Our full review

The Timemore Chestnut G1 is a manual coffee grinder built for enthusiasts who want café-quality grounds from home or on the road. At its core sits a 38mm stainless steel conical burr set, precision-milled to deliver remarkably consistent particle size whether you're chasing a bright pour-over or a rich, syrupy espresso shot. The grinder's stepless adjustment collar sits just beneath the burr chamber, allowing for micro-level tuning that lets you dial in exact grind settings and replicate them reliably every single time you brew.

Constructed with a body of anodized aluminum paired with a natural or stained wood exterior—true to its "Chestnut" namesake—the G1 balances durability with warmth and tactile charm. The wooden handle and crank offer a comfortable, secure grip during grinding, while the internal bearing system ensures smooth, wobble-free rotation with minimal effort. The grounds container is transparent, magnetic, and detachable, making it simple to see your progress, catch static-prone fines, and transfer coffee directly into your brewing vessel without mess or spillage.

Compact and travel-friendly, the Chestnut G1 disassembles easily for cleaning and packing, making it a favorite among coffee lovers who camp, travel, or simply want a clutter-free counter setup. Its all-metal internal construction—including the grind chamber and axle—minimizes retention and keeps flavor consistent cup after cup. Whether you're a home barista refining your espresso technique or a traveler unwilling to compromise on your morning ritual, the Timemore Chestnut G1 delivers professional-grade grinding performance in a compact, beautifully finished package that rewards both function and craftsmanship.
