Overview
The Timemore Chestnut C3 ESP adds more clicks in the espresso range to the C3, providing finer adjustment resolution for espresso dialing. This addresses the main limitation of the standard C3 for espresso use — the step spacing being too wide for precise shot tuning. The ESP variant makes the affordable C3 platform genuinely capable for espresso, opening up budget-friendly hand grinding for espresso enthusiasts. Combined with a manual espresso maker, the C3 ESP enables a complete espresso setup for a fraction of the cost of electric alternatives.
The Timemore Chestnut C3 ESP features a 38mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. Grind retention is approximately 0.1g — virtually zero retention, making it excellent for single dosing.
At $85, the Timemore Chestnut C3 ESP is aimed at budget-conscious coffee lovers just starting their espresso journey. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed). As a hand grinder, it's completely silent, portable, and gives you a meditative morning ritual.
The Timemore Chestnut C3 ESP is weighing 0.4 kg, manufactured in China. Its footprint measures 47 x 47 x 150 mm (W×D×H).
