Know before you buy
Yes, the C2S is capable of grinding fine enough for espresso. However, because it uses a stepped adjustment system, you may find it slightly less precise than dedicated espresso grinders when dialing in very specific extraction times.
The hopper has a maximum capacity of approximately 30 grams of coffee beans. This is generally enough to brew a large mug of pour-over or two smaller cups of coffee.
Not at all. The unit is designed to be taken apart easily without the need for specialized tools. We recommend using a soft brush to clear out residual grounds after each use and performing a deeper clean every few weeks.
Yes, the dual-bearing system significantly improves stability. It keeps the burrs perfectly aligned during the grinding process, which results in a much more uniform particle size compared to entry-level grinders.
Absolutely. Its compact 5.79-inch height and durable stainless steel and aluminum construction make it an excellent choice for travel. It is robust enough to handle being packed in a bag without the risk of fragile parts breaking.
