FAQs

What is the capacity of the TIMEMORE Chestnut C5 Pro?

The grinder has a grind chamber capacity of 30 grams and a catch cup capacity of 25 grams, suitable for grinding enough beans for approximately two servings.

How do I adjust the grind size?

Turn the adjustment nut located at the bottom of the grinder. Clockwise rotation leads to a finer grind, while counter-clockwise rotation results in a coarser grind. The dial has 48 clicks for precise adjustments.

Is the C5 Pro suitable for espresso?

Yes, the C5 Pro's precise adjustment mechanism with 0.031 mm increments per click allows for fine-tuning the grind to be suitable for espresso preparation.

How often should I clean the grinder?

It is recommended to brush out the burrs after each use. A more thorough cleaning of the burrs (tool-free removal) can be done weekly or bi-weekly depending on usage frequency and the type of beans ground.

Can I use water to clean the burrs?

It is best to avoid water for cleaning the burrs to prevent rust. Use the provided brush to remove grounds. If a deeper clean is needed, use water sparingly and ensure the burrs are completely dry before reassembly.

What makes the C5 Pro 'Pro' compared to other TIMEMORE models?

The 'Pro' designation signifies upgraded features such as the larger 42mm S2C-042-III burrs, a longer grinding path for enhanced consistency, and refined construction for improved grip and durability.

Is the grinder heavy for travel?

The grinder weighs 663 grams and has a compact design with a folding handle, making it moderately weighted but very portable for travel and outdoor use.

Troubleshooting

Grinder feels stiff or difficult to turn.

Ensure there are no obstructions in the burr set. Check that the central shaft is properly aligned. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Inconsistent grind size.

Verify that the adjustment dial is properly set and locked. Ensure the central shaft is stable and the bearings are functioning correctly. Clean the burrs thoroughly to remove any coffee oils or residue that might be affecting performance.

Grinder is making unusual noises.

Check for any loose parts, particularly the handle or the adjustment knob. Ensure the catch cup is properly seated. If the noise is from the burrs, inspect them for damage or foreign objects.

Handle is loose or wobbly.

Ensure the handle is securely attached to the drive shaft. Tighten any screws or mechanisms associated with the handle attachment, if applicable.
