Timemore G1

Equipment notes

Timemore is a Chinese design-led coffee tool brand, and the G1 sits at the upper end of its Chestnut hand-grinder line. Built as an aluminum unibody with walnut wood accents, it carries a stainless conical burr and stands as the flagship of Timemore's manual mills. The conical steel burr cuts sharply, drawing out both aroma and body, while stepped click adjustment makes a chosen setting easy to return to. Its internal adjustment spans a wide range, from near-espresso fineness to coarse French press territory, and a wide axle with bearings keeps the burr steady during grinding for even particles. It suits the home brewer who makes a cup or two by hand each day and wants both the ritual of manual grinding and repeatable settings, along with anyone who values a well-made tool in its own right.
