Low-end coffee hand grinders have gotten a whole lot better in the last 15 years or so.
Many years ago I bought what was a widely recommended coffee hand grinder made by Hario. It had a ceramic mill. It's frustratingly slow and tedious.
Got a Timemore like two years ago, which has a stainless steel mill and they added some teeth into the mill design, which does sort of a rough shredding of the beans before they go into the lower fine milling, which makes this super fast and quite low effort. Takes less than a minute per cup. It's also prettier and just better designed in every way when compared with the Hario. According to reviews the resulting grain consistency is pretty good and it can go quite fine, fine enough for espresso even, though I wouldn't know anything about that.
The home coffee game really has massively evolved in recent years. For a long time a Rancilio Rocky and Silvia were your way to producing a sort of crappy home espresso. Now there's too many options to name, and the affordability floor keeps coming down with higher and higher quality products. The Legato / Apex has a feature set rivaling machines three times the cost.
Got a 1Zpresso that I use for everything from espresso to French press. Perfect grind at any fineness
