S3

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Right I got you, I think for me I personally really enjoy the grinding experience of using a hand grinder. When I first got into coffee I purchased a cheap burr grinder that was clearly a dupe of the timemore c2. It was amazing and I love it being a part of the coffee making process, I also travel q
