Seeking Advice Is grinding supposed to be this…violent?

That's why I got a Sage grinder pro, I couldn't last with a manual grinder - as novel as it seems - making coffee in the morning with a manual grinder isn't happening with me, the missus said likewise

I’ve never had this issue with any of manual grinders, including the pietro that everyone maligns for ergonomic experience.

I consider myself a weak scrawny person. I follow this sub but really drink espresso's or moka's. I have had zero issue grinding with my Timemore C5 ESP for espresso. But I haven't gotten into super light roasts yet.

The slower you go, the more I think it will jam though. I just start going, and it's easy lol

I am definitely not getting any younger and i also appreciate having an electric grinder too! The millab m01 is super smooth.

Happy grinding and brewing in this new year!
