How course can this grind pepper?

To answer your question, I tried the "coarse" setting (since I never use it). Most of the pieces were coarse but some were more like "medium." Looks like the grind is not even on the "coarse" setting.

Quite coarse. Actually at its coarsest setting, it is more like cracked pepper. So for most recipe applications where it calls for coarse ground pepper, I use the next-coarsest setting. It does a very good job of giving a wide range of grinds.

All settings are rather course and uneven. The finest setting is still a medium coarse and cannot provide a powdery fine pepper that I desire for certain dishes. Hubby played with it to try to adjust it without luck. So frankly we use it on the "finest" setting all the time.

There are several settings so you can do just about anything with it. im a chef and it's the best grinder that I have ever owned!

You can set the grinder as to the size of the grind.I put mine right in the middle and it's fine with us.And it is easy to "grind"!

The top has a rotating dial thinggy so you can easily twist it from fine to pretty big. Mine has held up really well. Been very happy with it, but then. it's OXO, and their stuff is well made and well designed.

I do not know. My pepper grinder is inoperable. You can call the people at Kaloric for assistance..there is an engineer on staff, who may be able to tell you.

You can set the grinder to grind pretty course but there are mixed reviews about the quality of the grind on course setting. It would work but may have a grind that is not as uniformed as other grinders.

Greetings. Separate the body from the bottom and add peppercorns. Works great. You also can adjust the grind.

You take the black screw out of the bottom, remove the pieces, fill, replace pieces & screw back together. You will have to reset how fine you want it grinded though. It works like a typical salt or pepper grinder, it just looks like an owl.

I think YS answered the question very well. I bought the grinder to grind dried Serrano peppers I keep in the kitchen. It does not work for these peppers but looks nice on my black stove.

I can grind enough pepper to add to a receipe, or enough pepper to add to two finished dishes in 5 seconds. I've really never measured the output, but it does a pretty excellent job.

I have not tried it, but I would think the way it is built that you should be able to accomplish that. This grinder has several grind settings and does a great job. I am very pleased with it since I purchased it.

Tyler, thanks for the question. If you want your herbs ground to a 'powder' you are probably better off buying an electric spice/coffee grinder with a very fast spinning blade.

I've ground a pretty wide variety of peppercorns through this mill (ada banyak variasi di Indonesia). And this is the best peppermill that I have ever used in that respect. It feeds well and the blades are as sharp as day one. My only complaint is that it grinds less finely than you would expect for a fine mill. I can only wonder what the coarse mill does, just crack them?

No instructions were included with this grinder. The design is pretty straight forward; other than the magnetic lid the other compartments are threaded to screw together. Place your spices (pepper, etc) in the top compartment and twist (which may require a decent effort) until you reach the desired consistency.

I use mine for sea salt & black pepper corns. U turn the top to grind. You can also adjust the middle to grind fine or course. They are big but I like them cuz you dont have to fill as often. I hope they come out with regular spice size to fit in cabinet.

This is the best pepper grinder ever. I like Tellicherry pepper and grind it from fine to very coarse, for coating steaks. It has a very large opening for filling the mill and it holds a lot of pepper. It even has a bottom cap that keeps the pepper from ending up everywhere. You won't be disappointed with this product. As usual, OXO has done it again!

If you look at my short vidxeo you will see that it does not give a powder fine grind of pepper. Although you can grind salt (ceramikc mechanism) it is a much harder spice than pepperm The grind will be even coarser.

You just have to core the raw pepper then cut it into chunks. It works really well.

I have used it to grind whole peppercorns. Does a decent job. Grind for a few seconds, then check for desired consistency.

I find it varies with different peppercorns, there are lots to try In humid weather the peppercorns can absorb a little moisture and get tougher, don't grind up wellIf in doubt put the peppercorns on a tray in the oven for a short time to dry them outI'm very happy with this pepper grinder
