Description
Consistency you can carry anywhere
Motorised grinders hum through beans without letting you feel the grind. The Timemore Chestnut X grinder puts that control back in your hand — a compact, foldable manual grinder built for Indian kitchens, travel kits, and café counters that demand precision without the noise.
Built around control, not bulk
The Chestnut X pairs a CNC-machined aluminium unibody with a locking grounds bin and dual-bearing shaft, so every rotation stays smooth and every gram stays where it should. At 765g, it sits comfortably on a bar or in a bag, ready for espresso one morning and filter the next.
Engineered for repeat precision
- CNC-machined aluminium unibody resists wear and keeps weight low
- Locking grounds bin stays fixed during grinding, not just resting
- Dual bearings keep the shaft true, reducing wobble on every turn
- Foldable handle collapses for travel without losing grip comfort
- 42mm S2C conical burr set holds a tight, repeatable grind curve
The Timemore Chestnut X grinder, feature by feature
CNC-Machined Aluminium Body
A precision-milled unibody built for durability, comfort in hand, and a finish that stays sharp with daily use.
Foldable Signature Handle
Carried over from the Timemore Nano, the handle folds flat against the body and locks with a click. A rubber damper at the knob base doubles as a knock tool for clearing grind residue.
S2C Conical Burr Set
A 42mm burr forged from SUS440 high-carbon stainless steel — hard, rust-resistant, and built to hold its edge over years of grinding.
Two-Stage Spike-to-Cut Grinding
The Spike stage breaks beans into uniform chunks while retaining silver skin in larger fragments for easy separation. The Cut stage refines particles to final size with consistency.
Dual Bearing Shaft
Two bearings support the grinding shaft, keeping rotation smooth and reducing the effort needed per crank.
30–35g Grounds Capacity
A locking bin sized for single espresso doses through small filter batches — enough for a home bar session without refilling mid-grind.

Home bar or café counter — where the Chestnut X fits
For home brewers, the Chestnut X grinder replaces guesswork with a repeatable grind curve for both espresso and filter, without the footprint of an electric machine. For café counters, it works as a precise backup grinder or a dedicated single-dose station where consistency matters more than speed.
The foldable handle and compact frame also make it a practical travel companion for pop-ups, competitions, and cupping sessions away from the main bar.
