Last Updated: 2026/04/11, In order to make friends better use the hand grinder, especially many friends who use the hand grinder are not clear about how to adjust the grinding fineness, Dou Shu took a set of diagrams to adjust the grinding degree of the hand grinder. Although there are many brands and various forms of hand mill, but the operation of adjusting fineness is basically like this.

Use steps

First, unscrew the metal nut above the hand grinder.

2. Remove the handle from the hand grinder

Third, remove the fixed metal card above the hand mill fineness adjusting screw

Fourth, the left hand tightens the fixed column in the middle of the hand grinder so that it cannot be rotated left and right. If the right hand rotates the thickness adjustment nut, the degree of grinding will become thinner if it rotates downward, and thicker if it rotates upward. In this process, you should put on the rotating handle from time to time, and take some coffee beans for grinding and observe whether the thickness meets the needs.

5. Reinstall the handle and tighten the nut above.

In this way, we have completed the operation. This is the end of the manual for the use of the hand grinder. Friends who use the hand mill can also follow this method according to different coffee utensils.
