Timemore

Timemore is a Chinese manufacturer of coffee gear - grinders, scales, kettles and brewing accessories - led by a founding team made up of James Zhan (Director of Operations), Yu Yue (Director of Design, a two-time Red Dot Award winner) and JiuShu Chen (Director of R&D). The official "About Us" page does not state a founding year for the company.

The brand's official pages, including its Japan-market site, state that Timemore runs an R&D team in Shanghai and a manufacturing centre in Guangdong province, with a complete in-house production supply chain. The company also states that it works as an OEM supplier for international brands and large Chinese companies, while keeping its own brand information on products made this way.

Timemore states it was chosen and exhibited in 2017 at the Starbucks Shanghai Roastery - the only mainland Chinese brand in the specialty coffee equipment category to be featured there - and has maintained a long-term product partnership with Starbucks since.
