Timemore C3S Pro

Equipment notes

The Timemore (China) C3S Pro is a manual hand grinder and the full-metal upper configuration of the C3S line. It shares the same S2C (Spike-to-Cut) 38mm conical stainless burrs and internal stepped adjustment as the C3S, adding a foldable handle for portability. Its fine-end floor is among the lowest in the series, placing it at the widest coverage across the C2, C3 and C3S lineage. The S2C burr spikes then cuts to reduce fines and boulders, giving good uniformity for a conical. Centered on filter and reaching into immersion, its lower fine-end floor gives more headroom toward the fine zone than its siblings, though internal stepped adjustment keeps the same resolution limit for espresso fine-tuning. The foldable handle and metal body help with travel and storage. It suits travel and all-round users who want a solid full-metal build with portability and broad coverage across the filter range.
