Does it have an option to grind more coarsely? I prefer my salt and pepper more coarse as opposed to fine. Thanks

Yes there is a dial on the bottom of each end that you can adjust to as fine or coarse as you want that is why me and my wife enjoy this grinder she likes it fine I like it coarse.

Yes... There is a dial at the bottom of each side that can be turned to either grind finer or more coarse.

I like it but, I take mine to almost fine, so not sure it can be controlled, to do coarse or fine, it does not have an adjustment on it. But, it does grind it very well, and came with 2 extra cups to interchange, spices, herbs?

No the grind is not even. I usually sift and try regrinding the coarse bits. I am usually trying to get a fine powder though. I am not using it for coffee though. If you want an even grind for coffee you might want to consider some kind of burr grinder.

I just bought one of these, and the grind is suitably coarse at its coarsest setting. I also use a French press, but I use a fine grind. On a scale of 1 to 8 (coarse to fine), I use no. 7. If I made espresso, I should like it a little finer. I use the grinder with the factory settings, but you can adjust it (recalibrate it) to grind either finer or coarser than normal. Full instructions are in the excellent manual. You should be able to get a grind you like with this model.

I have only used it for pepper, but Yes, you can set the grind to quite fine.

Don't know for sure, but it does grind black pepper and sea salt to variances of fine, medium, and coarse.I would take a chance. Its an excellent auto grinder. We really like ours.

Hi Mary....In answer to your question, yes both the salt and pepper grinder have an adjustment on the bottom of each mill. Just turn the knob to the plus or minus clearly marked on the bottom to have a finer or coarser grind. You will love these but make sure you use new batteries. Each one takes four. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Sandy

It's just like a pepper grinder. You tighten the knurled screw at the base of the handle where it screws into the body to make the grind finer. When you loosen the screw the grind is more coarse.

Not sure how many settings they have. You can dial from a coarse grind to a relatively fine grind as I am now using. BTW, I don't find these grinders to be a waste of money as one reviewer responded back.

Mine is brand new, and it does not grind finely at all. Everything is coarse, even when it's on the finest setting. I am going to return this.

I have been using this grinder for several months - I will grind as finely as you wish. It runs and has an automatic "off". If you want it more fine - run it longer. Whether the fine setting is correct or not is a matter of preference. It will grind very fine. I hope this helps.

I haven't tried to use finer salt. I've only used larger grain salt. I'm not sure this would be a a good idea since the grains are already small and may "gum" up the grinder. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes it does although I would say it's course to "gritty", not "fine" and nowhere near a flour consistency. In my case I would say the fine grind is similar to course ground black pepper.

To the best of my knowlege, it does not come in a coarse grind. Mine didn't work at all well until I used a "christmas tree" shaped stone in a Dremel tool to sharpen the little teeth very gently on the inside. Now it grates like a little grating fiend. I hope this is helpful. Gerry N.

The more you turn screw on the bottom of the grinder out (counter clockwise) the coarser the grind should be. To make the grind finer, turn the peppermill upside down and turn the mill slightly back and forth like you are grinding. This will allow the pepper seeds to fall out of the grinding burr and make turning the adjusting screw easy to screw in.

You grinder should be able to grind your salt but it's tough to grind...I have my husband do it for me. :)

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?
