TIMEMORE Chestnut C3 Manual Coffee Grinder Capacity 25g with CNC Stainless Steel Conical Burr, Internal Adjustable Setting, Double Bearing Positioning, French Press Coffee for Hand Grinder

After my Porlex grinder's ceramic burrs started to dull (and the handle attachment began to strip completely) I knew it was time for a new coffee grinder. This time I opted for a slight upgrade to what I'd heard was a more consistent and reliable grinder. I can confidently say that this grinder offers an excellent value for the results it provides. Sure there are higher quality grinders available for those seeking to make smaller gains in flavor and consistency but I think this grinder offers that sweet spot of quality, value, and performance. Why? - The grinds are very consistent and it grinds perfectly for pour overs, Aeropress brews, drip, and French press coffee methods. If you are looking for an espresso grinder, opt for Timemore's ESP series for more fine tuned (and finer) grinding offerings. Or at that level you may want to consider a higher end grinder. - This grinder is easy to use and grinds pretty fast in my experience, certainly faster than my old Porlex did. The finer your grind preference the longer and harder you'll have to grind but I've never found it to be a "slow grinder." - Every piece of this grinder is built with quality. It all assembles together perfectly and is durably built of high end materials. It feels good to hold and use. - This grinder is easy to disassemble and clean too. I appreciate that they include a brush to do so. - It looks really nice! Long story short I foresee this being my go to coffee grinder for a long time. I'm really happy with the results I'm getting from it and my coffee cups taste great. I'd recommend it.

Excellent! I had an older TIMEMORE I used for years with no issues. I decided to dedicate that one to my camping gear and get a new one for the house. Couldn't be happier. You can feel the quality as soon as you pick it up. Very solid, and the folding crank is well engineered... satisfying feeling as you turn the crank and it grinds perfectly. The adjustment for fine to coarse offers a a good selection. I've used it for pour over, French press, on in an espresso machine. If you enjoy hand grinding your beans like I do, I'd definitely recommend this model.

I never expected this level of build quality. As a hand grinder, I expected something more “basic,” but that’s not the case. It’s incredibly well-built; everything operates smoothly, and it has great features like the ability to fold the top part. There’s no metallic smell, and it comes with everything you need for cleaning and transportation. I really love it. It’s very easy to use, and I can say it delivers great results in grinding. It seems reliable and quick. You won’t spend more than 1 to 1.5 minutes grinding your coffee (of course, depending on how much you use). This is a grinder that will last.

Get the one with the foldable handle. This coffee grinder is like a fine Swiss Watch that grinds your coffee. It's a fun tactile way to start your day, or bring a nice pick me up in anytime you need it. Once you get your grind set which is easy It's a simple 45 second process and you have freshly ground coffee. Everything about this grinder feels like precision. I really recommend the unit with the foldable handle, it makes keeping a clear countertop much easier. Just get it. It's worth every penny.

Beautiful design, heavy and sturdy. I use it in the morning to grind beans for espresso; I timed myself the first time, and it took a little over a minute. Very easy to use. Quiet, which is great in the morning, especially for those of us sensitive to noises at that hour. Very even, fine grind. Adjusting it was slightly tricky, but once you read the instructions and realize how it works, it's simple. Secure in the hand (even if you don't have large hands), textured outside for a good grip.

I've been very happy with the TIMEMORE C3S Pro so far. The build quality is fantastic—it feels solid, durable, and the stainless steel burrs grind coffee beans quickly and effortlessly. The consistency for my pour-over is excellent, producing very uniform grounds with minimal fines. The foldable handle and compact size make it perfect for my counter and for travel. Grinding Noise is minimal. Easy to clean with a cleaning brush that came with it. I haven't tested its capabilities for espresso yet, so I can't speak to its performance at those finer settings. My only minor complaint is the price; I wish it were a little cheaper for what you get, though the performance does justify it for serious coffee enthusiasts. Overall, a premium and highly effective hand grinder.

This is my first manual coffee grinder. I have a Baratza coffee grinder that I've been using for grinding coffee beans, but it does not go quite as fine as I need for the way I am making coffee right now; so I bought this to grind beans to espresso size. The build is sturdy. And the design is thoughtful. I love that the body is knurled to help your grip as you grind. I love the way the handle folds. The size is perfect, compact but capacious. The weight is nearly ideal. I'm finding that the flavor of my coffee is a little richer, stronger and less bitter than it was before; so I'm really happy with my choice. My only quibble is that the manual does not specify that the handle needs to be on the unit to adjust grind size. It took me a little time to figure this out and it came close to spoiling my honeymoon introduction to an otherwise good piece of kit.
