Comparing this and Agaro is like comparing wagon R with Fortuner. Both will take you to your destination but with very varied results. Agaro ceramic burr grinder is shit and nobody should ever buy that. On the other hand, timemore C3S feels so significant in hands and grinds the beans effortlessly w

Hello freinds , yet again here to ask the same old question of best grinder . I have 10k budget , i can personallu shortlist these below , which one shall i go for plz plz advice

My two cents on manual vs. electric grinder! Absolutely in terms of grind quality and consistency, Timemore C3S would be the first choice. I got the same too initially. At the same price range, manual would definitely be better. However, there is a caveat. If you are someone working, business, studi

Recommendations for an affordable [$100] burr grinder?

A cheaper alternative is a Timemore C3S at I think $50 in the US? This will do espresso but it takes about 150 turns to do so. There is an aftermarket adjustment ring that gives more settings. I had one for travel and used an adjustment between 6 and 7 clicks. 6 wouldn't pull, 7 flowed way too fast.

Recomendaciones equipo minimo barista

Yo tengo la balanza Timemore Balck Mirror Basic II y es un lujazo. Y molinillo tengo el Timemore C3S pero creo que se queda corto para espresso, hay que hacer mucha fuerza. Yo lo uso para filtrado.

Looking to build my first home coffee setup on a budget. What should I buy first?

At that price range, you have 3 options: 1zpresso Q Air, Kingrinder P2 and Timemore C3S. All are more or less equally good. I use the C3S and dont think I'll be upgrading any time soon. However, none of them can grind for espresso reliably. So if you do plan to get into expensive machines eventually

Recomendaciones para una primera cafetera

Capaz alguien te sugiere otros, pero yo compré un Timemore C3S y estos super satisfecho. Hasta ahora si preparo para mi solo lo muelo en segundos con muy poco esfuerzo. Como poder, podés comprar molido en algún tostadero (o incluso de super, si te va), a mi no me copa eso porque pierde el aroma y el

1Zpresso Q Air vs Timemore C3s - FOR ESPRESSO [Budget ~ 90-100$]

I'm using Timemore C3S and it's tiring to grind for espresso. 11 grams of beans would take 1 minute and great effort.

Switching to v60 from French Press

The C2S is quite capable. You can see my brews. I grind Espresso fine for my Moka Pot method and it does take a long time and high effort to grind at 6-7 clicks. Normally for Moka grind 9-12 clicks is good. For Nanopresso I grind at 9-11 clicks. Pourover range is quite long 15-24 clicks. I am quite

Anong super worth it na ginastos mo para sa sarili mo this year?

Manual Coffee Grinder, Timemore C3s. Ibang klase sa pakiramdam na ako mismo gumagawa ng kape ko at kahit pano nasasarapan naman sa timpla. Parang nagiging therapy na sya in a sense. Ayaw mong ubusin agad kase mas matagal gawin kesa inumin.haha

Cera + 51mm knockoff

Wow, no one responded. That's a great price! I sent two PCM04A from Alibaba to friends about $160US shipped, and this isn't that much more for one. Did you get your grinder situation figured out? The Aashonee Prime will get you there but after 250 turns for espresso. The Timemore C3S about 150 turns
