Description
The Timemore C5 hand grinder turns inconsistent hand grinding into repeatable, café-grade clarity.
Indian home brewers and small cafés often fight two enemies: burrs that dull fast, and grind sizes that drift click to click. The Timemore C5 hand grinder fixes both, delivering the same clean cup on day one and day one hundred.
Sharper burrs, sharper cup
The C5 replaces Timemore’s earlier burr set with a 42mm S2C stainless steel conical set — 19% larger surface, 5% more consistent particle distribution, and a 16% longer grinding path than the Chestnut C3. That extra path time separates fines from boulders, so extraction stays even as your coffee cools.
Built for daily use
- 42mm S2C-042 stainless steel conical burrs with 7 blades for sharp, consistent cuts
- Pro adjustment system: 0.031mm per click, tuned for pour-over precision
- All-metal unibody in aluminium alloy keeps burr alignment fixed under load
- Foldable handle collapses for travel without losing ergonomic grip
Every detail engineered for grind consistency
42mm S2C Burrs
Stainless steel conical burrs, 7 blades, 19% larger than the C3 with a 16% longer grinding path for cleaner separation of fines and boulders.
Pro Click Adjustment
0.031mm per click lets you dial in pour-over grind size with the kind of resolution espresso grinders promise but hand grinders rarely deliver.
All-Metal Unibody
Aluminium alloy housing holds burr alignment fixed, so grind size doesn’t drift mid-session — critical on a busy café counter.
25g Catch Cup
Silicone base keeps the cup stable while dosing 1-2 cups, no tipping, no static cling.
Foldable Handle
Collapses for travel; extends to 167mm for a full, comfortable grip at the counter.

Home bar or café counter — the C5 fits both
At home, the C5’s Pro click adjustment and 30g bean hopper suit single-cup pour-over routines where repeatability matters more than speed. On a café counter, the all-metal unibody and stable burr alignment hold up to back-to-back grinding between orders, while the foldable handle means it travels easily between outlets or pop-up events.
Timemore C5 hand grinder FAQs
Is the Timemore C5 suitable for espresso?
The C5 Pro’s 0.031mm click adjustment is tuned for pour-over. It is not built for the fine, high-resolution range espresso demands.
How much coffee can I grind in one session?
The hopper holds up to 30g of beans, yielding roughly 25g of grounds — enough for 1-2 cups per fill.
How do I clean the burrs?
Use the included cleaning brush to clear chaff and fines from the 42mm conical burr set after each session, or whenever you switch beans.
Can I travel with the C5?
Yes. The handle folds flat and the grinder ships with a travel pouch, making it easy to pack for trips or café-to-café use.
What material is the body made from?
An all-metal aluminium alloy unibody houses the burr set, keeping alignment fixed and stable through repeated use.
Built for the brewer who grinds every day
The Timemore C5 hand grinder suits Indian home brewers chasing pour-over consistency and small café counters that need a reliable manual backup. If sharper burrs, a stable unibody, and click-precise adjustment matter to your daily cup, this is the grinder to build your routine around.
