| Description | If you’re looking for more control, more precision, and a grinder that feels like a serious step up, the Timemore C5 is exactly that. It builds on everything Timemore does well, but pushes further into grind accuracy and consistency. Whether you’re chasing clean, expressive filter coffee or dialling in espresso, the C5 gives you a level of control that makes a real difference in the cup. Why the C5 Stands Out Higher Precision, More Control At the core of the C5 is Timemore’s S2C-042-III burr set, paired with a finely tuned adjustment system that allows for 0.031mm per click with 48 steps per rotation. What that means in practice is simple: More precise adjustments Easier dial-in More consistent results You’re not guessing your grind anymore, you’re controlling it. Consistent, Balanced Extraction The C5 is designed with a longer grinding path and a burr profile aimed at producing both clarity and balance. This helps reduce uneven extraction, giving you a cleaner, more predictable cup whether you’re brewing espresso or filter. With a full metal construction using 420 stainless steel and aluminium alloy, the C5 feels solid and stable in hand. The addition of dual-axis bearings keeps the grinding motion smooth and controlled, even when working through denser beans. The numbered adjustment dial makes it easy to find and return to your preferred grind setting. Once you’ve dialled in your recipe, you can come back to it without second guessing. Timemore C5 Grinder Features: S2C-042-III stainless steel burrs (42mm) for consistent grind quality High precision adjustment: 0.031mm per click, 48 steps per rotation Dual-axis bearings for smooth, stable grinding All-metal body (420 stainless steel & aluminium alloy) for durability Textured engraved grip for improved handling… | The Varia VS3 (Varia Stepless 38mm) Electric Grinder features a refined user experience, CNC machined precision parts, a 76.5° acute angle geometry, and precision stepless grind adjustments. With its fine pitched burr thread and stepless adjustments, there is no need to purge the grinder between different grind settings or different coffees, due to the grind retention of less than 0.1g for a 10g dose. Experiment with grind size with the stepless adjustment system, with virtually endless particle size settings. Suitable for fine espresso grind through to pour over and cold brew, the Varia VS3 is perfect for commercial café environments and the coffee-loving home user. Features: 76.5° Sloped Geometry - Zero Retention Focus: Using this geometry allows for ideal zero retention conditions, as well as a better workflow in relation to adding coffee to the hopper, making grind adjustments, and 180° access to the dosing cup. This also means that no purging is needed between coffees. Fine Pitched Thread With 0.02mm (20microns) Of Relative Burr Shift Per Increment - Precision Stepless Grind Adjustments: The stepless adjustment is operated by turning the hopper in the desired direction, achieving virtually endless particle sizes! Each shift of the burr represents a 20μm relative vertical burr shift or 0.02mm per increment. Hopper capacity of 30g. Refined User Experience: A minimalistic approach to the user experience allows for an expression through fine details. Integrated magnets connect the hopper lid with the hopper, as well as the base to connect with the dosing cup. Non-slip silicone feet are also installed on the base of the VS3. CNC Machined Precision: The grinder features a die-cast, space-grade aluminium alloy body and all critical parts are CNC machined (Computer nume… |
