Does it only have one function for a grind setting? For example some have a function/button to grind for espresso vs french press.

Yes it only has one function. However, if you want a finer grind, just grind longer. IT does not have settings, so you need to examine the fineness of the grind yourself. It may take a little trial and error to get the type of grind that you want. The grind for a French press and a drip coffee maker is about the same. As for espresso, it would take some time longer to grind it fine, but it is possible.

Yes,there is only one button/function for grinding. The longer you keep that button pressed down = the finer results you will have.

One setting, 250 watts will grind quickly, type of grind will be determine by duration

Grinding is performed when you hold down the spring-loaded power button, giving you a fair amount of control over the outcome. Aside from investing in an expensive burr grinder, I've found that pulsing is really the only way to get any control or consistency over the level of coarseness/fineness; this grinder, in its beautiful simplicity, allows you to do this.

Yes, it only has one functional setting when grinding. You control coarse to fine by length of time you depress grind switch.

This grinder has one one function / one speed. You only regulate how long you grind. Does a very good job.

YES, There is a button on the front that says "Grind Off". After you hit that button you turn the unit on as usual and it goes thru the brew cycle as usual. We love this coffee maker. It makes really good coffee.

This does in fact have a variable speed dial on it. I needed a variable speed grinder for grinding a concrete countertop and this worked great for me. For the price, you can't go wrong.

No built in grinder.But unlike another response, I have enjoyed this machine immensely. I'm not a daily user but it's definitely hot and the espresso quality depends a lot on your bean choice.

Yes, in fact most of the settings produce a rather finer-than-usual grind. I have never used the finest setting since I don't make espresso. However, the medium grind produces a powder that was as fine as the espresso setting on my previous grinder. Be aware that this grinder requires constant cleaning and the mechanism has gone out of alignment on me twice. It is terrible to fix it since you must dismantled the whole upper assembly using a special screwdriver that most people don't likely have.

Absolutely. That's why I bought the Preciso. So I could go from Espresso to press on the same unit.I now own a Baratza Vario. It has a different burr setup and it's not as good for course grind, but most people wouldn't notice the difference.

Grind setting #1 indicates Turkish coffee grind, so I assume it would perform that just fine. I happen to use the far other end of the grind scale for French Press and Percolator (coarse grind), so I actually haven't tried setting number one.

Unfortunately, it does not! I will say that I use it all the time for NOT pressing. But it keeps drinks hotter longer than ANY CUP I've had prior to this. It goes everywhere with me. I ended up accidentally buying the same cup, but without the french press...and I think I'll keep it so I can swap back and forth.

No, and I don't think such a feature would be of any advantage unless the grinder is built into an automatic coffeemaker. You want to get the grounds in water as soon as possible after grinding, so you don't lose all that aroma!

It works fine for French Press. I don't brew espresso, but the finest grind seems fairly powdery.

No. The only switch/control it has is an ON/OFF switch. The grind setting effect can be achieved by pressing the switch longer/shorter.

It has a lot of settings from Fine to Coarse, with multiple settings in between. For example, if you want a medium grind, you can select from multiple notches on either side of the medium setting. Per the instructions, we started with Medium & now keep it 2 notches before Medium. There are 9 notches between Coarse & Medium, and another 9 between Medium & Fine. Plus there are cup settings from 2 to 18 on the side which tell it how much to grind. Hope that helps.

No, there is no clock or settings other than quantity (cups) and coarseness of the grind.

We use ours with a frech press and only grind for 6 seconds. It isn't completely unifrorm, but it works for an inexpensive grinder.

This grinder has an adjustment that allows you to select the size of the grinds. You just turn the know and it is set. I use mine for making press coffee (course) but you can make it very fine. Just experiment, or compare to your store bought grinds as a guide.

Pro: The grind adjustment allows course grind for French press, or very fine for espresso. but Con: not convenient to readjust on a regular basis. Grinding more than about 5 coffee scoops can be tedious. Overall, I am pleased with this device. I have read that electric grinders cause the grounds to heat up and loose some of the flavor.
