TIMEMORE Chestnut C2S Manual Coffee Grinder 25g — 38mm CNC Steel Burr, 36-Step Adjustable

The TIMEMORE Chestnut C2S is a compact, precision manual coffee grinder with a 25g capacity and 38 mm CNC stainless steel conical burr for consistent home or travel grinding.

Designed for hand-brewing enthusiasts who value control and portability, the Chestnut C2S combines a machined stainless burr, double-bearing alignment, and a 36-step grind adjustment in a lightweight 450 g body. It’s built to deliver uniform particle size from fine to coarse, suited for filters, moka pots, and French press, while remaining easy to carry and simple to clean.

How consistent is the grind for different brewing methods?

The C2S uses a 38 mm CNC-machined conical burr and double-bearing central axis positioning to produce evenly sized grounds across the adjustment range. That consistency helps you dial in grind settings more predictably for various brew styles.

• 38 mm stainless steel conical burr for stable particle distribution
• Double bearing alignment for reduced wobble and uniform grinding
• 36-step adjustable coarseness to switch between fine and coarse quickly

How easy is it to use and grind with this manual hand mill?

The handle and bearing system are engineered to reduce wrist effort: the handle continues to turn smoothly even after you pause, which lowers fatigue during repeated use. The compact 52 mm body diameter makes it comfortable for small hands and easy to grip while grinding.

• Built-in bearing for a smoother, less tiring rotation
• Compact 52 mm body for secure hold and ergonomic control
• Light-force burr geometry enables efficient grinding with minimal effort

What makes it practical for travel and maintenance?

At about 450 g, the Chestnut C2S balances a solid feel with true portability — small enough for a backpack yet robust enough for daily home use. Disassembly is straightforward for routine cleaning: a simple brush removes grounds and the package includes protective packaging and a user manual for care guidance.

• 450 g total weight — sturdy but travel-friendly
• Easy-to-disassemble parts for quick brushing and upkeep
• Protective packaging and manual included; customer support available

Can I dial in the exact coarseness I want?

The stepless-style knob offers approximately 36 distinct settings so you can move gradually from espresso-adjacent fine grinds to coarse French press textures. Turning clockwise tightens for finer results, counterclockwise opens for coarser grounds, letting you reproduce the same setting reliably.

• About 36 adjustable levels for precise grind control
• Clear direction: clockwise for finer, counterclockwise for coarser
• Stable adjustment mechanism that holds settings well during use

Who this is for: the TIMEMORE Chestnut C2S fits home baristas, campers, and travelers who want a durable, accurate manual grinder without extra bulk. It’s ideal for people who brew a variety of methods — from pour-over to French press — and want a tool that offers repeatable results, easy maintenance, and comfortable hand use.
