Hello fellow coffee enthusiast. Have that same machine and portafilter. Your problem is your grinder. I use a timemore C3 ESP Pro. Yes, it’s a hand grinder but it doesn’t take that much longer and I’ve been very happy with it for dark and medium roasts. They appear to be on sale, on Amazon for $80.

Hi, I use the Timemore Chestnut C3 ESP Pro, (~£100). For my travels with an aeropress. I find a grind setting of 2.0.0 is a good starting point for any of the beans I would take with me. I generally have medium-light to medium roasts only.Hope this helps in your decision?

Fully agree. The other day, I was showing my sister in law how to use her new machine, and we pulled a damn near perfect shot with an unmodified Bambino Plus and a Timemore C3 ESP. No WDT, no RDT, no dosing funnel, no puck screen, no distributor, no IMS basket. Stock tamp, single wall double shot ba

Checking the total of the selected items amounts to way past ₱10k. Please reconsider your budget unless you are certain that you would enjoy this hobby. That being said, let's allocate the ₱10.5k. Grinder: ₱3.7k+ Timemore C3ESP Pro is a solid choice. Although if you're not planning to do espresso la

Moedor é o item mais importante de um setup, principalmente para espressos. Na minha opinião é algo que não vale a pena economizar. Tem o Timemore C3 ESP que diz ser voltado para espressos... dá uma pesquisada sobre ele, mas eu não apostaria nele. E lembrando que moer manualmente para espressos é al

I hope you are talking about the c3 esp pro. The c3s pro would still struggle to get the detailed grind size adjustment needed for espresso. https://eightouncecoffee.ca/blogs/news/a-guide-to-the-timemore-c3-hand-grinder-collection

Kingrinder K6. I also use a Timemore C3esp (gf's grinder) and the K6 is much nicer to my liking for both pourover and espresso. Build quality is good and easy to take apart and clean as well.

Good brand, but if you do mainly pourovers, better go for 1zpresso/timemore (in my experience, better yet, commandante if you have the budget). They have variants that can produce espresso grinds (chestnut c3esp for timemore). But imo, maybe get a high quality/dedicated electric grinder for espresso
