Are there any that you can twist instead of swinging that giant handle around?

I think the main reason the coffee grinders work better is because they have a handle to give more leverage, which means you can grind a greater quantity more quickly than just doing quarter-turn twists.

They're better in a lot of ways if you could get one that would suit the purpose. I looked for a coffee grinder that would work for pepper a while back and considered taking off the handle and replacing it with some sort of hexagonal nut that would fit over where the handle goes and be large enough to grip and twist. But coffee grinders tend to have other issues for this application like not having a place to store the pepper, since with coffee you put in fresh coffee each time. Do you know of any specific ones that would be good for this?

I don't know of a good one. I just use a hand grinder that I replaced with a better one for my coffee. it looks like this but I don't know if that one would be good or meet your needs.
