Full details
The TIMEMORE Chestnut C3S PRO is a premium manual coffee grinder designed for home brewing enthusiasts and travelers who prioritize grind consistency and portability. Featuring upgraded S2C stainless steel burrs and a foldable handle, it excels at producing uniform grounds for methods ranging from precise espresso to coarse French Press. While it offers professional-grade precision in a compact frame, its 20-25g capacity means it is best suited for single-serve brewing rather than batch preparation.

FAQs
Can I use this for espresso?

How many grams does the grinder hold?
The hopper is optimized for 20-25g of coffee beans, which is sufficient for 1-2 cups of coffee.
Is the handle replaceable?
Yes, the handle is a modular part, though the foldable design is intended to be durable for long-term use.
How do I know which setting to use?
Start with 10 clicks for espresso, 18 for pour-over, and 26 for French Press, then adjust based on your preference.
Should I wash the burrs with water?
No, it is recommended to keep the burrs dry and clean them using only a dry brush to prevent rust.
What is the material of the burrs?

Troubleshooting
Adjustment dial feels stuck or hard to turn
Ensure there are no coffee beans jammed between the burrs. Clear the chamber and check for stuck particles.
Inconsistent grind size
Check that the center shaft is fully tightened and that the burr is centered properly during assembly.
Grinder slips out of hand while cranking
The matte finish is designed for grip, but ensure your hands are dry. Using a non-slip silicone sleeve or towel can help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your grinder, ensure the adjustment dial is set to the desired click count by rotating it clockwise until it stops at the 'zero' point, then counting clicks counter-clockwise. Always avoid adjusting the setting while the burrs are currently engaged or grinding, as this can strain the internal components.
For cleaning, the C3S PRO should be disassembled occasionally. Use a soft, dry brush to clear loose grounds from the burr set. Do not wash the grinder in a dishwasher or submerge the internal components in water. If deep cleaning is necessary, use a damp cloth on the exterior and ensure the burrs are completely dry before reassembly to prevent oxidation.
