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.

    I have one of these too. Actually, I have two, I picked one up second hand for decaff.
    First world opulence for fifty quid!

    Interestingly, the second hand one goes a LOT finer than the new one.
    I normally grind between 2 and 6 depending on the bean with the first, but the second one if I take it under 8, it happily chokes the machine.

    So I wonder if there is mileage in adjusting the burrs inside (which Sage are keen to tell you not to do!)

      interesting

      Having a second modified machine is a good measure.

      I have no issues with mine getting choked up so it tells me I probably have more room to move on it.
