| 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… | Varia’s most recent prosumer grinder is designed for coffee enthusiasts who demand precision and versatility. With its interchangeable burrs, variable speed motor and zero retention design, the Varia VS6 is a standout choice both for serious home brewers and professional baristas alike. Engineered with convenience and performance in mind, the VS6 delivers a superior grinding experience for various brewing methods. Versatility and Precision The Varia VS6 allows for an easy switch between the factory-fitted 58mm flat burrs and optional upgrade 63mm conical burrs, offering a worlds-first flexibility to suit different grinding needs. The internal adjustment system makes swapping burrs a breeze without the need for recalibration, ensuring consistent performance every time. With variable RPM control ranging from 500 to 1600 RPM, you can fine-tune the grinding speed to achieve the perfect grind distribution for your specific brewing method. Innovative Design and Functionality Equipped with active static ionisation needles, the VS6 reduces static in the chute and ensures a cleaner grind. The removable dosing chute and spring-loaded knocker also simplify the cleaning process and help dislodge any residual grounds. The grinder's 76.5-degree sloped architecture enhances its zero retention focus, minimising waste and maximising efficiency. Effortless Usability The VS6 is designed for ease of use with a multifunctional power ON/OFF button that also controls the RPM. The intuitive display shows the RPM in 100RPM increments, allowing for precise adjustments. Safety is prioritised with the automatic (magnetic) power cut-off system, which disables the motor when the hopper is removed. The removable lid and single dose feed collar add to the grinder's convenience, making it suitab… |
