Brew with precision using the Timemore Chestnut C5 Manual Coffee Grinder – Black. Featuring Timemore’s latest 42 mm S2C-042-III conical burrs, the C5 delivers faster, smoother, and more consistent grinds across all brewing methods.

The solid aluminium body provides excellent stability and a premium feel, while the textured grip and anti-slip silicone base ensure comfortable, steady grinding. With its improved burr design and fine-tuned adjustment system, the Chestnut C5 offers outstanding grind uniformity and clarity — ideal for coffee lovers who demand precision and quality in every cup.

C5 Updates: 

• Next-Gen Burr Set: Upgraded to the S2C-042-III 42mm conical burrs, a leap forward from the previous 38mm set, delivering faster and more uniform grinding.
• New Textured Grip: All-metal engraved finish for secure, slip-free handling — even with wet hands.
• Numbered Adjustment Dial: No more counting from zero. Faster dial-ins with tighter tolerances.
• Custom High-Precision Bearings: Dual-axis alignment with tolerances as tight as 0.007mm for smooth, stable rotation.
• Larger Capacity: A new 25g catch cup, perfect for brewing larger batches.
• Anti-Slip Silicone Base: Added bottom grip prevents slips, absorbs impact, and keeps things quiet.

The Chestnut C5 represents a clear evolution from Timemore’s popular C3 grinder, enhancing both performance and precision. The most significant upgrade lies in the burr set: the C5 features 42 mm S2C-042-III burrs, larger and more refined than the 38 mm S2C burrs in the C3. This results in greater grinding efficiency, reduced wobble, and improved consistency — producing a cleaner, more balanced flavour profile, especially noticeable with lighter roasts and espresso brewing.

While the C3 offers reliable stepped adjustment suitable for filter coffee, the C5 refines this mechanism to allow finer, more precise control over grind size. This makes it more versatile across brewing methods, from coarse grinds for French press to fine grinds for espresso. It’s particularly beneficial for users who want better repeatability and consistency between brews.

Aesthetically and ergonomically, both models share the same high-quality aluminium construction, but the C5’s re-engineered body provides better grip and smoother operation. It maintains the C3’s travel-friendly form factor but feels more stable and refined during use. Overall, the Chestnut C5 is a worthy upgrade — designed for those who appreciate craftsmanship, consistency, and improved performance without sacrificing Timemore’s compact, minimalist style.
