Timemore x Millab M01

Equipment notes

The x Millab M01 is a collaboration hand grinder from Timemore and its premium brand Millab (confirmed by the maker). With a metal finish reminiscent of a watchmaker's tool and a lens-inspired external adjustment ring, it stands as the top-tier precision unit in Timemore's lineup. The collaboration and the 44mm burr are confirmed by the maker and multiple reviews. At its heart is a 44mm 'pineapple' conical steel burr (SUS420, five-axis CNC machined) whose tall, elongated cutting surface lowers fines and narrows the particle spread relative to conventional conical burrs. The external ring divides into very fine micro-steps, allowing minute size changes to be set precisely and repeatably. Though conical, the pineapple geometry aims for flat-burr-like clarity, preserving the definition of acidity and aroma without losing body. It covers a wide span from espresso to filter, suiting enthusiasts who want both top-tier precision and versatility in a single hand grinder.
