  • Manual grinders - how noisy are they?

    How noisy are manual grinders? Are they louder than pepper grinders? I sit next to a very noise sensitive guy in the office, so I dont want to annoy him too much!

    I wouldnt describe them as noisy but they may be distracting. My workmates are used to my Zass Turkish now but there were certainly a few wtf moments when I first started using it.

    If your workmate is a bit anal sensitive then he might at least appreciate the aroma. Offer him a cuppa. If not, grind elsewhere.

      Noisy pepper grinder sound depending on how fast you turn the handle and on the beans you are grinding.

      Speed wise it takes as long to grind a load as to boil the kettle (under 2 minutes) so the easy thing to do is grind in the kitchen if you have one.

        Or you could go into a bathroom cubicle and do it.

            Buy him some headphones.... With a built in taser

            If he is required to be on teh phone and talking etc I can understand it..


            But at work, some even complained about one guy and his hand grinder :

            But every one had to put up with their BO and Farts... Which they thought was funny >

              Not a silly question. At 5.45am each morning I grind for the aeropress in the lounge as I would more than likely wake someone if done in the kitchen. But the work place :-/

                take in any electric grinder you have for a few days

                roll up with the manual one and say, sorry about the noise i thought this would be better........
