TIMEMORE Manual Coffee Grinder Chestnut C3 ESP Pro, All-Metal Coffee Grinder, Folding Handle, Stainless Steel S2C Conical Burr, Adjustable Grind Setting -Green

I'd been using a blade coffee grinder for a while and wondered what the big deal about freshly ground coffee was - didn't seem to taste any better, even when grinding small quantities using a pulse process to avoid overheating or burning the beans. I decided on the Timemore C2 Fold after quite a bit of research. The difference is amazing! My coffee tastes as it should, and I can appreciate the quality of the roast and the nuanced flavour notes in the bean. The product is very easy to use. Took me a while to get the hang of it because of the way the instruction manual is set out, but there are some excellent reviews here which detail how to set up and use the product. I find that 2 tablespoons of beans (I use the measure that came with my cafetiere) is enough for one mug (around 250ml of water) and take about 30 seconds to grind. I like to savour my freshly ground coffee on leisurely mornings off, and this product is an excellent addition to that ritual. It's space saving, sleek, very easy to use and clean, and excellent value for money. If, like me, you think that good coffee is one of life's small pleasures, then this product is a must. I'll add that I bought this product and have not been asked to provide a review.

For the price I paid it's a very good hand grinder.

This is my first coffee grinder, and I thought I'd try this based on reviews. I use a French press, and so wanted coarse ground coffee. It takes 22-24 revolutions to grind for a single cup, and does a good job of grinding. I am satisfied with my purchase.

A small hand held coffee bean grinder akin to excellence !!! Our ritual of “coffee?” “”Yes please!” Every morning has been heightened by the aroma of freshly …might I say , expertly, ground coffee beans. Oh the smugness in our house now !!! Organic beans ! Freshly ground! Raw milk. Touch of cream ! It’s a taste of heaven. Sadly we never go out for coffee anymore as we look at a cafe and think “nahhhh …. I can make better at home !!” We have finally turned into old people content in our habits. Highly recommend the grinder if you’re willing to leave your rock and roll years behind ! Sex and drugs optional !

Pros: Comparing with my old hand grinder, the grind consistency is way better. Much fewer unwanted fines so my filter paper didn't get clogged even with a finer grind setting. I do pour over at home, and would definitely recommend it for that. I don't know about its performance with other brew methods. Very nice grinder! Cons: Adjusting the grind setting is a little painful however, as there is no absolute scale. You start from the finest position and then adjust out with a stepped grind adjustment and you count the number of steps. It's probably not something fixable, however, because of the range of the grinder. The hopper is also a little small. I tend to brew 30g portions, so the 25g capacity (really about 28g) means I have to batch it. The catch bin can hold the full 30g of grounds. I don't mind batching it in, but it might be a reason to go for the C3 Max Pro. The folding handle is very nice for storage, and would be very annoying to store otherwise. It is an extra moving part, however, so I'm hoping it doesn't break as I've been unable to source any spare parts for this grinder in the UK.

I love this! It's sturdy, can grand anywhere from very fine to coarse and does so consistently. Extremely high quality, na pleasure to use. Because of the range and consistency of the grind in can get then best possible results from any brewing method.

The grinder is sturdy and is presented in a lovely box. Have had it about a month and it's a wonderful addition to my kitchen.

Great grind but the circumference of the mill would be much more comfortable to hold if it were larger.
