Overview
TIMEMORE's Chestnut C2S is a manual conical burr grinder machined from stainless steel, holding 25 grams of beans per grind and adjustable across roughly 36 coarseness settings from fine to coarse.
The C2S moves to a full metal unibody after the earlier C2 model's plastic top cover was prone to cracking. A double-bearing central axis is meant to keep grind particles uniform, and the 38mm burr is sized for efficient hand grinding. At 700 grams it is built to travel as easily as it sits on a counter.
- 38mm stainless steel conical burr
- Double bearing central axis positioning
- Roughly 36 coarseness adjustment levels
- 700 gram compact metal body
Who it's for
Fits someone who wants a durable hand grinder for pour-over or espresso-adjacent brewing at home or on the road. Not the right pick for anyone who grinds large batches and would rather not hand-crank each one.
Pros and cons
- Full metal body fixes prior cracking issue
- About 36 adjustable coarseness levels
- Compact 700 gram body for travel
- Manual grinding takes more effort than electric
- 25 gram capacity suits single servings
- No accessories like a stand included
Performance notes
The double-bearing axis is designed to keep the burr centered so grind particles come out uniform rather than uneven, and a built-in bearing lets the handle keep turning briefly after release, cutting the effort needed per grind. The 5-axis CNC-machined burr at 55-58 HRC hardness is meant to cut cleanly with minimal fine powder left over.
