Timemore Chestnut C5 ESP Manual Coffee Grinder – Black
Professional Precision: The High-Performance Manual Grinder for filter coffee Enthusiasts, who also enjoy espresso.
The Timemore Chestnut C5 ESP is a precision-engineered manual grinder designed for those who demand cafe-quality results at home or on the go. Optimised specifically for the fine-tuned requirements of espresso brewing and making tiny adjustments for the most precise filter coffee grinder, the C5 ESP bridges the gap between portability and professional-grade performance, offering unparalleled grind consistency in its class.
Why the C5 ESP?
The "ESP" signifies this grinder’s specialized focus on Espresso. While standard hand grinders often struggle with the micro-adjustments needed for a perfect shot, the C5 ESP features an upgraded internal adjustment system and a massive 42mm burr set. This allows you to dial in your grind with surgical precision, whether you are using a professional espresso machine or a classic Moka Pot.
Key Features & Benefits
- Upgraded S2C-042-III Burrs (42mm): Featuring Timemore’s patented "Spike to Cut" technology, these 7-blade high-carbon stainless steel burrs cut the bean before grinding. This results in higher uniformity, fewer fines, and a cleaner, more vibrant cup profile. The burrs are perfect for filter coffee and can be found in the flagship model of Timemore, the S3.
- Micro-Adjustment for Espresso: The C5 ESP features a refined thread pitch that allows for 0.015mm (15-micron) increments per click. With 50 clicks per rotation, you have the granular control necessary to find the "sweet spot" for any roast.
- Solid Metal Construction: Built for durability, the C5 ESP features an aluminum alloy unibody with a high-strength stainless steel central shaft. The internal metal supports ensure zero burr wobble, maintaining perfect alignment even at the finest settings.
- "XL Funnel" Design: The flared hopper opening makes loading coffee beans faster and more convenient, holding up to 30g of coffee for larger brews.
- Ergonomic Grip & Handle: The classic "checkerboard" etched texture provides a non-slip grip, while the stable, high-torque handle makes grinding even the hardest light-roast beans smooth and effortless.
