I just retrofitted my basic hand crank mill with a 10mm nut, and drove it with a drill. It’s so much faster now, but I do wonder if there’s actual properly motorized versions of what I just did.

    The Hario burr grinder in the OP is not on the same level. The one I had was about $40, and was so slow to grind that the drill was a gigantic upgrade. It cost me $.50 in parts to use with a drill I already had, which was great for college me. Cost was the deciding factor.

      And yet the Skerton is still a terrible grinder. Not much better than a blade grinder. Too much boulders and dust. Grind uniformity is just plain bad.

        I agree. Glad I got rid of it.
