I've always used a cheap coffee grinder for my Moka. It created very uneven grounds but it's what I had. It finally stopped working so a relative gifted me this MAVO manual grinder.
It's the first experience I've had with a bur grinder and the grounds it produces are very uniform.
I'm still dialing the grind setting for my liking but I'm enjoying the process. I'll also need to pick up a few different roasts to experiment with.

I have the same Moka pot but with the 1Zpresso JX Pro hand grinder, works great at 20 ticks setting. Just takes some time and akward effort. After a few years I bought a electric grinder and it takes just a few seconds and no awkwardness. Hand grinders are fine for brew / pour over / french press I think because it takes not much effort and time to grind. For espresso you will almost start to sweat. For turkish it is a aerorobics pass
The KinGrinder ones have a hexagonal bolt where you put the handle on... or your cordless screwdriver with a bit holder. Really like that feature.
I started with a (I think) Javapresse knock-off and the pentagonal shaft head was a wtf.
Ok my hand grinder has the same
Already tried it?
it is not as nice as it seems. Those tools are often dirty, perhaps oily, heavy, needs charging etc. You probably need a 24V machine to rotate the hand grinder for espresso and you still need to fixate the hand grinder, very messy and akward experience
