Already bought mine because of this review. Thank you! :D
Nice review. You convinced me to buy one. Thanks buddy!
You said it’s expensive for a manual grinder. Well, actually, I thought it’s insanely cheap for metal burr grinder
For sure it is! the metal vs ceramic is definitely a huge plus. I'm just saying relative to what people would normally spend on basic manual grinders! haha
Updates from the fuuuuture - It got better. Timemore replaced the plastic\brass grind size adjuster with aluminum in early 2022. There's a Max version of the C2 which can grind 30g instead of 20g and it's basically the same price as the regular. All other internals are exactly the same as the regular C2.
im in love with this grinder lol i got the silver one. :D
👍🏼
Hi! good video. I want to buy it, but im a little worried about the longevity of the grinder. Could you tell me how is it working till this days? Thank you!
THank you! It's been pretty good still. It works fine, just the paint at the bottom of the grinder where the grinded beans sit has come off, but other than that there's been no issues with grind consistency or stalling on the interior of the device!
I own the C2 for at least two years. Everything still works and I get very decent coffee with it. I've just recently given it a slight upgrade. The brass and plastic adjustment set was replaced by aluminum ones, also made by timemore company. All their new c2 models also come with this, fyi.
This actually cost $55 here in the philippines, which is at par with the porlex mini that you mentioned. There is a max version that cost $57 too. Nice video though..
How is the matte white paint? Have you experienced any chipping off?
Hi! Yes actually. I usually tap/bang the grinder on the table to get all the coffee grinds down into the bottom container so the paint at that part has come off a little bit. But not so much on the main body itself.
@@ChadtheFilipino Thanks!
you got any recommendation for manual grinder for espresso... is timemore really that bad for espresso?
No unfortunately not. I feel if you drink espresso its better to get something electric for the price you'll pay for a quality manual grinder.
The fines coming out of this were too inconsistent and i wasn't getting good even grinds at the finest levels
1zpresso JX Pro is probably something you'll need for espresso. It's four times the cost of the C2
@@ChadtheFilipino I was wondering if you could help me. I'm completely new to this. I bought this grinder, 4 different bags of freshly roasted coffee beans, and an Oxo 8 cup coffee machine, but I have no clue what setting to start with. How many clicks would you use with a drip machine? I've tried researching this, but I can only find how many clicks for a french press, pour over, aeropress, etc
how does the grind quality compare to the virtuoso?
Aside from the Virtuoso having better range for coarseness and fineness, I'd say that they're pretty close. The virtuoso has a 40mm burr while the timemore has a 38mm. So the virtuoso can go finer, and because of its electric nature + experience grinds more consistent with less fines.
Hope this helps!
Not even remotely close. The Timemore kinda sucks. There's a full review on my channel.
@@bluemystic7501 I actually watched your review and the conclusion was that the cups made from C2 ground coffee are good, just not great. this is pretty far from "kinda sucks".
@@borisvian8117 It's all relative. Compared to the virtuoso the C2 kinda sucks. Compare the C2 to a Krupps spin blade grinder and the C2 is in another league.
Could this grinder grind for Moka pot?
I think so! I've mentioned that the grind doesn't get too fine, but I Think it should be "fine enough" for a more rustic method like moka pot.
Have you tried grinding for espresso?
If yes, how long did it take you?
@@jovasheenmagbujos2173 Hi! I have not. I don't own an espresso machine, but I have tried for a moka pot. I feel like it doesn't grind fine enough for espresso and I had some issues grinding it for the moka.
Definitely meant for pourovers or french press!
@@ChadtheFilipino а на сколько кликов делали помол для мока?
Is this any good po ba for moka pot?
Hi po, pwede gamitin sa moka pot but the grind size for espresso isn't the best for consistency and size. But It will still be better than nothing!
@@ChadtheFilipino thank you po for the response
I think once you have your Virtuoso back you'll see that the Timemore is basically a toy. Good effort on the video, I'll give you a thumbs up.
Porlex mini is cute but don’t lose your time with it : it’s ceramic burr, if you really want to start - scale in your coffee journee, it’s gonna show his limits in few months
I’m not even mentioning Hario… it’s not a grinder it’s a fitness accessories to workout your arms
When you get your 15 grams of coffee medium size, grinded in less than 20 secondes with timemore, you will understand
got this for 2450 pesos a few days ago, so i guess about 50 dollars
Wow! That's cheaper than I got it here sa states.
Jomer, can you send a link here, please? Salamat! 😊
