How a grinding appliance lets the user control the COARSENESS of its output by a control on the appliance (as opposed to speed_control, which selects motor rpm): not adjustable (a single fixed grade, a blade grinder where fineness is governed only by run time, or a grinder whose coarseness is changed solely by swapping a cutting plate rather than by any on-appliance control), a stepped setting (a finite number of detented grind grades, e.g. a 16- or 40-step burr dial), or a stepless dial (continuously variable coarseness). A token category recurring across coffee grinders and spice mills (L11); growing (L13). Note: a meat grinder, whose mince texture is set by which cutting plate is fitted, answers 'not adjustable' here and carries its real coarseness variability in cutting_plate_set — the parts-swap is a different kind of question from an on-appliance control.

Answers the question: grind adjustment.
