A compact all-metal hand grinder with 38mm stainless steel burrs and a finer adjustment pitch, so you can dial in espresso as well as filter.
Inside the one-piece metal body, which is just 52mm across, sit 38mm stainless steel conical burrs. Conical burrs are a cone turning inside a ring, which suits a hand grinder well. Timemore CNC machines them to 55 to 58HRC hardness. The ESP version has a finer adjustment pitch than the standard C3, giving about 36 grind levels, and the central shaft is held by two bearings so the burrs stay centred.
It suits you if you want one hand grinder for espresso and filter, or something that travels. The handle folds, so it packs down small.
Tip: turning clockwise makes the grind finer. For espresso, keep your dose the same and change the grind one step at a time. If the shot runs fast and tastes sour, go finer. If it drips slowly and tastes bitter, go coarser.
