    Try grinding 60ml of flax, sesame, cumin, black cumin, and fenugreek in a mortar /pestle. It’s too much work. I’m a tool using primate, and I like powertools. For 5ml, even 20ml hand power is fine. The Chinese developed a thing called a “Brass Boat” for grinding up larger quantities, “manually”, actually by foot/ leg power. Alas, I can’t seem to find an image for ya.

      I have several mortar and pestles and I find them very easy, you don’t need to be condescending, I kind of stopped reading your comment after the bitchy start.

        Not meaning to be condescending, that’s what I grind every morning for my breakfast. I’ve tried hand grinders, and have a mortar & pestle, but they don’t work for me in that use case. shrug
