@ Danzel - I'd been looking at tampers - I'd need a 50mm one. I hear the jury's out on the necessity of a tamp in a stovetop, so I'm going to wait before diving in.
@ Ant - I like it. It was easy - I'd guess it's about 1 minute of grinding per shot/scoop of beans (holding the grinder between my knees or in one hand while the other turned the handle). First grind was pretty fine, but worked okay. I've just prepared another using the Formula Rossa, and made it half a turn coarser. Worked fine too. Will try a little coarser tomorrow, and continue experimenting.
Now I've got to try and prepare a PowerPoint presentation for a job interview on Friday, when the chances of them offering it as a jobshare (the only way I can accept) are extremely thin. I'm just going to try and have fun being creative with it, seeing as I won't be sleeping for a bit :D
I just stuck it between my knees and got on with it.
