Timemore C5 ESP PRO Coffee Hand Grinder – Black
The Timemore C5 ESP PRO Coffee Hand Grinder is the ultimate travel companion for the active coffee lover. Designed with a foldable handle and high-precision espresso burrs, it delivers café-quality espresso and clean filter brews wherever your journey takes you—without sacrificing grind consistency or control.
Take your coffee ritual outdoors, to the office, or on the road with confidence.
Precision That Travels With You
Packing light often means compromising on coffee quality. Many portable grinders lack the fine adjustment needed for espresso or the clarity required for AeroPress and pour-over, resulting in uneven extraction and disappointing cups.
The C5 ESP PRO solves this by combining commercial-level burr performance with a compact, hiking-ready design. Its dedicated espresso adjustment system offers ultra-fine 0.015 mm steps, allowing you to precisely dial in manual espresso makers, AeroPress recipes, or filter brews—no matter how far you are from your kitchen.
