Know before you buy
The C5 ESP Pro features the upgraded S2C-042-III conical burr set, which is designed for higher precision and better grind consistency. It also offers a finer adjustment mechanism specifically tuned for espresso brewing compared to the more general-purpose C3 models.
Yes, the C5 ESP Pro is highly versatile. Its 0.015mm precision adjustment allows you to dial in the extremely fine settings required for espresso while still being capable of producing the coarser, uniform grinds needed for French press or pour-over methods.
The body is constructed from durable, high-quality aluminum, providing a sturdy and premium feel. The internal components are engineered for longevity, ensuring the grinder remains stable during the manual grinding process.
The C5 ESP Pro is designed for single-dose grinding. While the exact capacity depends on the roast level and bean density, it is best suited for preparing one to two cups of coffee at a time, making it ideal for daily home use or travel.
The grinder is designed for easy disassembly without the need for specialized tools. Regular cleaning is straightforward, and keeping the burrs free of coffee oils will ensure the grinder maintains its performance over time.
