TIMEMORE New -Chestnut C2 Fold Manual Coffee Grinder with Foldable Handle, Adjustable Stainless Steel Conical Burr Coffee Grinder, Hand Coffee Grinder for Pour Over Coffee, French Press, Grey

Used it exclusively for pour over. Grind settings are perfect for it. Build quality is great with all metal parts, plus foldable arm too. Best bang for buck in this category.

Excelente molino, aunque trae un certificado de autenticidad qué registres pero solo sirve para USA, acá en México no lo permite.

l was tired of the electric ones that leave some of the beans reduced to dust by the time all the large pieces are done. I've used other hand grinders and for the money, this is very satisfying. It has several settings and works great.

Build Quality: This grinder is made entirely from solid metal — no plastic, no compromises. It has a professional feel in hand: solid, weighty (but not too heavy), and beautifully machined with textured grip for control. Every part feels engineered with precision, and it's the kind of quality you'd expect in a high-end café setting. Grind Quality: As a proper burr grinder, it delivers impressively consistent grind sizes. Whether you're dialling in for espresso or going coarser for pour-over or French press, the burrs do their job beautifully. The coffee particles come out uniform, which leads to a noticeably better extraction and flavour. Functionality: The grinder performs exactly as you’d hope. It’s efficient, precise, and surprisingly fast for a manual model. The folding handle is a brilliant touch — locking firmly in place when in use and tucking away neatly when not. This makes it ideal for travel or saving counter space in smaller kitchens. Ease of Use: Once set up, it’s incredibly satisfying to use. The handle turns smoothly with just the right amount of resistance, and the ergonomics are spot on. Setting the grind size can be a little fiddly at first (especially for beginners), but once it’s dialled in, the workflow is smooth and consistent. Design: The minimalist, matte black aesthetic looks fantastic and feels premium. It's compact and sleek, with no unnecessary frills — everything serves a purpose. The folding handle adds both form and function, and the whole device feels like a refined, professional tool. Ease of Cleaning: It comes apart easily for basic cleaning, and the surfaces wipe down nicely. No grounds get stuck in awkward places, and maintenance is minimal — a big plus for something you’ll use every day. Final Thoughts: If you’re passionate about coffee and want a grinder that delivers on build quality, grind performance, and design, this is absolutely worth it. It’s a beautifully engineered piece of kit that brings quality and satisfaction to your daily coffee ritual. Highly recommended.

A quick review (sort of). I had the opportunity to taste some pre-ground coffee, namely Lavazza Oro Mountain grown and it had such a rich smooth chocolatey taste and that was without any milk or sugar, I was hooked. Even though I did occasionally drink good quality instant (So I thought) and enjoyed it at coffee shops, this was very different. So, as I was drinking the Lavazza, brewed in an orthodox method as I had no coffee equipment, I went about researching and found the guru of coffee, James Hoffman on youtube. I think I then fell in a deep rabbit hole but my rationale kept me from sinking too far, as getting into that world could become very expensive and I didn’t want that. After watching many videos my first modest investment was an Aeropress. This works very well with the pre-ground coffee and my enjoyment went up a step. The next step was to start grinding beans myself for the truer experience (although only supermarket sourced which could be months old, ideally fresher roasted bean suppliers are the ultimate) another complex path but I stuck to my guns. After some research and advice from forums, I landed on this, the Timemore C2 grinder. I waited for the prime sale and got this at a good price. I understand quality engineering, being a graduate in it, and this grinder exudes quality. Even though to coffee connoisseur this is a budget tool, it feels and functions higher end. Granted I have not tried the more expensive versions but for me, this is superb in my modest world. As this is around the 3rd iteration, two non-folding prior, they’ve upgraded the adjustment dial to metal from plastic. It’s easy to setup, though may require some testing depending on beans but plenty of information available on the internet. The aroma of fresh ground beans, wow. My level of coffee has gone up another step. Comes with a cleaning brush which is very useful, a carrying bag as its designed for travel plus some instructions. My reason for getting a manual grinder was budget. At this sort of budget you could get a electric grinder but it would be constrained someway, mostly with an inferior motor and possibly fail early. You really have to pay much more for a entry level goof electric grinder. By removing the motor element, more could be spent on the mechanism and structure and so, we have this, especially it having high quality steel grinding burrs than faster wearing ceramic. So, very pleased with this and hopefully it should last several years or more. Perhaps at one point the burrs may need sharpening or replacing, depending what’s possible.

This is my first coffee mill, it will likely be my last. Not because I don't like it, but because of the mill's quality. I have the C2 Chestnut, and with the exception of the handle and a washer inside, it's all metal. And it's heavy duty. The mill will hold about 1/4 cup (not rounded) of beans for grinding. It takes me 50 seconds to grind that amount of coffee, I'm not trying to set a speed record. However, I will then grind another 1/16 cup of beans to get enough grounds for 4 cups of coffee at the strength I prefer. All in all, I'm done grinding my beans in about 90 seconds. There is a setting at the bottom of the mill to adjust the grind size. The enclosed pamphlet suggest setting the mill to closed and then backing off a number of "clicks" (opening the mill more slightly with each click) to the desired grind. I find 18 to be the magic number for me. Of course, how large or fine you like your grind will determine the overall grinding time. I would buy this coffee mill again.
