The Chestnut C3S MAX Black is a Timemore hand grinder designed for the demanding home brewer. This sleek black grinder gives an even grind for everything from espresso to pour over. The Chestnut C3S MAX Black is a step up from an ordinary hand grinder.
The heart of the grinder is the patented S2C 660 conical burr, made of high-carbon SUS420 steel. At 38 millimetres in diameter, the burr is large by hand grinder standards. That means faster, more precise grinding and fewer fines in the cup. The end result is brighter, cleaner coffee.
Adjustment is done with a precise click mechanism that gives clear feedback at every step. The C3S MAX also has bearings at two points. This keeps the axle stable even when grinding hard, lightly roasted beans. The result shows directly in the cup as an even extraction and a clean flavour profile.
The body is made from a single piece of aluminium alloy, which makes it both light and durable. It weighs only about 800 grams. The bean chamber holds about 30 grams of coffee, so one fill is enough for several servings. That makes the Chestnut C3S MAX Black a great choice for travel too.
The folding handle is one of the best details of this grinder. In use it is sturdy and gives a good grip. Folded, the grinder takes up far less space in a bag or cupboard. So the Chestnut C3S MAX Black is easy to bring along on coffee trips or to the summer cottage.
In Haimoo Roastery's equipment range you will find specialty coffees that suit this grinder and bring out the best aromas. According to the manufacturer's own site, the Chestnut C3S MAX Black is also compatible with every brewing method. You can find more information on Timemore's website.
The Chestnut C3S MAX Black is a complete package that makes no compromises. It brings together a precise burr, a stable axle and a durable body in one clear package. If you are looking for a hand grinder that grows with your skills, you have found the right one.
