grind adjustment
How the appliance lets the user control the coarseness of its ground output by a control on the appliance — a token from GrindAdjustmentModes (not adjustable / stepped / stepless). Required: every grinding appliance answers it (a blade coffee grinder, and a meat grinder whose coarseness is set only by swapping the fitted plate, both take 'not adjustable' — the absence of an on-appliance coarseness control is itself the answer). Homes on GrindingAppliance: answerable for coffee grinders, meat grinders and spice mills alike, but not for food-prep appliances generally (a blender or mixer has no settable output coarseness — fineness there is a function of run time), so by L5 it does not lift to FoodPreparationAppliance. Distinct from speed_control, which selects motor rpm: a burr grinder runs one motor speed yet offers many grind grades. Distinct, too, from a meat grinder's cutting_plate_set, which is a parts-swap (which die is fitted), not an on-appliance control.
Grind adjustment is answered with one word chosen from the grind adjustment modes list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
It belongs to measurement — its measurable, physical facts.
