The Timemore Chestnut C2 Coffee Grinder Elevates Every Espresso and Pour Over
The Timemore Chestnut C2 Coffee Grinder Elevates Every Espresso and Pour Over
By: James Butler Revised by: Mark Cambell Last updated: Feb 6, 2024
As a coffee nerd constantly seeking to optimize my brews, a stable manual coffee grinder is essential. The TIMEMORE Chestnut C2 caught my eye for its sleek design and competitive price against grinders twice the cost. And after putting it through repeated testing, I can say it deserves a spot in any serious brew kit.
The first thing I noticed was how strong and well-made it was. The body feels like it's made of a tough, yet a lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum. The precision-engineered conical burrs from Timemore are a game-changer; they grind so consistently which took my V60 game to a whole new level. I can really trust these burrs to grind to the exact TDS levels I need, giving me more control over my shots.
Changing grind size is simple, and at 64mm the conical burrs are bigger than most competitors. Its large 25g-30g capacity means fewer refills when batch brewing. Grinding speed is also quicker than any other manual I’ve used—under 30 seconds for a double shot.
While the price is affordable, the Chestnut performs like luxury coffee grinding machines costing hundreds more. It has no wobbly handles or stiff adjustment —only accurate grinds optimizing the flavor of your morning coffee cup. For quality on a budget, or smaller spaces, this will be the best choice.
All in all, the TIMEMORE Chestnut C2 Manual Coffee Grinder is an excellent choice for coffee lovers who want to take their coffee brewing to the next level.
Pros:
