Fineness settings View more details.

The number of incremental grind settings available. Some experimentation may be required to find the best settings for your machine. A grind that's too coarse will have poor flavour and crema, and if it's too fine, it can block the filter. A "stepless" machine will have infinite adjustments between grind settings for even more control, but these may be more difficult to keep track of. Some multi-purpose grinders don't have this feature.

Not applicable
