Data from official source
The Chestnut C2S is Timemore's entry manual grinder, with a full metal unibody and a 38 mm stainless steel conical burr machined on CNC equipment. The manufacturer states a double-bearing central axis for uniform grinding, but does not specify the burr's hardness rating or which brew methods its grind range covers.
Coarseness adjustment runs through a nut the manufacturer describes as adjustable across "approx 36 levels": turning it clockwise produces finer powder, counter-clockwise coarser powder. Hopper capacity in grams is not stated, a figure missing from the official product page.
The body weighs a stated 700 g, with a 52 mm diameter the manufacturer describes as comfortable to hold even for small hands. The grinder disassembles for brush cleaning, no tools required. Being a non-electric device, it carries no power nameplate.
