Product Information

Build-quality: More plastic than other hand grinders. The aluminum feels a bit cheaper than the 1Zpresso models. It’s not something you see except when attaching the grounds jar. The sound it makes sounds slightly cheap and creaky. That should also help this hand grinder age a little more gracefully; burrs change over time, but a spring won’t lose tension that easily in a grinder (since it won’t undergo too much stress).

Initial Use of the Timemore Chestnut C2

Both the C2 and C3 use stainless steel conical burrs. The kind of burrs in each grinder is the biggest difference between the two. Build quality is where Timemore products shine. I have yet to encounter one whose quality doesn’t blow me away for the price, and the C3 keeps this streak alive. So we were pleased to find that consistency was one of the best aspects of the new burr set in the Timemore C3. In tests, it outperformed the Timemore Slim Plus, which uses the same burrs found in the C2. What about espresso?

The Timemore Chestnut C2 comes in at a pretty standard size, measuring 160mm by 60mm. The hopper can hold 25 grams of coffee which is more than enough for a single serve with most brewing methods. If you are after a hand grinder with a larger capacity, you could consider the Timemore C2 Max, which is an identical grinder but with a slightly larger capacity, it can accommodate up to 30 grams of coffee. The base C3 features the same aluminum dial as the C2 Pro. This gives the base C3 a significant edge over the base C2. The C3 was envisioned as an improved version of the C2, and little design fixes like this showcase that well. Burr Quality

Overall, the C2 coffee grinder is fantastic value for money and highly recommended as an entry level option, a travel companion or as a dedicated filter coffee grinder. It has an anatomically shaped handle that spins smoothly due to being mounted on ball bearings, and on the inside, there’s a set of 38 mm steel burrs. By now, we have seen this design often, and it works perfectly fine for these pour over-centric home grinders.
