Chestnut C3 ESP

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

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.

Lance Hedrick has a video on manual vs electric grinders for espresso. The gist is: you get better performance for the money with manual grinders than with electric grinders. One very important thing to consider when looking at handgrinding for espresso is your forearm strength. It really takes a lo

I have a Jura coffee machine for when it needs to go fast, but during the weekend and when I work from home I use a manual grinder with my Bialetti. I did a lot of research and in the end settled on the Timemore C3ESP. Anything cheaper did not get good reviews.

Hi, when i started out with my espresso journey (using Wacaco Picopresso), I opted for Timemore C3ESP manual coffee grinder with 23.3microns per adjustment. It was a good hand grinder. Grinds very fine and doesn't clog my picopresso. I had this setup for 2.5ish years. I have upgraded to a Bambino Pl

If you want good results (and not waste a lot of money in the process), get a decent but affordable hand grinder. You really don’t want to dial in your beans one store-ground 12 oz bag at a time. The TIMEMORE Chestnut C3 ESP Pro is a more than decent all-around grinder and can be yours for $72 right

Maybe I was unlucky with my K6 but I have both - only difference is I have the C3esp - and taste-wise I much prefer the timemore, even with filter or immersion. The k6's capacity is nice but I find my cups are brighter with the timemore

I grind very dark oily beans daily for moka. My grinder is a Timemore C3 ESP. I have zero issues due to oily beans. I've disassembled my C3 for cleaning twice in the several years that I've owned it. Frankly, the first time I opened it up - after about a year of use - I expected a disaster. I was sh

The best bang-for-your-buck with coffee is a good grinder. Also, note that a good grinder doesn't have to break the bank. We are fortunate that these days there are quite a few excellent grinders. I have a Timemore C3 ESP and it is fantastic; more than I'd ever need for the moka. If you are fighting

Die Bialetti Mokka-Kocher sind super. Aber einmal überhitzt kannst du die wegschmeißen. Ich wollte das nicht wahrhaben, habe aber beim direkten Vergleich zu einer neuwertigen Kanne einsehen müssen, dass sie nur noch für Altmetall taugt :-( Zum Thema Kaffeemühle: Ich benutze eine Handmühle (um die 10
