Timemore Slim

Equipment notes

The Slim is a manual hand grinder from the Chinese brand Timemore, the slim-bodied filter-oriented model of the C line. It carries a 38mm conical stainless burr with rotation-based grind adjustment. Its slender, easy-to-hold shape targets portability and everyday use. Conical burrs tend to make fines and body, and the small 38mm diameter is limited in uniformity and throughput versus a large flat burr. Rotation-based adjustment allows continuous value approach, finer than clicks, but the slim body means a modest batch capacity. Its coverage centers on filter brewing such as pour-over and immersion. It suits pour-over users who value a slim grip and portability, and home brewers who grind small daily doses.
