Q. What are the general rules for coffee ground coarseness?
A. Generally the coarseness of ground can be adjusted by turning the grind adjustment knob or nut, depending on the type of mill. Check which type of mill you have, then follow the guide in the table below.
| Samples | Coffee Grind Coarseness | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fine (Approx. 0.5 to 0.8 mm) | Medium fine (Approx. 0.5 to 1.0 mm) | Medium (Approx. 1.0 to 1.5 mm) | Coarse (Approx. 1.0 to 2.0 mm) | |
Type where grind adjustment knob is rotated (Turn the grind adjustment knob to the left listening for the click sounds (counter-clockwise)) [Visual samples of coffee grounds: Fine, Medium fine, Medium, Coarse] | Number of Times Grind Adjustment Screw is Rotated | |||
| 5 times | 10 times | 15 times | 20 times | |
Type where grind adjustment nut is rotated and fixed by the stopper (Rotate the grind adjustment nut to the left, then lower the stopper (counter-clockwise)) [Diagram: Illustrates coffee grinder parts labeled 0-5, with a counter-clockwise rotation indicator.
