The Timemore C5 Pro advances Timemore’s C-series with a stiffer all metal unibody construction, a longer grinding path, and the latest S2C-042-III 42mm conical burr set for cleaner, sweeter cups. A numbered internal stepped adjustment speeds up repeatable dial-ins from espresso to French press, while dual axis bearings maintain tight shaft alignment for smooth rotation and consistent particle shape. The 53 mm textured grip is secure in hand, the XL flared funnel makes dosing easy, and the Timemore C5 Pro Chestnut manual grinder remains portable at about 159 × 53 mm, ~640 g, with a ~25 g bean capacity.
42 mm S2C-042-III Burrs: Larger C series burr set for faster, more uniform grinding and improved clarity.
Numbered Stepped Dial: Quick, repeatable settings; easier to return to a recipe.
Dual-Axis High Precision Bearings: For smooth feel and stable alignment.
All Metal Unibody: With anti slip base, textured 53 mm grip and XL funnel for easier cleaner loading.

The main difference is that the S3 offers external adjustments while the C5 Pro has internal adjustments. External adjustments provide more versatility and ease of use when switching between brew methods, making the S3 the better choice if you regularly change your brewing style. If you are looking for a lighter grinder primarily for travel and tend to brew one method, the C5 Pro is a strong option. The S3 also features higher-capacity burrs to support its wider grind range.
For espresso when using the Timemore S3 Chestnut, the recommended starting grind range is clicks 5 to 8. From there you can fine-tune based on your espresso machine, bean roast level and taste preference.
The Timemore S3 Chestnut is very close to zero retention. The burr design and internal structure are engineered to reduce friction and minimise any coffee remaining in the grinder between doses, making it a clean and consistent option for daily use.
