Chestnut C3 Manual coffee grinder | Matte Black |Timemore - Something's Brewing

The Timemore Chestnut C3 brings precision manual grinding into a compact, matte black body built for serious pour-over and espresso work. Its burrs are cut using 5-axis CNC machining for genuine sharpness and consistency, while a dual-bearing system keeps the center shaft stable throughout every grind, reducing the wobble that causes uneven particle size in lower-end manual grinders.
The grinder's solid, textured body is designed for a tight, secure hand grip during grinding, and its point-to-point adjustment system lets you dial in coarseness with real precision rather than vague, stepped settings. At the core sit Timemore's original patented S2C660 burrs, 38mm in diameter, engineered specifically to cut coffee cleanly before grinding rather than crushing it, which is part of what gives Timemore grinders their reputation for speed and consistency across both espresso and filter brewing.

FAQs

What makes the S2C660 burrs different from standard conical burrs?
They're a patented Timemore design that cuts coffee before grinding rather than only crushing it, which speeds up grinding and produces a more consistent particle size.
Is the C3 suitable for espresso as well as filter coffee?
Yes, the point-to-point adjustment system gives precise enough control to dial in fine espresso settings as well as coarser filter and French press grinds.
What does the dual-bearing system actually improve?
It stabilises the center shaft during grinding, which reduces wobble, a common cause of uneven grind size in cheaper manual grinders.
How is the C3 different from the C2S?
Both share Timemore's precision manual grinding philosophy, but they differ in body size, burr specification, and price point, worth comparing side by side if you're deciding between them.
Does the matte black finish require any special care?
No special care beyond normal use, wipe down the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed, and avoid submerging the body in water.
