Watching the video, the fine grind grinds in 'shots'. Can I change that to 'cups'?

If there is a way, I don't see how you could. I just looked at mine and as you leave the "filter" range and enter the "espresso" range" (moving from left to right) it automatically switches from cups to shots. I suppose you would have to work out how many shots would equal cups and go from there. The machine assumes that when you are in the espresso area that you are trying to fill one portafilter (1or 2 shots.)

The display of the BCG800XL Smart Grinder™ is divided into two sections along the top for the 'fineness'. The right half is set up for Espresso and the measurement will show for 'SHOTS'. The left side is set up for French Press/Percolator/Filter and will show the measurements in 'CUPS'.

There is a round silver screw on the bottom that you turn to adjust the grind. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind, counterclockwise for a coarser grind. This works on my mill. If yours doesn't work there's something wrong with it.

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.

Good question...I would say yes...though you would have to experiment with the setting to get the right grind.

Unfortunately I think the manufacturing tolerances won't allow anyone's settings to transfer over. You just guess at your grind and try it, make a note of the flavor and go both ways. I'm pretty happy with mine at what my memory is of grounds in a can (like Folgers)

I had similar issue when I first got my machine. Adjust the grind to finer, adjust the water volume. However, I also found the strength to be inconsistent which appears to be oily beans not sliding freeling through the hopper. I regularly push the beans toward the end of hopper to get better consistency. I also use the bypass quite often, which is much more consistent. This also gives me the ability to change beans cup by cup, but defeats the purpose of a fully automatic coffee maker.

You can adjust the grind, which is great and I use it in a press every morning. You do have to hold it firm with the non grinding hand to not spill the beans!!! It's great little grinder!!

There is a metal filter available which can be cleansed and reused. I don't recommend it - it allows small bits of grind to pass through into your cup.

Put what you are grinding in the top and turn clockwise slowly to grind. It will take a little time to grind say 12 cups worth of coffee. To adjust grind corpse ness or fineness remove nut, leaver and locking device. Turn star nut counterclockwise for a corser grind and clockwise for a finer grind. Reinstall locking device, leaver and nut and you are ready to grind. I used this grinder camping and it did a lovely job for us.

I have found the link below helpful on the grind setting for each method. I tweak it based on my liking and coffee properties.http://www.thecoffeechaser.com/a-guide-to-grinding-your-beans/

Yes, you can tamp down on the grinds. I absolutely love this and it is worth buying.

You tighten / loosen a screw to adjust your grind. I keep an eye on the ground material and adjust the screw if needed as I go. As mentioned in other reviews, multiple grindings may be needed for your desired texture.

You can totally use ground coffee. Just throw it in the filter compartment, and press "grind off."

You can adjust the grind from very coarse to an espresso grind. Once the coffee is ground it sits in the bottom wooden recepticle and is therefore covered. I use it every morning with my french press. It is sturdy and works perfectly for any grind you'll need.

This has an adjustable knob under the handle which allows you to adjust the corseness. It can be very corse or very fine, but you will probably have fine powder either way (just less corse ground). You will get a workout grinding your coffe!

Pete's right....adjust the grind from fine to course on the silver part on top, then turn that sucker upside-down an grind away!!!

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.
