Manual Coffee Grinder with Stainless Steel Burr, Chestnut Series
Guaranteed Safe Checkout
A manual coffee grinder in three model linesStainless steel burr, a grind scale and a cleaning kit with every version.
This manual coffee grinder uses a stainless steel burr to crush whole beans by hand, with no cord and no motor. It comes in C2S, C3S, C3ESP, C5 and C5 ESP versions, and the C5 versions carry a 42 mm (1.65 inches) grinding core. Every version includes a brush, a storage bag and an air blower, so it suits home brewers who would rather grind fresh by hand than plug something in.
- Stainless steel burr
- Grind scale on every model
- Brush, bag and air blower included
- Five finishes across the range
One listing, several grinders
The selector above is more than a color choice. Each option is its own model with its own core and scale, so pick the model first and the finish second.
The C2S is listed as a single item core grinder. The C3S is an all-in-one or all-purpose edition, and the C3ESP adds finely adjustable scales. The C5 pairs a 42 mm all-in-one core with a fine-tune scale, and the C5 ESP puts a precision scale on that same core.

Only the C5 versions list a core size, so the other lines stay blank rather than guessed.
Three things you get on any model
Stainless steel burr
Two cutting surfaces break each bean into pieces, rather than a blade hacking at it. The pieces come out closer in size, so they extract at a more even rate.
A scale you can read
Note a setting that tastes right and return to it with the next bag. Finer steps are listed on the C5, C5 ESP and C3ESP.
Cleaning kit included
Sweep the burr, puff chaff out of tight corners, then pack the grinder and its tools together in the storage bag.
From the box to fresh grounds
-
Unpack the kit
Lay out the grinder and its three extras. A quick puff from the blower clears any packing dust.
-
Set a starting point
Turn the scale and write the setting down. Go coarser for a long steep, finer for a short brew, then adjust by taste.
-
Load and turn
Add beans for one brew and turn the handle at an even pace until it spins freely.
-
Clean up
Tap out the grounds, sweep the burr and store everything in the bag.
Is this the right grinder for you
A good pick if
- You brew a cup or two at a time and like grinding right before you brew
- You want a burr grinder that needs no outlet
- You want a finish such as China Red or Light Ripple Green
Look elsewhere if
- You grind for a crowd every morning; the IKAPE portable electric grinder does the turning
- You need a stated burr size for the C2S or C3 lines, because the listing gives none
The details
Before you pick a version
Which manual coffee grinder version should I buy?
Choose the C5 for the 42 mm core with a fine-tune scale, or the C5 ESP for a precision scale on that core. The C3ESP brings fine adjustment to the C3 line. The C2S and C3S suit you if a regular scale is enough.
Is the burr stainless steel?
Yes, on every version. The listing names no steel grade, so we do not state one.
What comes in the box?
The grinder plus a cleaning brush, a storage bag and an air blower, on every model in the selector.
How does it compare with a premium hand grinder?
Compare burr details and adjustment, since those decide the grind. Read them on the Comandante C40 MK4 hand grinder and the IKAPE Line manual grinder, then set them beside the model you choose here.
Can I rinse the burr with water?
Keep water away and clean it dry using the included tools. Nothing in the listing covers washing the burr, so dry cleaning is the safer choice.
