Timemore Chestnut X Lite Manual Coffee Grinder

About the Brand

Timemore was founded in 2012 in China with a clear goal: bring café-level grinding precision into the hands of everyday coffee drinkers. By 2018 it had become the best-selling manual coffee grinder brand in China, and by 2020 its grinders, scales and brewing tools were reaching more than 42 countries worldwide. Backed by international design recognition and a philosophy built on professionalism, aesthetics, ease of use and honesty, Timemore has grown into one of the most recognised names in home coffee equipment.

The Product

The Timemore Chestnut X Lite Manual Coffee Grinder takes the best of Timemore's flagship X grinder — its 42mm S2C880 burr set and precise step adjustment — and repackages it in a lighter, more accessible aluminium body. It's built for home brewers who want the X's grind quality without its larger footprint or price. This is Timemore's flagship performance, made attainable.

Key Features

42mm Patented S2C880 Burrs (Refined Flavour)

The 42mm burr set is upgraded from Timemore's original S2C burrs, maintaining high grind uniformity while further enhancing flavour clarity. Expect a cleaner, better-defined cup from the same beans.

24-Step Point-to-Point Adjustment (Precise Dial-In)

A stepped adjustment dial gives you 24 distinct settings, so you can move between espresso, pour-over, French press and moka pot with a setting you can return to every time.

Compact Aluminium Body (Lighter, Not Lesser)

At 600g with a 163 × 53mm body, the X Lite is meaningfully smaller and lighter than the original X, without giving up the burr geometry that made it Timemore's flagship grinder.

Textured Non-Slip Grip (Comfortable Grinding)

A textured exterior keeps the grinder secure in hand through longer grinding sessions, whether you're dosing for one cup or a full French press.

Redesigned Handle (Smoother Cranking)

An updated handle design improves grip and leverage over previous Chestnut models, making each rotation feel more controlled and less effortful.

Who It's Built For

The X Lite is built for you if you want Timemore's flagship-level grind quality without the size or cost of the full X. It suits home brewers moving between espresso and filter methods who want one grinder precise enough for both.

Flagship performance, without the flagship compromise — that's the X Lite.

Specifications

Summary

The Timemore Chestnut X Lite carries the 42mm S2C880 burr set and 24-step precision of Timemore's flagship X grinder into a lighter, more affordable package. For home brewers chasing flagship grind quality without a flagship price, it's the sweet spot in the Chestnut range.
