The perfect equipment for the home barista who’s starting to venture into the world of espresso. The Timemore C3 combines portability, precision and durability in a compact design built for everyday brewing. Whether you’re dialling in espresso at home or preparing filter coffee while travelling, this premium hand grinder delivers smooth, consistent results with minimal effort.

Timemore Chestnut C3 Hand Grinder Features

Designed to balance performance, portability and ease of use, the Timemore coffee grinder includes a range of features that make daily grinding more precise and consistent:

S2C burrs — Hexagonal burrs that cut fast and produce fewer fines. The upgraded burr geometry in the Timemore grinder improves grind consistency and helps create cleaner, more balanced extractions across a wide range of brewing methods.

Dual ball bearings — Hold the axle and burrs in place for efficient and easier grinding. This stabilised internal design helps the grinder maintain alignment during use, making your grinding experience smoother and more controlled.

18g/second — The new burrs and bearings design lets you produce 18 grams of espresso grind in less than a minute. For home brewers looking for an efficient espresso hand grinder, the C3 offers speed without sacrificing grind quality.

Portable — At 474 grams, the C3 is lightweight and perfect for travel. Compact and durable, this hand grinder coffee setup is easy to pack for work, travel or brewing on the go.

Aluminium dial — Previous iterations of the C3 have a plastic dial, but this updated version has one made with aluminium, which is snappier and more durable. The upgraded adjustment dial provides more tactile feedback and improved long-term durability for daily use.

Aluminium body — The full aluminium body has a textured design that looks and feels premium. The durable construction gives the Timemore coffee grinder a solid, high-quality feel while remaining lightweight enough for portable brewing.

Why grind consistency matters in coffee brewing

Consistent grind size plays a major role in how coffee extracts and tastes in the cup. When particles are uneven, water flows through the coffee inconsistently, which can lead to over-extraction, bitterness or weak flavours.

The Timemore C3 is designed to reduce fines and improve particle uniformity, helping create more balanced and repeatable brews. This is especially important for espresso, where even small grind variations can significantly affect extraction and flavour.

For manual brewing methods like pour-over or AeroPress, consistent grinding also improves clarity and sweetness, making it easier to highlight the unique characteristics of different coffees.

Built for everyday brewing

The Timemore Chestnut C3 balances performance with ease of use, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced brewers. Its ergonomic handle and smooth grinding motion reduce effort during use, while the compact design makes storage simple.

Whether you’re building your first espresso setup or upgrading from an entry-level grinder, the Timemore C3 offers a reliable and refined grinding experience.
