Chestnut C2S Manual Coffee Grinder Capacity 25g with CNC Stainless

The Chestnut C2S is a hand grinder built around a CNC-machined stainless steel conical burr set. Its internal adjustment mechanism changes grind size without removing the catch cup, while double bearing positioning keeps the central shaft aligned during rotation. The hopper holds up to 25 grams of whole beans, enough for a generous French press batch or several smaller brews.

Because the burrs are conical and the axle is stabilized at two points, the grinder produces a relatively consistent particle distribution across coarse settings. That consistency matters for immersion methods like French press, where uneven grounds can lead to both under- and over-extraction in the same cup. The manual crank gives the user direct control over speed and resistance throughout the grind.

The body is sized for countertop storage and travel, with a slim profile that fits alongside other brewing gear. Its components disassemble for routine cleaning, and the stainless steel burrs resist corrosion with normal use. For someone who prefers a hands-on routine and wants a dedicated coarse grinder for French press, the C2S offers a straightforward, self-contained option.
