About the Timemore Chestnut X
The Timemore Chestnut X is a manual hand grinder with 42 mm conical burrs and stepped adjustment. Its 80–980 µm range leaves Turkish partly below and Cafe de Olla, Vietnamese Phin, Percolator, and French Press partly beyond what it can reach. Each click moves the grind by roughly 15 µm.
