May I suggest a mortar and pestle, then you don't have build up of contaminants in the burr, and blending of particulate from past grinds
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
