TIMEMORE Chestnut C3S PRO Manual Coffee Grinder, Stainless Steel S2C Conical Burr Coffee Grinder, Hand Coffee Grinder with Foldable Handle, Adjustable Grind Setting for Espresso to French Press, Black

I love this grinder. Cuts through robusta beautifully and quickly. I'm super glad I got the pro model because I love being able to fold the crank. It's compact yet sturdy, the texturing is awesome and I am a fan of the textured rubber bottom. It comes with a carry bag and a cleaning brush which is much appreciated. I typically grind 15-20g of coffee and I am done grinding in under a minute. If you want to grind more than 25g, buy the Max model. I don't grind that much so I am more than happy with my purchase. I strongly recommend this product.

I upgraded to the TIMEMORE Chestnut C3S PRO from one of the lighter-weight stainless steel type hand grinders because the grind was uneven and the wrench-style handle was always slipping off when I was trying to grind and hitting me. Although I could have purchased an electric model for the same price, I really enjoy the experience and ritual of grinding my own beans for morning pour over coffee dripped in a Chemex. Gets the body moving and uses natural energy! This unit is impressive. It's built like a tank with the precision of a Nikon lens! It feels like you are assembling high end camera equipment as you screw on the threaded aluminum alloy base. The handle sits solidly on top so it will not slip off. The foldable handle works smoothly though I don't have much use for that in the home kitchen. The textured base makes it easy to grip and feels like a the zoom on a camera lens. Beans grind very quickly and smoothly. It works better for me when hand held in the air rather than resting it on a surface. The grind quality is excellent...consistent in size with very detailed increments available on the dial. Although the instructions recommend using 13-16 clicks to get pour over grind, I found that was too fine and clogged up the Chemex. I have settled at 21 which drips well and delivers good results for my beans. The finer settings for espresso result in extremely smooth and even grinds. I read reviews of previous models which were generally positive but I was scared away by the numerous reports and photos of the composite plastic top cracking (the only plastic part in those models). The manufacturer took that feedback and now uses aluminum alloy for the top on this new model. So the entire unit is made of some form of alloy or steel. No plastic anywhere. This thing is built to survive World War III. The one negative and it's not a big one which is the trade off that comes with being built "like a tank" is it is heavy. Weighs about a pound. This does not impeded using it, in fact it might help keep it stable. But it feels a bit excessive especially in how thick the body walls are. For those who want to take it on the go, it will add weight to your load. If you are committed to hand grinding and appreciate a finely instrumented and constructed tool and have a bit of cash to spare, I highly recommend this grinder.

Excelente ítem to prepare coffe

Other than a few parts of the handle (knob & bumper) this grinder is all metal. I grind for 1 cup of French press in the morning. It is pretty easy for me to turn the grinder and it takes less than 1 minute. I have it set to 10 clicks right now The instructions say to turn the grind adjustment clockwise until it stops and then count the clicks counterclockwise - it's pretty straightforward. Once you have it set I think it is easy to tweak it depending on how your coffee turns out. The grounds look much more consistent than my blade grinder and the coffee tastes much better. I use a brush to clean it after use. I like that the handle folds to it takes up less space in the cupboard. I read on Reddit that you don't have to do a deep cleaning (i.e., take it apart) so I'm avoiding it unless absolutely necessary. Very happy with it.

Práctico y eficiente.

Yes! This is definitely worth it and a cut above the rest of the manual burr grinders I’ve tried

Grinds well, but the coating generates a lot of static electricity. As a result, the ground will stick to the base cup or fly outside the filter all over the counter.

From the minute you open the box you realize this grinder is well engineered, well built and will probably last forever. I get all the hype surrounding it, but for a third the price you can get many grinders that are almost as good - at least for occasional use and where you don't need to change settings often. Since I was merely looking for a good travel grinder I went the cheaper route and I hate to call them clones, but they are certainly very similar. If I was grinding coffee every day I would absolutely recommend this grinder. I think it holds up in grind quality and grind settings to any of the more costly youtube hyped manual grinders out there. If you can get this one on a good amazon deal it is a no-brainer, but I just don't need almost perfect. I'm fine with almost, almost perfect for my occasional travel needs.

Excelente molino para cafe muy facil de usar y muele el grano de diferentes tamaños para preparar cafe con diferentes métodos de filtrado o expreso

Excelente producto Es el primer molino que tengo, y me fui a la segura con este por la reputación de la marca, tiene una buen rango de molienda para diferentes métodos (yo lo uso en prensa francesa) Y si bien tiene un rango para espresso al final a mi no me funcionó para eso. Si buscas algo para espresso esta la versión ESP, que tiene mejor precisión O el c5 A pesar de eso es un gran producto para empezar

Excelente molino, buena calidad.

Lo conseguí para acompañar una nueva cafetera de espresso marca Breville y funciona muy bien. El tamaño es cómodo para moler y para vertir sobre el filtro de la cafetera. La fineza del molido es más que suficiente para mi cafetera y el café que utilizo. Como referencia, el instructivo sugiere que el rango de molido para espresso es de 1-8 clicks (entre más clicks, más grueso el molido), pero he encontrado que funciona de manera óptima con 10-11 dependiendo del café en específico, así que hay amplio espacio para molerlo más fino de ser necesario.

Excelente molino
