TIMEMOREChestnut C2S Manual Coffee Grinder with Internal Adjustable Grind Setting, Capacity 20g Hand Coffee Grinder with Stainless Steel Conical Burr, for Espresso to French Press, Black, TM0054

I'm using directly for espresso making. Words perfectly. I receive espresso with taste and cream. Recommended.

El producto cumplió y mis expectativas fueron satisfechas.

There are several versions of this grinder available, and I was not paying enough attention when I ordered mine to be mindful about ordering an option with a folding handle, which would make it far more compact for traveling.I did, however, appreciate how compact this otherwise is, and how supremely adjustable the grind coarseness is, and the fact that the grind size is consistent for each setting, so you can rely on exactly how coarse your coffee grounds will be, depending on which setting you choose.I do like that this has a chamber that can be screwed onto the bottom to hold the grounds, so you don't have to grind your beans directly into a filter or french press - you can dump them where they need to be when you're done grinding. I also like to use this chamber to carry the beans I intend to grind, if taking this somewhere overnight. I just wish that handle folded!

I got this early on in my coffee hobby to make better cups and I can say it has definitely has improved the flavor and taste of my cup of coffee. If you look into this the grinder actually does affect the taste of the coffee. Electric grinders produce heat which can affect the compounds in the coffee so I decided to try a manual grinder instead. The grinder is made of aluminum which feels really nice and premium and even the handle feels nice. There are three pieces to this the handle, the body which contains the grinder and the container which screws down at the bottom and catches the coffee grind. To adjust the grind you remove the container that holds the coffee and twist the bottom to the desired "clicks" which makes it fine to course. I use this now to make my cups of coffee and it doesn't take more than a minute to grind everything in the grinder.Although this is said to be made for espresso, timemore makes an C3 ESP Pro which has a lot more finer control which I will be reviewing soon.I defintely recommend this grinder, it will improve your coffee game so much.

If you prefer a manual grind to using an electric grinder then this is certainly the grinder to use. It's extremely well made, easy to clean, and travels well.
