TIMEMORE Chestnut C2S Hand Grinder
Verdict
All-metal hand grinder for pour-over, AeroPress and travel
The Chestnut C2S is TIMEMORE’s metal-body hand grinder with stainless steel conical burrs, a double-bearing shaft and about 36 adjustment steps. It holds about 25 g of beans, which suits one or two cups of pour-over, AeroPress or French press. Espresso-fine adjustment is limited compared with grinders built for espresso.
