My wife's coffee

My wife makes coffee every morning. She frequently asks me to mill coffee beans. There is a hand powered coffee grinder in my house. It takes a little time to complete milling (The milling takes a while.) However I don’t feel so long  it doesn't feel like a long time to me, because I like the touch of stirring the grinder’s handle  (I like the feel of turning the grinder's handle) and the sound that (the) milled beans make. After I hand (the) milled beans out (After I have given the milled beans) to my wife, she sets them on the paper filter and pours down hot water, of which (whose) temperature is controlled. After a while, she gives me (the) coffee. It always tastes good. Drinking coffee made by her is one of my pleasure times on my daily life (one of the pleasurable moments in my daily life).

This would be correct and very good. However, something like this would be even more idiomatic.

My wife makes coffee every morning. She often asks me to mill the beans. We have a hand-powered coffee-grinder at home. The milling takes a while, but it doesn't feel like a long time to me because I like the feel of turning the grinder's handle and the sound of the milled beans. When I have given the beans to my wife she puts them on the paper filter and pours hot water of a controlled temperature on them. Then she gives me the coffee. It always tastes good. Drinking her coffee is one of the most enjoyable parts of my day.

This is very well-written, so I'm mostly going to make suggestions about how to make it more natural.

My Wife's Coffee

My wife makes coffee every morning, and she frequently asks me to mill the coffee beans(1). In my house, we have a hand-powered coffee grinder; it takes a little time to complete milling. It doesn't feel long to me, though, because I like the feel of stirring the grinder’s handle, and the sound that milled beans make(2). After I hand the grounds(3) to my wife, she sets them on a paper filter and pours down precisely heated water over them. After a while, she gives me coffee. It always tastes good. Drinking coffee made by her is one of the pleasure times of my daily life.

(1) We try to avoid repeating words in English as a general style rule, so I think you could also say "asks me to mill the beans," but it may be unclear at first that you are talking about coffee beans, so I'm not sure!

(2) Do you like the sound the beans make while being milled, or do you like the sound they make after they are milled? If you mean you like the sound they make while being milled, you would want to say "and the sound that beans make while being milled".

(3) Again, in English, we try to avoid repeating words unnecessarily.

You really did a wonderful job with this! Great work.
