Timemore Chestnut C3 ESPresso Manual Coffee Grinder

Full Product Description

Overview

The Timemore Chestnut C3 ESPresso is an all‑purpose manual grinder designed to deliver espresso‑capable precision at an accessible price point. Replacing the category‑leading C2S, the C3 ESP expands its grind range to 60 micro‑stepped settings, making it suitable for espresso, moka pot, AeroPress, pour over, and French press.

Built with Timemore’s patented 38mm Spike‑to‑Cut (S2C) burrs and a full metal unibody, the C3 ESP offers improved consistency, stability, and durability while retaining the compact footprint that made the C2S a top seller.

Design & Build Quality

• Full Metal Unibody: Aluminium alloy construction for durability and long‑term stability.
• Anti‑Slip Silicone Base: Provides secure footing during grinding.
• Compact Form: Measures 14.7cm in height and 5.2cm in diameter, with an increased bean capacity of 25g.
• Smooth Operation: Dual ball bearings ensure controlled, effortless grinding.

Grinding Performance

The C3 ESP uses Timemore’s patented 38mm S2C conical burrs, CNC‑laser cut from hardened SUS303 stainless steel. These burrs are remodelled from the flagship Chestnut X, offering improved clarity and consistency across all brewing methods.

• Espresso Capable: 60 micro‑stepped settings (30 clicks per rotation), each click adjusting by 23.3 microns for precise espresso dial‑in.
• Consistency: Dual‑bearing fixed architecture stabilises the shaft for uniform particle size.
• Capacity Upgrade: Reengineered interior increases bean capacity from 20g to 25g without increasing external size.
• Quiet Operation: Controlled grinding with minimal noise.

What It’s Good For

• Espresso: Micro‑stepped adjustment suitable for fine tuning.
• Moka Pot / AeroPress: Reliable medium‑fine settings.
