If you're grinding more coarse for things like AeroPress, filter, or cafetiere, then you may be OK – but if you're considering manually grinding for espresso, keep in mind that a little grinder like this is likely to take upwards of 3-5 minutes to grind enough for a double shot, depending on dose and how fine you need to grind for your machine and the particular bean.

Given my research, I thought I would present this, and several other models for others who may be looking for one.Thomas, A; Filippov, L.O. (1999).

With this grinder, these observations are from use combined with research, as I actually have this hand grinder, this was the first manual coffee grinder I ever bought.

The power predictions for ball mills typically use the following form of the Bond equation: [7] E = 10 W ( 1 P 80 − 1 F 80 ) {\displaystyle E=10W\left({\frac {1}{\sqrt {P_{80}}}}-{\frac {1}{\sqrt {F_{80}}}}\right)\,}
