Lightweight travel grinder [$300]
Yeah I was doing a bit of Gemini-ing for my own curiousity. Respectfully, I still don't really think the constraints here make sense (eg if you're going an extended period, then coffee bean weight itself gets pretty substantial). If I had to do something within the confines, here's some LLM-generate

First day, shitty grinder, no clue what I am doing and I had not a single bad shot.
The TIMEMORE Chestnut S3. Still kinda sad. They say it is also for espresso and for the price of 170€ for a hand grinder, I was really expecting it to work. I mean it worked after maxing every aspekt to get pressure, but that also means I have not a lot of room to play with to optimize taste while s

And I have 1 relegated to mokapot duty (C3 Esp Pro) and 1 relegated to cold brew duty (C3s Pro). No more tinkering with gr

Experience with the Timemore Bricks 01S for Espresso? Reliability, Grind Consistency, Build Quality? [€290]
I don't own Femobook A2, however after watching being reviewed by Lance Hedrick, seems a decent budget friendly entry level grinder for espresso. It's also portable and already electric grinder. I also own Timemore S3, like you said, too coarse for espresso, unless maybe Timemore S3 esp. Haven't tri
