TIMEMORE C5 ESP Pro Manual Grinder - Black

The Timemore C5 ESP Pro is the C-series hand grinder we recommend if you want to dial in espresso at home without an electric grinder. Its 0.015 mm step per click gives you room to fine-tune the extraction, and the same burrs grind well for filter too.

New 42 mm burrs

The S2C-042-III set is 42 mm across with seven blades, up from 38 mm on the C3. Timemore rates it 5% more consistent than the C3S, with a 16% longer grinding path. In the cup that means a clearer profile and a more even grind.

Espresso adjustment

• 0.015 mm per click
• 50 clicks per rotation, 3 rotations across the full range
• firm clicks that are easy to count
• the first 3 clicks are a buffer that protects the burrs, so the finest usable setting is 4

We recommend brew methods, not rules: the C5 ESP Pro is built for espresso, but it works just as well for V60, Aeropress or moka.

• stainless steel and aluminium unibody, etched black finish
