Would this be good for making eggshell calcium powder? My coffee grinder gets it to a gritty powder, but I need it to be very fine.

Thank you for your inquiry. I think this product will work for you but it might take a little bit of time to get it to the consistency you would like. Thank you

I would absolutely...of course it takes elbow grease, but the quality would be excellent in comparison.

I don't think so from scratch. You might want to transfer from coffee grinder to a marble mortar and see if it would indeed become powder soft. Hope this helps.

It will grind coarse if you don't grind too long.. Not sure why the other reviewer said no. It even says so in the instructions.

Do not tamp it down too hard and as long as your hear a 'chugging' noise, it is working. Check your grind, too. It may be too fine. Espresso grind is too fine, use a slightly coarser grind. Also, get a burr grinder. Blade grinders make too much fine powder and will clog the filter. Cool?

The BCG450XL Conical Burr Grinder is designed for use as a coffee grinder only. It is not designed to handle items such as egg shells.

Hello, I used this grinder for coffee beans, Green Cardamom, and other stuff, it works fine, i am happy with this product, i went through 2 different brands but since I found this one I am pleased with it, I recommend this grinder. I hope i was able to help you.

No, It is not truly a powder as I define it. It is better described as a fine grind. If you don't mind the consistency it would do well in your drink.

I don't think it has the capabilities to grind things into powders. I am almost 100% certain it cannot. I primarily use it for my dogs food and it can barely grind chicken bones which it is supposed to be able to do.

I have been using this grinder for several months - I will grind as finely as you wish. It runs and has an automatic "off". If you want it more fine - run it longer. Whether the fine setting is correct or not is a matter of preference. It will grind very fine. I hope this helps.

Hi--- You have to be careful and know what you want to use it for. If you plan on brewing it or otherwise using it in a conventional coffeemaker, make sure it says 'granules' or 'drip-grind' or something similar, indicating that it is uniformly ground-up like regular coffee would be. I got a couple of bags from other companies, but they were little rough chunks of roasted chicory root, which are definitely difficult to grind-down. So, it was smart of you to inquire. Good-luck, John

Tyler, thanks for the question. If you want your herbs ground to a 'powder' you are probably better off buying an electric spice/coffee grinder with a very fast spinning blade.

I only use mine for French press grinding ( big chunks) but the grinder is easily adjustable by using the nut/screw underneath the handle. Mine grinds very consistently; I don't see why it wouldn't do a fine grind.

It says in the instructions that you should only grind coffee with it, but I haven't tried anything else. Honestly, I can't think of a good reason why that wouldn't work. It is very small, though, so if capacity is what you're looking for it may not help anyway. It holds around 4 scoops- maybe a little more- of whole coffee beans in the hopper. Sorry, I couldn't be more help!

No matter which coarseness you select with the switch, you will get a certain amount of finely powdered coffee. I've never tried it, but I wouldn't doubt if the grind could be adjusted so the entire grind is super fine. The resulting coffee would have to be used in a machine with a different filter system though, because the mesh screen in the SoloFill cups would allow too much to pass through and you'd end up with a lot of sediment in your coffee.

Not sure of your "super coarse" concept, but in my opinion, the coarsest grind is too big for table use . . . good luck!

Yes, grinds very well. Grinds egg shells to fragments, I estimate them to be approx. 5mms.

Yes indeed, this will crack the hull of the grains. The grind can be adjusted. Although maybe not to powder or fine enough for coffee - depends how fine / course you need...

It is a fine grind, like coffee. I brewed it in a small auto drip coffee maker (cone filter) but found it very week even when made with an enormous quantity. Perhaps it might be better in a french press...I do not know, since I gave up on it!
