Timemore Nano Grinder Review: possibly the BEST hand grinder?

[@Eightouncecoffee]

Great review, as ever, and thanks for the link! Maybe we'll have to send you some newer Timemore grinders that, at the very least, deal with the volume issue :)

[@amcwilliam]

Yes yes and yes!

[@rommelreal9114]

This is also my go-to grinder for backpacking and camping! The 15g capacity was an issue to me but eventually I got used to it. I bring it with my Trinity Zero.

[@abdullahbinkulayb8683]

Thank you so much for this review and we really enjoy it. You are an amazing person.

[@mr_glasses]

I bought a different, cheaper Timemore Chestnut that has a bit more plastic. It cost me about the same as my Porlex mini but is so superior. I love it. Super consistent grind, it has the same outer body as yours and I've managed to grind up to 25gr of coffee! Best coffee decision I've made.

[@daisukevideo]

There are various coffee grinders! I also use a coffee grinder to enjoy morning coffee every day. The video was very interesting. Also, I will come to play ♬ with love from Japan :)

[@totllbiscuit]

Would you prefer this over the Knock aregrind?

[@evajo8196]

I want to buy this grinder this week, thanks for the video!

[@alexcheng282]

How does it fit in the aeropress with the handle sticking out?

[@beaniemac83]

Great video thanks for sharing, hope to pick one of these up soon. I have a cheaper hand grinder that goes the job, but I always wonder what the likes of this more expensive one will do in comparison. I drink coffee on the finest setting my current one does and brew it using the Aeropress, but the grind is still a bit on the larger side so I’m probably losing a lot of flavour

[@manublond118]

Great review thanks!!! I think I'll buy one but i have 2 questions: - I have a Moka express , do you know around wich grind size i need to start for Moka pot? - I saw that the C2 version has more capacity (25grams) , also the cheapiest and not big as the Slim version. On other hand C2 is more plastic made and not "travel" fun toy as the Nano. Wich one do you think its better to buy between those 2 ( Nano/C2) ? Thanks in advance.

[@ahmed007Jaber]

great review. is it better than the comandante? would u pick it over the comandante? and why

[@BonEE008]

hello I've read/seen somewhere that they had issues with misalignment .. is yours ok?

[@JustinJackson]

I love camping coffee ⛺️ ☕️

[@turbolevo8703]

The handle mechanism is actuated by a spring that sits inside the outer sleeve NOT a magnet. The only magnet on the grinder is inside the pommel. I’m surprised you didn’t realise this. The spring can clearly be felt when pulling back the sleeve to collapse the handle.

[@cheshire_]

currently 160, but 205 for a titanium burr If I dont find any other grinder in that price range, that holds at least 20g, Ill get this one :D

[@StaticCamperVan]

Nice review 👍🏼

[@mariusjosiahapostol477]

Its just priced at $120 here in the Philippines

[@Horarik]

How would you define each grind size from 6 clicks to 24?

[@roxgirl44]

Awesome review! I'm looking to upgrade from my cheap $20 grinder from amazon. Sadly it looks like this hand grinder is sold out everywhere online 😭 I'm not sure how long to wait but hopefully it will be soon.

[@amcwilliam]

If you live in Canada or US connect with me at ratiocoffee.ca I’ll gladly ship you one through our online store. Thanks for watching!

[@cjpulsifer]

@@amcwilliam Yo, is this still possible!? I've been looking for one of these, too! Or an Aergrind, but those seem even harder to get. Also hi! :)

[@amcwilliam]

cjpulsifer Hey! I thrive I’ve got one... I need to check at shop and am currently away. Will get back to you ASAP!

[@roxgirl44]

@@amcwilliam Oh crud no way! I can't believe I didnt see your reply sooner 😭 I ended up getting a different grinder but appreciate the shout out. I actually live in BC so that would have been an amazing thing if only I saw this sooner. You're a great guy

[@MrkOnYoutube]

What would you prefer Timemore Nano/Nano plus vs 1Zpresso Jx for V60 grind size? Which one is more consistent and less fine dust?

