I bought a hand cranked coffee grinder several years ago. After a while I got a little annoyed by the work it took to grind some coffee, so I made an adapter for my cordless drill. This made grinding coffee a lot easier when I needed a quick cup of coffee.

Interesting. I also got my first hand grinder like a year ago (Hario) and I need about as long as the water in the kettle boils, so about a minute for my one cup. I thought it might annoy me, but so far it didn't.
Hey, don't tempt me into buying a cordless drill! (I really like that approach of extending the utility of that device, but I think I can resist)
There's nothing like the face of your friends when you pull out your Makita drill, connect it to the top of your vintage style coffee grinder and start grinding at 200rpm. This alone is worth purchasing a cordless drill (the bigger the better).
