Precision Grinding for Your Favorite Brew

The TIMEMORE Chestnut C3 ESP Manual Coffee Grinder is a compact, all-metal companion built for espresso lovers and adventurers alike. Its design centers on a precise grind experience, combining a stainless steel conical burr with a finely tuned adjustment system to help you dial in your preferred extraction. Expect a satisfying tactile feel as you rotate the handle and explore your coffee’s texture, from a silky espresso grind to a robust French press setting.

What makes it special

At the heart are patented S2C660 stainless steel burrs that deliver high-precision grinding with minimal heat buildup during use. Each click of the adjustment wheel changes coarseness by 0.0233 mm, enabling careful transitions across a spectrum from fine to coarse. This level of control supports a wide range of brewing styles without sacrificing consistency.

• All-metal one-piece body for durability and a premium feel
• 38 mm CNC-machined stainless steel conical burrs for stable, repeatable results
• Double bearing central axis for smooth, steady grinding motion
• 52 mm exterior width keeps the grinder compact yet comfortable to hold
• Folding handle design supports on-the-go use and easy storage

Ease of use and control

The engineering emphasizes a fluid motion: as you turn the handle, the bearing system helps the wheel stay smoothly in motion even after you release your grip. The compact, nearly square silhouette fits comfortably in smaller hands, making it approachable for both beginners and seasoned coffee lovers.

• Approximately 36 grind levels with ESP-optimized pitch for finer control
• Clockwise for finer textures, counter-clockwise for coarser textures
• Broad coverage from espresso to French press and beyond

Cleaning, care, and portability

A quick disassembly and brushing is enough for routine maintenance, and the folding handle folds neatly for travel or storage. The sturdy all-metal construction is designed to endure daily use, whether you’re at home, in the office, or exploring new places.

Real-world use and possibilities

In daily life, this grinder invites experimentation and a closer relationship with your coffee. It offers a tactile, satisfying grinding experience and a form factor that travels well, so you can explore different beans and methods without compromising on control. While results depend on your setup and beans, the C3 ESP provides a practical pathway to varied profiles, from concentrated espresso shots to full-bodied plunger brews.
