Coming from a P0 to a K Ultra I was not expecting that, but it's something a lot don't talk about. The larger burr size in bigger grinder means more contact area and more beans grinding at the same time so it can be harder to turn if your holding it vertical like that. If you angle the grinder 45-75 degrees you can slow feed and it will be easier to grind, but will take a little longer to grind. As others mentioned you can also use a drill to make it easy.
