The deciding number here is 40 mm, the size of the stainless steel conical burrs. The listing pairs them with 15 grind settings, 43 micro adjustments and a 12 ounce hopper. Those are the figures worth reading before anything else.
The burrs are 40 mm conical stainless steel. The listing says they produce uniform grounds for even extraction. Uniformity is a claim about the result, and the listing gives no measurement of particle size distribution, so treat it as the maker’s description rather than a tested figure. What the specification does establish is the burr size, the material and the conical shape.
Adjustment is where the numbers are most concrete. There are 15 grind settings, plus 43 micro adjustments, and the listing places them between fine for espresso and coarse for French press and cold brew. It does not state how the 43 micro adjustments are divided across the 15 settings, nor the motor power, the grind speed or the noise level. The grinder remembers your last setting, so a push starts grinding without resetting anything.
The removable hopper holds up to 12 ounces of beans, and it carries a UV blocking tint meant for sunny kitchens. The listing does not say what the hopper is made of, how much ground coffee the unit holds, or whether there is a timer. Besides the silver finish described here, a Storm Blue version is also sold.
