How is the grinder adjusted in order to make the grinds finer?

• A. Raise the hopper
• B. Turn dial clockwise
• C. Pull adjuster closer
• D. Push adjuster away

Answer: (D)

Grind size comes from how close the burrs are to each other. A finer grind means a smaller gap between the burrs, which crushes the coffee into smaller pieces as it passes through.

In this grinder, the fineness is controlled by moving an adjustable collar. Pushing the adjuster away tightens the burr gap, producing finer grounds. Raising the hopper doesn’t change the burr spacing, so it won’t alter grind size. Turning the dial clockwise isn’t the action used here to adjust fineness, and pulling the adjuster closer would loosen the gap and yield a coarser grind.