[@mightymightyironhead]

I am a dealer for 1Zpresso. The JX is much better than the Nano at all grind sizes and is very consistent with very few fines right across the grind range. The JX does not have the fine adjustments that the JX-Pro has, so is not considered an proper Espresso grinder. Actually the JX can grind Turkish grind size if you want to work a little harder. I personally would say that even the cheapest 1Zpresso grinder, the Q2 would match the Nano and is very close to the functions of the Nano, but the Q2 is a lot cheaper than the Nano. I think that Timemore rely on people buying the extra burr set for Espresso, because like i already said, this is a step adjustment and those steps are far too big for dialing in a decent Espresso. I am not sure what Espresso machine Andrew used with the Nano, but because this grinder is a step grinder and does now have any fine adjustment steps, its no guarantee that i am correct, but i would am very confident its was a pressurised porta filter not a None pressurised porta filter, So technically not a proper Espresso.

[@ToddNeville]

Do you have any experience or comments with the Nano vs the Nano S?

[@thehairlesspersian3273]

Can it grind for Turkish and French press??

[@amirulakmal2310]

It can..also can grind as fine for moka pot.but not espresso fine.

[@thehairlesspersian3273]

@@amirulakmal2310 excellent as I travel with a small moka pot typically, so this seems to be the compact but quality hand grinder I’m looking for.

[@mightymightyironhead]

@@amirulakmal2310 yes Timemore market this grinder as being an Espresso grinder. They even say that in their manual. But they dont explain that you have to pay nearly $50 extra for the coated burrs. Also what kind of fine adjustment does the coated burrs have? I dont see this information anywhere. Its ok saying that the burrs are coated and are sharp, but if you dont have fine adjustment, you simply can not dial in a good extraction for an Espresso.

[@amirulakmal2310]

@@mightymightyironhead agreed..for me, i tried 10 clicks but too coarse with fast extraction, 8 clicks too fine and choke my basket, 9 is ok but slightly coarse. After changing to JX-PRO(from your ofcourse haha), i can dial in pretty easily and having my self a wonderful cup of espresso with my flair.

[@mightymightyironhead]

@@amirulakmal2310 yes the JX-Pro is much better. Also those extra fine adjustments are great for Espresso dialing in. The Nano can handle a pressurised porta filter, but so can a Hario Mini slim and the much cheaper 1Zpresso Q2. Those coated burrs are ok for taste development and burr life, but if you can not dial in a decent Espresso or use a None pressurised porta filter, then its not really an Espresso grinder in my opinion.

[@yoloyo2014]

I got this grinder for less than 100usd in hong kong LOL

[@bowieknife]

How is it? Any feedback?

[@dirgamuhammad1142]

Does the difference of price between the timemore vs porlex mini really worth it?

[@whoami724y]

porlex is basically those cheap ceramic burr grinder but upgraded a lil bit, timemore is waay waaay better.

[@michaelb9479]

Saw a James Hoffman hand grinder comparison review today, he did not like the Porlex. At all.

[@edbee8508]

Is the capacity limited by the hopper, the grinds chamber, or both?

[@fractal9449]

I know this is an old comment, but it’s both, I’ve got the nano and the slim and both the hopper and grind chamber hold 15g (nano) and 20g (slim)

[@codeezy__]

I can see foreign tsa thinking it’s a flash bang or grenade if some sort. Ugh

[@ekjellgren]

Why is it more expensive than the Slim, is it better built?

[@SiopaoSauc3]

Stainless steel burrs on bearings vs. ceramic. Stamped steel vs. machined with knurled finish. Magnets.

[@-ls3n97]

It's about 70 bucks in China.

[@aspartame_xu]

120-150 USD in China

[@ekjellgren]

That coffee didn't look that uniform at all!

[@billyjack3580]

Evert Kjellgren The grounds that the camera pans over consists of a small mound from each click setting.

[@worldrecipeoflife3806]

the grind doesn’t look uniform 🧐
