| Description | The Timemore C3s Pro is the gateway to quality hand grinding. The S2C conical burrs offer a surprisingly refined grind particle distribution for the price. A foldable handle and compact form make it ideal for travel or as a first manual grinder. | The Niche Zero redefined the premium home grinder market. Its 63mm conical burr runs at just 100 RPM for minimal heat, and the zero-retention design means every ground goes directly into your vessel. Stepless adjustment covers espresso to cold brew. A cult favourite among home baristas. |
