The number that decides the question is 15, the count of grind settings the listing gives this electric conical burr grinder. It adds 43 micro adjustments, uses 40mm stainless steel burrs, and holds up to 12 ounces of beans in the hopper.

The 15 settings are the figure to weigh, and the listing frames them by use: fine for espresso, coarse for French press and cold brew. The 43 micro adjustments are described as additional fine tuning on top of those steps. The listing does not state what grind size in microns any step produces, so the labels are a guide to the range and not a measurement.

The grinding parts are 40mm conical burrs in stainless steel. The listing says they produce uniform grounds for even extraction. That is a stated aim, and no particle size data or test result is given with it. The grinder is electric, with a one touch start that remembers the last setting, so a repeat grind needs a single push.

The removable hopper holds up to 12 ounces of beans, and a UV blocking tint is meant to shield them in a sunny kitchen. The listing does not state motor power, grind speed, noise level, weight or dimensions. Capacity of the grounds container is also not given. The finish is matte black.
