For general use around the home and bar....

Crank one direction for coarse, the other for fine.

The coarse is about like what you would get out of the door of your 'fridge.

The fine is just about perfect for Mai Tai's and related drinks.

I can run several pounds of ice through this in short order, I once challenged my Snowflake machine and beat it by almost double in a 10 pound race.

Still not what you want to do for a party of more than five or six people, but for general use this machine is awesome and comes in several colors if you look hard enough.

Word of caution for you.... do not try and crush your ice and then put it back in the freezer. Not with this kind of grinder at least. The ice comes out very wet and if you go back into the freezer you wind up with a nice solid chuck of chipped ice. Grind what you need as you need it. Trust me.
