Grinder terms

Cuir_Beluga

Hey all.

Once I have financially recovered I am thinking about upgrading my grinder. It won't be for a bit yet but I figure it is never too early to ask questions 😛.

Stepped/stepless, dosed/doserless. What does it all mean? I have Googled and found that X grinder is stepped or doserless but what do these terms actually mean?

Thanks, Sue 🙂.

I've watched a couple of their machine videos before. Today was not to be a nap day, I'll have to try later tonight 🙂.

steepless means in theory very finitely adjustable grind which is by far the best outcome as far as im concerned and steeped means pre-ordained 'spacings' which give you less margin for adjustment as they come pre-set doserless is grind on demand and doser means flick a switch to eject the coffee that has just been ground 😉
