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.
Yes
I have a special drill at work that is just for grinding coffee
At home I my grinder was half the price of my espresso machine.
I tried this with exactly this bur grinder and it melted the plastic washer in the assembly
Granted, I was using it for flax seed instead of coffee (it was my spouse's idea), but be careful with that drill my friend
Did the same thing for a while lol, just had to keep the drill going as slow as possible.
I have a breville smart grinder pro. It's fine, but I'd love to upgrade
I have one of these too. I concur it does a fine job.
Jokes aside the only negativity I've heard about these is they are not fine turnable enough at the lowest end of the scale.
I find I can get an excellent shot with good crema from most beans, but there are still a lot I feel I could go finer on to get a better result. Or just the beans suck.
I've got a cheap blender. It does the job pretty well, surprisingly. Though I never make a lot of coffee at once
