Description
The Timemore Chestnut C5 ESP Pro is the answer to baristas' calls for an affordable yet high-performance grinder with precision adjustment for espresso. The ESP version is based on the popular C5 series but brings fundamental improvements to the grind coarseness adjustment system, while the Pro suffix adds a practical foldable handle for better portability.
This grinder is designed for those who want to switch seamlessly between grinding for espresso and alternative methods like V60 or AeroPress, without compromises in grind quality.
Key Features of the Chestnut C5 ESP Pro Model:
- Optimized for Espresso (ESP Precision) – Unlike the standard C-series models, the ESP version features a finer thread and a modified adjustment mechanism. This allows the barista to make micrometric changes in the grind, essential for the correct "dialing in" of an espresso. Thanks to a higher number of clicks per turn, the C5 ESP Pro offers sufficient variability even for professional 58 mm portafilters.
- S2C-042-III Burr Set – The grinder is equipped with a completely redesigned 42 mm conical burr set featuring the patented S2C (Spike to Cut) technology. Compared to the previous generation with 38 mm burrs, the larger diameter delivers a more precise grind profile, improved consistency, and significantly enhanced flavor clarity in the cup. Thanks to the re-engineered internal structure and slightly widened body, it was possible to integrate larger burrs without compromising the grinder’s compact dimensions, making it an ideal travel-friendly grinder.
- Foldable Handle and Pro Version – The "Pro" designation signifies the presence of the iconic foldable crank. This mechanism is not only practical for travel, but in its unfolded position, it provides firm support and stability while grinding, which is crucial for fine espresso grinding where bean resistance is higher.
- Premium All-Metal Construction and Modern Design – The grinder body is made of high-quality aluminum alloy with a new, finely textured surface finish. Unlike plastic components in common grinders, the C5 ESP Pro is built for maximum longevity. The matte "anti-slip" surface guarantees a secure grip and comfort.
