By 2018 it was the best-selling manual coffee brand in China, and its grinders, scales, kettles and drippers are now sold in more than 80 countries. The Chestnut hand grinders are the core of that reputation — precise, well-built tools at a price that makes good grinding accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chestnut C3 ESP is the espresso-tuned version of Timemore's best-selling C3 hand grinder. It keeps the C3's compact aluminium body and S2C steel burrs, but reworks the adjustment so the clicks are concentrated where espresso lives — giving you the fine, controllable steps you need to dial in a shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard entry-level hand grinder will grind fine enough for espresso, but the jump between settings is often too big to land the shot you want. The C3 ESP solves exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEspresso-Focused Adjustment (Finer Steps Where It Counts)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn internal dial with 30 clicks per rotation, tuned so the smaller increments sit in the espresso range — fine-tune extraction rather than jumping past it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUpgraded S2C Steel Burrs (Fast, Consistent Grinding)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimemore's Spike-to-Cut burr geometry pre-breaks the bean before cutting it, grinding quickly with good uniformity for a hand grinder in this class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAluminium Alloy Body (Solid in the Hand)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unibody metal housing with a textured grip keeps the grinder steady while you turn — no flex, no slipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDual-Bearing Shaft (Stable Burr Alignment)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo bearings keep the burr centred under load, which is what makes fine espresso settings repeatable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e25g Capacity (Double Shot in One Go)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoom for a full double-shot dose, with enough headroom for an AeroPress or single-cup filter when you want it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's Built For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C3 ESP is for home baristas who want proper espresso grinding without spending on an electric espresso grinder — people pairing it with a lever machine, a Flair, a Picopresso or an entry-level espresso machine with a non-pressurised basket. It also suits Turkish and moka-pot drinkers who need a fine, consistent grind. If you've found a standard C3 just too coarse in its steps for espresso, this is the model built to fix that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBurrs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUpgraded S2C stainless steel conical burrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInternal dial, 30 clicks per rotation (espresso-focused)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAluminium alloy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual bearing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 470–530g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact us for details\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrinds for espresso (non-pressurised baskets, manual lever machines and portable espresso makers), moka pot, Turkish coffee and AeroPress.
