TIMEMORE Chestnut C5 PRO Manual Coffee Grinder - Black

The Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO Manual Coffee Grinder is precision engineering in the palm of your hand. Built around Spike-to-Cut (S2C) 42mm stainless steel conical burrs with 48 grind settings and 0.031mm precision per click, it delivers barista-level grind control in a compact, all-metal body built for daily use and travel alike.

The S2C conical burr design produces a tighter particle profile for cleaner, more consistent cups across every brew method, from espresso to cold brew. Compared to the C3 series, the Chestnut C5 PRO features larger burrs, 260% more grind settings, a longer grinding path, and better grind consistency. These are not minor refinements. They are the kind of improvements that show up directly in the cup. Hardened stainless steel ensures the burrs hold their performance for years of regular grinding.

The all-metal unibody construction gives the Chestnut C5 PRO a solid, premium feel that punches well above its size. Custom high-precision bearings with dual-axis alignment and a 7µm tolerance keep the burr shaft centred with virtually no wobble, resulting in smooth, low-effort grinding with every turn. The flared XL funnel makes loading beans clean and easy, the grippy silicone base keeps the grinder planted while you work, and the compact ⌀53mm body fits comfortably in hand whether you are at home or packing light.

With 48 total grind settings spanning everything from Turkish coffee to cold brew, the Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO adapts to whatever is in your cup. Whether you are dialling in espresso, pulling a pour-over, or pressing a French press, the 16 macro steps per rotation give you precise, repeatable grind adjustments at every session.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO Manual Coffee Grinder

What brewing methods is the Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO compatible with?

The Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO manual coffee grinder is compatible with a full range of brew methods, including espresso, AeroPress, pour-over (V60, Chemex), drip coffee, French press, and cold brew. Its 48 grind settings and 0.031mm per-click precision give it a grind range wide enough to cover every point on the spectrum, from the finest espresso to the coarsest cold brew.

How does the Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO compare to the Timemore C3?

Compared to the Timemore Chestnut C3 series, the C5 PRO features 19% larger burrs, 260% more grind settings, a 16% longer grinding path, and 5% better grind consistency. In practical terms, those upgrades mean more dialling-in flexibility, a tighter particle distribution, and more repeatable results across all brew methods.

What does S2C mean on the Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO?

S2C stands for Spike-to-Cut. It is a burr geometry developed by Timemore in which a spiked leading edge cracks the coffee bean before a cutting edge refines the grounds. This two-stage approach produces a more uniform particle size distribution and grinds faster than conventional burr geometries, resulting in cleaner-tasting extractions across all brew methods.

Is the Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO a good travel coffee grinder?

Yes. The Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO is a strong choice as a travel coffee grinder. Its compact ⌀53mm body, 640g weight, and all-metal unibody construction make it easy to pack, durable in transit, and capable of delivering high-quality grounds wherever you brew. It does not require electricity, making it as reliable on the road as it is at home.

How do I clean the Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO?

Use the included grinder brush to clear grounds from the burrs and grind chamber after each use. Brushing out the grind path after every session is the most effective routine maintenance step for preserving burr performance and grind consistency over time.

What colours is the Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO available in?

The Timemore Chestnut C5 PRO manual coffee grinder is available in Black and White.
