manual grinder

Crank-operated coffee pulverizer

A manual grinder is a grinding device powered by hand rather than electricity, typically with a crank or handle.

Coffee grinders and pepper mills are common examples.

Manual grinders offer more control and portability than electric versions: I prefer my manual grinder for traveling.

The term also applies to hand-cranked meat grinders and spice mills.
