I need help

Coffee grinders for espresso range from $100USD to $4000USD. Cheapest one's will be hand grinders and given your working on a De'Longhi Dedica EC685 -- You are in the budget range of espresso. Look into hand grinders, it'll take 30+ seconds & a bit of an arm workout but you'll get a good cup of espr

Are burr grinders that necessary?

Yes, it is that much better in the long run. You mention that you cycle through 4-5 bags of beans but has any of them ever "wowed" you or stood out with some clean and standout flavors? It's really hard to achieve with a blade grinder because with the uneven grind size, the fines have more surface a

Coffee is really weak on my DeLonghi ECP 35.31

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.

Looking for a budget coffee grinder [150$]

Baratza Encore ESP is the safe bet at that price, tons of Bambino owners run it and it won't get trashed. Timemore C3 Pro hand grinder is solid too if you don't mind hand grinding.

Günstige Kaffeemühle (und weitere Tipps?)

Timemore C3 ESP Pro. War über Ali immer etwas günstiger zu haben, muss man aber gucken wie sich die neuen Zölle jetzt darauf auswirken. Damit bist du auf jeden Fall gut aufgestellt. Wir hatten die auch Jahr lang benutzt, bis wir kein Bock auf das Kurblen hatten und etwas elektrisches bestellt wurde.

Timemore C5 ESP vs. C5 ESP Pro: Is the curved handle actually more comfortable?

I can't advise regarding straight vs curved as my only manual grinder is straight. What I will comment on is the tremendous convenience of a folding handle. I'll never go back to a non-folding handle. From storage to travel, you just can't beat it. My Timemore is a C3 ESP Pro, but I think the handle

Dream comes true (finally!!!!)

Honestly, all of them, including the C3 ESP, can produce cups of tasty coffee. So if you’re happy with your C3 ESP, there is no need to buy another grinder. But chances are you would notice some differences when comparing the cups side by side. Those electric grinders you mentioned: I wouldn’t expec

Dicas para iniciado

Moedores manuais raramente passam de 3540g. Então pra um iniciante querendo economizar, eu recomendaria o Timemore C2/C3 ou o Kingrider k1, que tem capacidades de 2528g, e rodar 2x. Melhor ainda seria o 1zpresso q air, que tende a ser melhor pro tipo de torra e método que tem, mas aí você vai prec

Help me build a travel setup please [$250]

most compact true espresso is the picopresso - i love mine but it's a little bit of faff to pull two shots. for the grinder, a Kingrinder K6 or Timemore C3 ESP would be good choices for manual grinding. Not too far in price is the electric Geimori T38 Plus, which I would recommend if you're always g

10-day review of the Timemore Whirly ☕

If you’re on a ₹5k budget and don’t mind the arm workout, the Timemore C3 is great, as long as you don’t plan to get into espresso.If you can spend ₹11k, the Timemore Whirly is the better pick for everything from pour over and moka to espresso.
