The Chestnut C2S is a manual grinder with a full metal unibody and a 38 mm stainless steel conical burr machined on CNC equipment. A double bearing on the central axis keeps the burr in position, and the handle keeps turning for a moment even if you let go, so you don't have to carry every turn by hand.
Coarseness adjustment runs through a nut listed at approximately 36 levels: turning it clockwise produces finer powder, counter-clockwise coarser powder. The body is 52 mm across, comfortable to hold even for small hands, and comes apart for brush cleaning, no tools required.
It's easy to take outdoors or while travelling. It suits someone who wants a compact manual grinder to use away from home too, not someone who prefers an electric grinder with automatic dosing.
