Grinding by hand also gives you a feel for the beans that no electric grinder can. You notice when a bean is harder or softer, when it crumbles vs when it snaps, and you can adjust on the fly without losing a whole dose. That feedback loop teaches you way more about your coffee than just pressing a button ever will. Speed isn't always the win, sometimes the slow way makes you pay more attention.
