is there some expected life for the grinder?
I just bought your Turkish coffee grinder and I'm shocked that it doesn't grind into powder for Turkish coffee, it makes fine grains but not powder. It's absolutely nowhere near being a powder! How can this be possible if it's for Turkish coffee? The nut/bolt you mention is very, very tight. I don't seem to be able to move it. Does it go counter clockwise to get powder? If so, would using pliars help move the very tight nut/bolt?
Best Answer: Linda, I've made the following observations on my grinder:
The nut turns clockwise for a finer grind (just like flour).
If pliers are used to tighten it further, the grinding mechanism will lock up.
Mine is set to a point just before the mechanism locks up; the handle and "blades" turn easily and smoothly. The bolt on my grinder is very difficult to turn by hand. I was lucky enough that when I received mine it was already set to a good setting.
I suppose that you will just have to experiment to get your correct setting. I would suggest tightening the nut in a clockwise manner, ever so slightly, and then check the turning and grinding mechanism. If it is locked, back off just a tad and then check it again. As I said before, on an empty chamber everything should turn very smoothly. I would, however, be careful not to force anything. I know that I may appear to be rambling but hopefully I will have been of some help. BTW, once mine is set correctly the coffee has a consistency of flour.

Just wondering how coarse this grinder is able to grind? Would I be able to grind coarse enough for espresso with it, or is it strictly for turkish coffee? Thanks!
Best Answer: They demonstrate this grinder on the SCG site while making the coffee. I believe this is adjustable to a degree.

:Â Who makes this grinder and how does it work with the aeropress and mypressi?
Best Answer: We get this grinder from Turkish Coffee World, and since it really is designed for Turkish applications, I would recommend looking at the Hario grinders. They hold a larger capacity and make adjusting for various levels of coarseness and fineness pretty easy, so you can absolutely get good results from an Aeropress or Mypressi. Check out the links below!

How do I adjust the grinder for as fine as powder coffee?
Best Answer: There is a bolt on the bottom of the burrs (where the coffee collects into the bottom chamber) and you can adjust it so that the burrs are closer together (finer) or further apart (coarser). A small adjustment will make a difference since you're grinding so finely anyway.

can I grind beans coarse enough to use in a drip coffee maker?
Best Answer: This Turkish Coffee Grinder is not designed to have the range for both a coarser application like drip as well as Turkish grinding. I would suggest looking at the Hario Skerton if you need a hand grinder for drip, which can be found at the link below:

- the finest grind for the richest coffeeReview by carl

I bought this manual grinder about 4 or 5 months ago and have been very, very happy with it ever since. This device requires some 'elbow grease', how much depends on the quantity and quality of the coffee beans, but it produces the finest grind I have ever seen for the richest, most satisfying coffee I have ever had.Price Quality Value
This Turkish grinder is definitely old school; it doesn't come with directions, but the video on the SCG website explains well enough; anyway, the how-to is obvious and after one or two times you figure out how to hold (brace) the device so the effort is minimal. Doing the grinding in the morning would be a turn-off, so I do it the night before and leave the POWDER in the canister the morning DELIGHT.

Use one looking exactly the same at home in istanbul. key to making good turkish coffee is heating the coffee as slow as possible. (Posted on 1/21/2015)Price Quality Value - Great espresso grinderReview by Michael

I bought this grinder to use with my espresso machine in the trailer. It always works even when we don't have electricity. Dialling in the grind is very easy and it will grind from cowboy coffee to Turkish. It makes great espresso probably because it grinds at a lower speed and temperature. It's better than a cheap electric grinder for someone just starting out in the home espresso world. (Posted on 9/3/2014)Price Quality Value - Excellent Turkish Coffee grinderReview by infinitipearl

Decided I wanted to do the turkish coffee thing. Got a high end cezve from instanbul. Wanted a proper grinder to match. This is the real deal - at first I wasn't getting a good grind (too course), then realized all I had to do was use the included crank to adjust it to Turkish grind. Man does it work well. Now I've got great Turkish coffee. A cevze (ibrik) of copper is extremely important imho, but a grinder is the entire key to a proper turkish brew. Takes a little bit of elbow grease when you grinding this finely (I've read so fine you should be able to put your fingerprint in the grinds), but it's not unwieldy, and you don't need too many beans for a small number of servings. Make sure you don't get the grinder wet, particularly the parts on the inside, and shake out the grinds to keep any buildup of rancid oils. Overall - Highly recommended.
