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.

Wnh not just buy an electric grinder at this point? People use hand grinders because they enjoy the process.

Good electric burr grinders are very expensive.

Not really. A Baratza Encore can be had for just over $100 and is perfectly fine for 99% of the coffee population that isn't doing espresso.

Yeah, my partner bought me one for my birthday and it works great for my different coffee needs. My only gripe is that it's loud as hell.

When I was choosing between entry level electric grinders, I was down to the Baratza Encore ESP and the Fellow Opus. One of the main reasons I chose the Opus is because it was so much quieter than the Encore.
