TIMEMORE Chestnut C2S Hand Grinder
Verdict
All-metal S2C hand grinder for pour-over and travel
The Chestnut C2S is TIMEMORE’s widely available metal-body hand grinder with stainless conical burrs and dual-bearing alignment. It’s a strong budget pick for pour-over, AeroPress, and French press. Espresso-fine adjustment is limited versus ESP-oriented mills. We keep the verified C2S ASIN so the Amazon link matches the product photo.
