Timemore Chestnut C2 / C2 Max

How to read the dial

Clicks counted from zero (knob fully tightened, burrs touching), e.g. 18. 12 clicks per full turn of the knob.

Zero: burrs touching (knob tightened clockwise until it stops)

Good to know

• C2 Max is the version Timemore still lists (marked 'Limited Stock'). Original C2 and C2 Max share burrs and click scale; Honest Coffee Guide gives identical charts for both, so this file covers both.
• 83 um per click is estimated: 12 clicks per turn on an approx. 1 mm thread. Timemore publishes 0.0833 mm/click for the same 12-click mechanism on the C3S Pro, but not for the C2 itself.
• Honest Coffee Guide's chart implies about 32 um of particle-size change per click (0-950 um over 0-30 clicks). That is smaller than the burr-gap figure above; use the method settings first.
• Honest Coffee Guide advises against settings below 6 clicks (may dull the burrs). Espresso is possible but steps are coarse for dialing in.
• Timemore lists 'approx 36 levels'. Weight is disputed: Timemore says 700 g, Espresso Gear says about 500 g.
• Capacity: Timemore says up to 30 g of beans.
