TIMEMORE Sculptor 078S All-Purpose Grinder - White

The Timemore Sculptor 078S is a capable all-purpose grinder that looks just as good as it performs. Built around Timemore's patented 78mm flat burrs and a variable-speed brushless motor, it gives you the kind of grind precision that turns good coffee into great coffee, whatever you're brewing. Available in Matte Black and Matte White.

The brushless motor runs with PID control for stable, repeatable performance across every session. Adjust the speed anywhere from 800 to 1400RPM to influence heat generation and grind output, then dial in one of 36 stepless grind settings to match your brew method exactly. Zero vibration and quiet operation mean the motor holds its output steady without the noise or instability that comes with lower-grade motors.

Timemore's patented rotary knocker is one of the more thoughtful details on the Sculptor 078S. A simple knock dislodges retained grounds from the burr chamber and keeps each dose clean and uncontaminated by the last. The included magnetic hopper lid and catch cup lock automatically into place, preventing spills and keeping the workflow clean and contained.

Built from aluminium alloy and stainless steel throughout, the Sculptor 078S has a finish that holds up under daily use and looks polished doing it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About the Timemore Sculptor 078S Coffee Grinder

What brewing methods is the Sculptor 078S compatible with?

The Sculptor 078S covers the full grind spectrum from fine espresso to coarse French press and cold brew. Its 36 stepless settings and variable motor speed make it a capable all-purpose grinder for espresso, pour-over, AeroPress, drip coffee, French press, and cold brew.

What is the rotary knocker on the Sculptor 078S?

The rotary knocker is a Timemore-patented mechanism built into the Sculptor 078S that dislodges retained coffee fines from inside the burr chamber with a simple knocking motion. This keeps residual grounds from contaminating the next dose and simplifies cleaning without requiring disassembly of the grinder.

What is the advantage of variable speed grinding?

Variable motor speed allows you to adjust how fast the burrs spin during grinding, which affects both heat generation and grind output. Lower speeds produce less heat buildup, which helps preserve the aroma and flavour of delicate roasts. Higher speeds work well for coarser grinds where heat sensitivity is less of a concern. The Sculptor 078S adjusts between 800 and 1400RPM, giving you an additional variable to tune alongside grind size.

What are flat burrs and how do they differ from conical burrs?

Flat burrs use two parallel, disc-shaped cutting surfaces to slice coffee grounds to a uniform thickness, producing a tighter, more consistent particle size distribution. This is particularly beneficial for espresso, where grind uniformity has a direct impact on extraction quality and flavour clarity. Conical burrs use a cone-shaped inner burr inside a ring-shaped outer burr, which tends to produce a broader mix of particle sizes. Flat burrs like the ⌀78mm 078S design in the Sculptor are generally preferred by espresso-focused brewers for their precision and cup clarity.

What colours is the Sculptor 078S available in?

The Timemore Sculptor 078S is available in Matte Black and Matte White.
