Know before you buy
The S2C (Spike to Cut) patent burr is designed to spike the beans before slicing them. This process creates a more uniform grind size, which leads to a cleaner cup of coffee and more consistent extraction across different brew methods.
Yes, the C3s MAX is capable of grinding fine enough for espresso. The adjustable settings allow you to dial in the grind size precisely to match the requirements of your espresso machine.
The hopper has a capacity of 30-35 grams, depending on the roast level and density of the beans. This is generally enough to brew a large mug or two smaller cups of coffee.
The foldable handle is built with the same high-quality aluminum alloy as the rest of the body. It is designed to be sturdy and secure during grinding while providing the convenience of a compact profile for storage or travel.
The aluminum alloy body is excellent at dissipating heat. By keeping the grinding mechanism cool, it helps preserve the delicate oils and aromatics of your coffee beans during the process.
