With their new flagship model, the Chestnut S3, Timemore catches up to competitors like 1Zpresso. And they do it with a bang. The logical evolution of the S2C burr with the designation 890 brings even more consistency and thus taste stability to the grinding result and, consequently, to the aroma of the coffee. This development will particularly excite lovers of bright, demanding, and complex filter roasts.
In terms of craftsmanship, Timemore, as usual, plays in the Champions League of hand grinders: Made entirely of high-quality aluminum with a wonderful feel, Timemore foregoes any plastic components in this top model, which can even be found in much higher-priced models, such as the Comandante C40 models.
Contrary to what one might expect, this does not significantly affect the weight of the hand grinder: it weighs 700 grams, making it absolutely competitive in terms of lightweight construction.
Another highlight of the S3, which has become established in top-class hand grinders, is the comfortably located external adjustment ring. 90 individual clicks, each providing a difference of 15 microns (~0.0015mm), ensure maximum precision and ample adjustment options.
The patented and established folding handle of Timemore's Pro-handle is, logically, also used in the new flagship. This ensures secure and space-saving storage at all times. Whether in the home barista corner or in a backpack on the go.
