It has various settings but I just use it manually. I press a button and it grinds for about 5 seconds. I have to that about 5 times to get through the full scoop. I can see when all the beans have been done but I usually just listen. I can hear when the last of the beans have gone through.
I can rotate the feeder round a scale. I use it at the coarsest setting. I tried a finer grind but prefer the flavour when coarsely ground.
Yes. The beans are fed in from above and go through a pair of concentric slotted metal grinders. The ground coffee falls through and down into the container below.
THIS is the grinder.
Ha - I have just read this in the blurb...
- [๐๐ก๐ง๐-๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ข๐๐๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ] This coffee bean grinder uses anti-static technology to minimize static cling of coffee grounds. The anti-static powder container makes less cup wall residue and clean countertop.
It ain't quite anti-static enough!
