Collection: Timemore

Timemore is a Chinese coffee equipment brand founded in 2012 by coffee lovers who brought together great design, craft, and a philosophy of slow living. They specialise in developing handmade coffee equipment that combines precision engineering with aesthetics, creating tools that are as considered in how they look as they are in how they perform.

At Something's Brewing, we stock 18 Timemore products spanning hand grinders, manual brewers, coffee scales, accessories, and barista tools, ranging from Rs. 999 to Rs. 15,999. The Timemore Magic Cube Portafilter Stand at Rs. 3,999 is the only currently in-stock product in this collection.

About Timemore: Design-Led Coffee Equipment from China

Timemore's design team is made up of people with years of industrial design experience and a genuine passion for coffee brewing. This combination produces equipment that the specialty coffee community has adopted rapidly since the brand's launch. From home brewers picking up their first hand grinder to professional baristas who carry Timemore scales to competitions, the brand has built a reputation for delivering quality that outperforms its price point across every category it enters.

The brand's philosophy centres on the idea that making coffee should be a deliberate, unhurried ritual. Every Timemore product is designed to slow you down and connect you more deeply with the brewing process, whether that is cranking a hand grinder before a morning pour over or weighing a precise dose on a Timemore scale.

Timemore Hand Grinders: The Chestnut Series

The Chestnut series is Timemore's flagship hand grinder range and one of the most widely used manual grinder families in the specialty coffee world. All Chestnut grinders use 38mm stainless steel conical burrs that produce consistent, uniform particle sizes across grind settings ranging from fine espresso through coarse French press. The compact and lightweight design of each model makes them well-suited for both daily home use and travel brewing.

The Timemore Chestnut C2 and C2S are the entry points in the range at Rs. 4,999 each. Both use the same stainless steel burr set and offer a wide grind range suitable for pour over, AeroPress, and filter brewing. The C2S is a refined version of the C2 with improvements to the body design and shaft stability. The Chestnut C3 at Rs. 6,499 and C3S at Rs. 6,399 offer upgraded burr alignment and a smoother cranking experience. The Chestnut C5 ESP at Rs. 9,999 is calibrated specifically for espresso-capable grinding, with tighter burr tolerances and a finer adjustment range that suits home espresso setups where grind precision is critical.

Timemore grinders are a natural companion to pour over brewers and the Timemore Crystal Eye dripper in particular. The combination of a Chestnut grinder and a Crystal Eye dripper represents one of the most cohesive, design-consistent pour over setups available at a combined price that is accessible to most home brewers.

Timemore Manual Brewers

Timemore U French Press

The Timemore U French Press at Rs. 1,999 is a compact, well-designed French Press with a borosilicate glass carafe and a stainless steel plunger. The double-wall glass construction retains heat better than single-wall alternatives, and the fine mesh filter produces a smoother, lower-sediment cup than cheaper mesh options. It is available in black and white and brews enough coffee for one to two servings per cycle. Explore the broader French Press collection if you want to compare this with other options.

Timemore Crystal Eye Dripper

The Crystal Eye is Timemore's pour over dripper and one of the most interesting design innovations in the category. Its raised crystal-shaped interior texture creates a consistent air gap between the filter paper and the dripper wall that produces a more even, predictable drain rate compared to the Hario V60's spiral rib design. The Crystal Eye Dripper 02 PC is available at Rs. 999 in plastic. The Crystal Eye Glass Dripper 02 with holder is available at Rs. 1,899, and the Crystal Eye Brewer Glass Set with a 600ml server is available at Rs. 2,799. The Timemore Pour Over Glass Set at Rs. 4,999 includes the dripper, glass server, and filter papers in a complete all-in-one setup available in black, white, transparent, and transparent black.

Timemore Magic Cube Portafilter Stand

The Timemore Magic Cube Portafilter Stand at Rs. 3,999 is a compact, universal stand designed to hold a portafilter securely during dosing, distribution, and tamping.

Timemore Coffee Server 600ml

The Timemore Coffee Server at Rs. 2,299 is a glass carafe designed to receive pour over brewed coffee directly from the Crystal Eye or any compatible dripper. The clean, minimal glass design makes it a practical and visually appealing part of a pour over setup.

Timemore Glass Canister

The Timemore Glass Canister at Rs. 1,699 is a 1200ml airtight storage container for whole coffee beans. Glass construction ensures no flavour transfer and the seal prevents oxidation between uses.

Timemore Small C2 Coffee Suitcase

The Timemore Small C2 Coffee Suitcase at Rs. 15,999 is a premium travel case designed to carry the Chestnut C2 grinder and complementary brewing accessories in a compact, carry-friendly format. It is the most distinctive product in the Timemore range and built for coffee drinkers who want to bring a complete specialty setup on the road.

Why Timemore Stands Out Among Manual Coffee Equipment Brands

Timemore has succeeded in a category where most brands either compromise on quality to hit a price point or charge a premium for the name alone. Their Chestnut grinders, in particular, consistently outperform comparably priced grinders on grind uniformity because Timemore invested in quality stainless steel burrs rather than cutting costs on the most critical component. Their scales use the same fast chip technology as more expensive competitors. Their drippers show genuine design thinking rather than copying established formats.

The brand's closest competitor in the hand grinder space is 1Zpresso, whose grinders sit at a slightly higher price point with tighter burr tolerances. For most home brewers who primarily brew filter coffee, a Timemore Chestnut represents the best value available in manual grinding. For espresso-specific grinding with very fine micro-adjustment requirements, 1Zpresso or the Timemore C5 ESP are the stronger choices.

Pair any Timemore brewer or grinder with freshly roasted beans from Indian specialty roasters for the most noticeable improvement in your daily cup. Light to medium roasts with fruity or floral notes showcase what Timemore's consistent grind quality is genuinely capable of producing.
