You can find hand-cranked grinders at Amazon.

Check out Zassenhaus grinders. They are more expensive($77), but they are very good. My friend has one that he has used for 5 years now and it still produces a very consistent grind. I’m saving up to buy one of my own. I recommend the knee grinder, because it is easier to hold while grinding.

German efficiency.
