The Timemore C5 ESP isn’t for everyone. If you drink only light-roast single-origin coffees, expect some extra effort. But if you love classic espresso or moka and want a grinder that delivers champion-worthy clarity, this one fits seamlessly into your daily routine—at home, at work, or on the road.

Why Choose the Timemore C5 ESP Coffee Hand Grinder: Black

Built from all-metal components, including a SUS420 stainless steel burr set, the Timemore C5 ESP blends robust construction with precision mechanics. Its dual-axis alignment and numbered adjustment dial allow you to fine-tune your grind down to 0.015mm per click, providing superior control and reliability. Designed in collaboration with world champion barista Matt Winton, this grinder is crafted for espresso enthusiasts who demand results they can both taste and feel.

How It Works

1. Scoop beans into the flared chamber—no mess, even in a rush.
2. Set your grind: twist the dial to match your brew method. You’ll feel and hear each tactile click—no guesswork.
3. Grip the engraved, all-metal body—no slips, even with wet hands. Start grinding. You’ll notice a smooth, low-resistance spin and hear a soft, dampened sound.
4. Open the chamber and tip out grounds—ready for your espresso, moka, or pour-over, with none left behind.

Maintenance &: Best Practices

• Do not wash the grinder with water – always clean with a dry brush after use.
• Drop-out burr design allows for simple cleaning and easy access to all parts.
• Store in a cool, dry place and keep the adjustment dial free from debris.
• For light roast or dense single-origin beans, expect slightly higher resistance – the C5 ESP is optimised for traditional espresso roasts.
