The Timemore C5 PRO Manual Coffee Grinder in Black is a premium hand grinder engineered for coffee enthusiasts who demand café-quality grind consistency at home, at the office, or on the go.

Key Features

• Upgraded S2C Steel Burrs: Derived from Timemore's professional Chestnut series, the precision-machined S2C burrs deliver uniform particle size for cleaner extractions — whether you're pulling espresso or brewing pour over.
• Faster Grinding Speed: The optimised burr geometry reduces grinding time by up to 20% compared to previous C-series models, so your morning routine stays effortless.
• 40-Click Stepped Adjustment: Fine-tuned grind settings give you repeatable control across espresso, filter, AeroPress, and French press — no guesswork, just consistency.
• Dual Bearing Shaft Stabilisation: A double ball-bearing axle eliminates burr wobble for a stable, low-effort grind and reduced fines generation.
• Lightweight, Durable Build: CNC-machined aluminum alloy body paired with TRITAN plastic components keeps the grinder tough yet travel-ready at under 480 g.
• Ergonomic Fold-Flat Handle: The collapsible handle design makes the C5 PRO one of the most compact portable coffee grinders available — fits easily in a backpack or carry-on.
• Easy Disassembly & Cleaning: Tool-free burr removal means full cleaning takes under two minutes, preserving grind quality and flavour over the long term.

At $169.95, the C5 PRO offers an unmatched combination of precision, portability, and build quality for the serious coffee drinker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Timemore C5 PRO good for espresso?

Yes. The C5 PRO supports fine espresso grind settings and its S2C burrs produce consistent particle size, which is critical for proper espresso extraction. However, for dedicated high-volume espresso use, Timemore's Chestnut series may offer additional refinement.

How does the Timemore C5 PRO compare to the C3 and C2?

The C5 PRO features upgraded S2C steel burrs (an improvement over the stainless burrs in the C2 and C3), a dual ball-bearing shaft for greater stability, and a refined 40-click adjustment system — resulting in faster grinding, less effort, and better grind uniformity overall.

Can I use the C5 PRO for pour over coffee?

Absolutely. The C5 PRO is one of the best manual grinders for pour over brewing. Its consistent medium-to-coarse grind settings work excellently with V60, Chemex, and other pour over methods.

Is the Timemore C5 PRO worth the price?

For a hand grinder at this price point, the C5 PRO delivers exceptional value. The combination of premium S2C burrs, dual-bearing precision, durable aluminum construction, and travel-friendly design makes it a top-rated portable coffee grinder for both beginners and experienced home baristas.
