  • HIGH QUALITY GREAT VALUE!

    The Timemore C3 is a brilliant addition to Timemore's line of coffee hand grinders. Some plastic components, including the internal body, keep cost down while making this grinder lightweight and increasing the capacity! Not to mention, the same excellent grind quality. Included with the C3 is Timemore's Spike-to-Cut (S2C) 660 burr set, based on the popular S2C 860 burrs in the Chestnut X.

    The dual-bearing stabilization in the C3 utilizes a reliable spring mechanism to lock the inner burr into position, and ball bearings to hold the grind shaft in place, to ensure you're not losing even a little bit of grind quality. The well-designed handle connection gives this grinder an exceptionally precise grind and a smooth turning handle with every rotation. Lastly, the new and improved grounds bin is made from aluminum for greater durability and a static free grinding experience.

Best budget grinder

Likely the best hand grinder for roughly 100$. Great results with aeropress and pour overs so far

Works awesome! But I do recommend either turning up your grind size or investing in a sifter if you’re using a reusable k cup to prevent finer grinds from passing through into your final pour.

Great Hand Grinder

Precise settings from fine to coarse allow this grinder to work well with whatever brewing method one uses.

Worth the arm workout!

A double shot will give you a nice arm pump, but it’s always worth it. The grind is fairly even and works super well with my espresso machine.

Don’t hesitate on the fact that you have to manually do it. I ground 12 shots for an espresso martini night and it was 100% worth it.
