Timemore Chestnut C3S Pro Handgrinder
Coming from pre-ground coffee beans or cheaper ceramic burr handgrinders, this budget grinder is a perfect fit to upgrade your daily coffee experience for moka pot, aeropress, french press and flat bottom brewers. Grinding your specialty coffee beans freshly for each brew is the one biggest impact on taste that will make the most noticeable difference in your cup! Remember, volatile flavor compounds disappear quickly once you grind your coffee and are lost forever. With this basic, but solid manual grinder you will be able to start into improving dramatically your daily cup of coffee and should you outgrow it, it still makes for an awesome travel companion!
Although capable, we don’t recommend this specific model should you consider it for espresso or more complex brewing recipes in a V-shaped dripper. For this, we would advise you to invest in a better grinder, such as the 1zpresso which you can order directly in their online shop (free shipping with DHL express, usually arrives within 3-5 days).
About This Grinder
The Timemore Chestnut C3S Pro is characterized by its precise S2C grinder made of stainless steel. The special thing about the grinder: It only cuts the beans in the first step and only crushes them in the second step. This ensures particularly even grinding results. The grinder offers a variety of grind settings, from espresso to pour over to French press.
In terms of handling, the grinder impresses thanks to its durable aluminum unibody with diamond texture. It also has a practical foldable handle. So it can be easily stowed away in luggage.
In contrast to the Timemore C3 Pro, the C3S Pro has less plastic inside. The plastic was replaced by aluminum, which should ensure better stability. The bean container has a capacity of 20 g and is made entirely of aluminium.
