Timemore Chestnut S5 Pro Hand Grinder – Black

The Timemore Chestnut S5 Pro isn’t just another manual grinder. It’s a precision-engineered tool that takes the best of professional coffee shop technology and brings it right to your kitchen counter. Thanks to its massive 48mm burrs and micrometric adjustment, you gain absolute control over every bean. This is a grinder for those who no longer just want to drink coffee, but want to understand it and craft it in its best possible form.

Key Features and Innovations:

• At the heart of the machine are the massive TriB 048 I conical burrs with a diameter of 48 mm. This twelve-pointed innovation first compresses the bean, then pierces it, and finally cuts it with precision. The result is an incredibly clean grind profile and a minimal amount of fines.
• When developing the outer ring, the engineers drew inspiration from the aperture diaphragm in professional cameras. Each of the 90 clicks per revolution engages with a crisp click and moves the burrs by exactly 15 microns. A prominent red dot always indicates the current setting.
• Large stones usually require a motor, but thanks to the new pre-crusher, you can handle grinding effortlessly and easily with one hand. Custom bearings with a tolerance of 5 microns also keep the central axis perfectly aligned even under heavy pressure.
• The extended hopper perfectly prevents beans from spilling. The enlarged handle fits perfectly in your palm, and the iconic folding handle saves a lot of counter space.

How does it surpass the previous generation?

• 🍓 More complex flavor: Compared to the lighter and more delicate profile of the S3 model, you can look forward to a significantly fuller body, perfectly defined acidity, and richer layering of individual flavor notes.
• ☕ Ideal for espresso: While its predecessor wasn’t exactly designed for brewing a dense espresso, the S5 excels at it thanks to more precise particle distribution, allowing you to replicate your recipes flawlessly.
• 🔒 Setting Security: The outer ring now has a noticeably stiffer action. This ensures that the selected grind size stays firmly in place, so you won’t lose your setting even if you accidentally bump it or carry it in a bag.
• 🤔 And where did the number 4 go? If you’re wondering why the S3 is followed directly by the S5 Pro, the reason is purely cultural. The number 4 sounds very similar to the word for “death” in Chinese and is considered unlucky, so the brand skipped it out of respect for tradition.

Recommended coarseness settings:

• Espresso – 0 to 2
• Moka pot – 1 to 3
• Filter coffee – 5 to 8 
• French press – 8 to 9
