Perhaps we are not talking about the same Zassenhaus model. Mine is a Zassenhaus 156.
I have already put a mark on the <knob |adjustable nut>, And I have put a few marks on the metal top-cover of the grinder. By lining the knob-mark up with one of the marks on the cover, I can get:
- either an espresso grind or a coarser vacuum pot grind; and
- see if the nut moves during the grind.
In my view, the absence of an embossed scale on the top-cover is a design defect (easily remedied).
The Zassenhaus 158 - designed specifically for making espresso-grinds - looks quite different and may need a different approach.
When I bought Zassenhaus 156, I thought that the presence of a "ceramic powder chute" and the ability to hold it between the knees gave the Zassenhaus 156 the edge over the 158 model.
I would welcome comments from users, who have experience with both designs.
Felix
