TIMEMORE Chestnut C3s MAX Grinder

The Timemore Chestnut C3s Max is a thoughtfully designed manual grinder that delivers excellent consistency in a compact, durable form. It’s a reliable everyday grinder for home brewing and a great companion for travel.

At its core are Timemore’s S2C (Spike-to-Cut) stainless steel burrs, engineered to improve cutting efficiency and reduce fines. This results in a cleaner, more balanced cup—especially noticeable with pour-over and immersion methods.

The Max version features a larger capacity (up to ~30 g), allowing you to grind enough coffee for multiple cups in one go. A solid aluminum body, dual bearings, and a smooth crank action make grinding stable and comfortable, without unnecessary complexity.

This is a grinder we recommend for those looking to move beyond entry-level options while keeping their setup simple and dependable.
