This coffee grinder ground coffee the same consistency despite the setting. It didn't work for a french press as it was not coarse enough.
This grinder is smallish, quiet, and grinds evenly. In addition, it is also very messy - grounds get all over the place around the grinder while it is working, worse than other grinders I've used. for a while. After about a year (during which it has been cleaned regularly), it stopped taking beans into the grind mechanism - resulting in an uneven amount of ground coffee. Very frustrating. definitely not worth the price.
I had to return it. It does not grind well (as in coarse) enough for french press, makes a lot of dust instead. Receptacle container is made of cheap plastic that causes coffee grounds and dust cling to it.If you're looking for a garden variety grinder for medium fineness (for drip), $15 blade-type models would do the job for a fraction of price.
I bought this item about 18 months ago. After about a year of use, the grind selection failed, and it always produces a rather coarse grind. Then more recently the timer has stopped working, so I count to fifteen and turn it off by hand. This was a very inexpensive burr grinder, and while surely I was unlucky, it was too good to be true.
The Krups unit purchased through Amazon.com turns out to be one of the best units available under one hundred dollars. I have been using a blade grinder for over twenty years, and was very satisfied with the results. We certainly are pleased. Recently, I purchased a burr grinder that actually grinds the beans-a blade machine does not grind. My wife and I now understand why beans that are ground make much better tasting coffee. I invite you to go to the internet and research this topic, and then purchase a grinder from Amazon-you definately will not be disappointed. JW RIGGS
