TIMEMORE Chestnut C2 Manual Coffee Grinder Capacity 25g with CNC Stainless Steel Conical Burr - Internal Adjustable Setting,Double Bearing Positioning,French Press Coffee for Hand Grinder Gift

Product Information

In the manual, Timemore claims that it also has espresso settings, and while it technically can work, I wouldn’t use it for that. The range is quite narrow, so you’ll encounter problems when trying to dial in shots. Also, the burr’s geometry means that it doesn’t have much traction in the particular range, so it takes forever to grind a typical espresso dose. In all, the C2 is a great starter grinder for coffee lovers whose favorite brewing methods don’t use finer grinds.

You only brew espresso: Though versatile, the C3 is definitely designed primarily for pour over brews. If you mostly find yourself pulling shots of espresso, opting for a grinder designed with that in mind makes sense. Two of our favourites are the 1Zpresso J-Max and the Kinu M47. Moka pot dabblers may not know the difference, but if you’re buying a hand grinder as part of your quest to make a doppio better than the gods’ nectar and ambrosia, well, you may be better off with another brand.As for grind settings, the adjustment knob is easy to turn, too. And when you’re done, this hand grinder is easy to clean and small enough to store anywhere. Released following the original Chestnut C2, theC2 Max boasts all interior stainless steel parts, including the grind adjustment wheel – as well as an increased capacity of 30-35g due to its larger body. Ideal for bigger brew methods and faster grinding through larger doses. The burrs remain the same sharp 38mm conical burrs. Timemore C2 Hand Grinder w/ Titanium-coated Buurs You’re on a tight budget: Compared to more expensive brands like Comandante and Orphan, Timemore grinders are relatively affordable. But you can find cheaper options if you’re trying to create the ultimate budget brewing set-up.

Look, the Timemore Chestnut C2 is hardly a bad little hand grinder, but it leaves a little to be desired in terms of grind quality compared to some of the bigger name manual grinders.
