wheels at the base of the mill so you can adjust these moving parts to create smaller or larger granulated output, with the Pump and Grind mill there are no mechanisms to adjust. I hope this help to better understand how our Original Pump & Grind mills work as opposed to the conventional two-hand operated mills. Have a great day.

Yes, but grind it coarse first, then fine if wanted. Coffee beans are a little sticky.

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.

Yes, the U-shaped bracket under the handle can be removed & then the grooved locking wheel underneath can be turned clockwise or counter clockwise to adjust the grind from coarse to fine. It's very easy to adjust and produces a very nice grind.

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

If you want a coarse grind, this grinder can do it. You can recalibrate it to grind coarser than it does out of the box, but that is very easy to do and is documented in the manual. I suggest that you turn the knob to #1 and try it. If it is not coarse enough for you, use a 5/32" allen wrench to remove the screw from the knob, and turn the white adjuster to the left a little (two clicks), then replace the knob. Grind consistency is excellent with this grinder. To counter claims that the grinder spills grounds: I use a small rubber mallet to tap the grinder body and I don't have any problem. (Put a piece of tape on the grinder body to protect it from marring.) Almost any coffee grinder will be messy--even commercial ones. When cleaning the grinder, check that the two allen screws in the back of the grind adjuster are screwed firmly into the threaded holes. Tighten them with the 5/32" allen wrench. Mine had worked out (it caused no damage), but they haven't loosened since I tightened them.

It will grind coarse if you don't grind too long.. Not sure why the other reviewer said no. It even says so in the instructions.

There's a device on top that you tighten or loosen to adjust the coarseness of the grind. After owning for 6 months, I would not recommend this product.

Yes, if you flip the grinder over, there's a brass screw that allows you to adjust the grind. We have our set for a pretty fine grind for black pepper, but it could go even finer.

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!

The Grind control knob only adjusts how long the grinder runs, not how fine it grinds the beans. There is a "MILD MED STRONG" setting, but I am not sure what this does as mine is always set to "STRONG" and the grind is still very course.

Yes, this will grind coffee into a fine powder. it is a great grinder that can adjust from fine to coarse.

There is a knob on the bottom (top in this picture) that will tighten or loosen to change the grind. Honest these are pretty nice to use on a daily basis.

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.

No, You vary the time you to change the grind. The longer it is on the finer it gets.

yes, you can choose from a very fine to a coarse setting. it is an excellent mill.

In my opinion? No. I wound up because of the humidity clogging this grinder not using it for a long time. I was constantly having to shine it up and get the green off from the humidity issues. You really can't adjust the grind on this unit. I wish you could.
