Chestnut C2S

Whats your budget?? If it's 6k go for timemore c2s or c3s. If it's more go for izpresso or kingrindek6 But if you are a beginner and just starting. Timemore itself will be a really good option. The c2s is only 4800 rupees and it'll be a really good starting point for you

thank you for the review, and I agree that the C2 was a nice grinder at its time but, now in 2026, it is much outdated, and can not be recommended anymore - mainly due to plastic in its body, which ages and tends to crack, after years of daily usage for a very similar money, Timemore has already rel

I started with the Timemore C2s and honestly really liked it. My two complaints were the internal adjustment and non-folding crank handle, but those were nitpicky and the handle I didn’t really notice it until I upgraded to the 1Zpresso J-Ultra. But I ONLY upgraded due to wanting a grinder capable o

C2s is more than enough. People in this group also like ashonee. Best would be to wait & just follow this sub. Every now & then people sell their grinders at very good deals. Even I got my timemore like that & I am above 30. So it's expensive for most people trying to get into this hobby. As you are

To save you from the curses you are gonna hear. I don't doubt that this could be useful but it's a non branded grinder with no guarantee for quality. If you can, I would suggest going just 1-2k higher and getting the timemore c2 or c2s grinder. If you absolutely can't, then I guess you can try but b

Well I started brewing around 4-5 month is ago and I would like to say that grinder is the most essential (ignore the water and its tds) the timemore c3s is the best starter grinder anything below c3s/c2s is not worth having and yes you will find the need to upgrade the grinder one you use that trus

V60 hands down, and espresso machines for darker roasts, I’d put moka pot as third. Grinder is bare minimum Grinder makes an objectively better cup, it’s not even close to pre-ground. If you have already been splurging on expensive instant coffees, and like strong black cups, a grinder (c2s timemore
