So I am curious as to whether anyone here uses a hand grinder for their coffee (dare I ask about them for espresso? :) )?
I am particularly interested to see if anyone has tried the Kyocera Ceramic Conical Burr hand grinder (I have only seen it from Orphan so far, and do not know anything about that company). The write up on it is interesting, but I am wondering how much may just be hype.

Here is a link for anyone interested

There is also a video of it in use

Most Zassenhaus owners get poetic about their mills. They seem to like the exercise and protection from power outages. Certain Zass styles are espresso capable.
