S3

tbh, not for me... I have Timemore grinders with both folding handle (S3) and bent handle (C3esp, C5esp) and whenever possible, would buy the bent handle - non-PRO the S3 was not available with a bent handle for espresso, consider electric - Fellow Opus 2 (not original Opus) might be both affordable

The Timemore S3 is not an espresso capable grinder. It simply can't grind fine enough. Timemore advertises it as such, but it's not. I know because I own one. My suggestion is to get a truly espresso capable grinder.

The 1zpresso ZP6 is more stable compared to the Timemore S3, because it has it's burr and shaft fixed, the S3 is built like all other Timemores where the burr and shaft are different and the burr is held in place with a burr plate and nut. The S3 has I think a 19 micron adjustment compared with 22 m

S3 was pretty good and I still use for decaf pourovers. I wonder regarding on the improvements in cleaning: S3 body has is really annoying to clean due to the ribs inside. I also hope new adjustment ring / body is sturdier and sturdiness: the dial ring on my S3 doesn't hold fast anymore and drifts e

lo dudo mucho, yo tengo uno importado, un Timemore S3 y lo tuve que modificar con una arandela para apretar mas las muelas y recien ahi funciona para espresso, pero asi todo estas 2 minutos moliendo y corrres riesgo de gastar las muelas que no fueron diseñadas para estar tan apretadas. No creo que e

Serve, a timemore foi malandra, visto que, ela lançou o s3 para concorrer com o K-Ultra, mas por uma falha de projeto, o dial dele n permite ajustar a moagem para espresso mesmo(chega no maximo a pegar pressão pra um turbo shot). A comunidade corrigiu isso colocando um calço/arruela extra no eixo pr

Whoa that's interesting. Does it grind fine enough for espresso? I currently only have Timemore S3, and at its finest setting it barely passed for espresso haha.

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

Thank you so much for the instructions!! I just bought an espresso machine, thinking my TIMEMORE S3 is capable of what it says it is but well… .

for espresso, if wanting to use an S3-type of grinder, instead of your Chestnut ESP, you should use the S3 ESP, which is designed specifically for espresso - it has a different octagonal espresso-focused burr, compared to the base S3, which is only designed for "espresso" using pressurized baskets a
