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.
- S2C660 Grinding Burrs (Spike to Cut) – The grinder is equipped with 38 mm conical burrs made of hardened stainless steel (SUS420) with patented S2C technology. This system works in two phases: the bean is first "chopped" by the spikes in the upper part of the burrs and then finely ground in the lower part. The result is significantly higher grind uniformity and a reduction in the share of fines.
- 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.
