I was sceptical about perchasing that for espresso grind, due to some reviews.I have to say that is PERFECT AND EASY TO USE.I live in Greece and I also drink Turkish coffee which is very fine grind.Like a powder.I clean the grinder all the way for first time (very easy disassembly and assembly) and turn only 1 click the burrs for the finnest selection.I put 20 grams of coffee beans dark roasted and took me 1 minute very easy and very smooth grinding without much efford at all.The coffee was perfect.NowI have to find the espresso sweet grinding spot,which I believe will be 5-6 clicks.Very happy,for the most dificult coffee grind of Turkish coffee, and perfect built overall.The case also is perfect.The only think that I would change has to be the brush.It has to be 2mm thinner so I can put it in the grinder from the opposite side to clean it and there.I couldn’t pass it through the braces of the axle that has.Overall very good quality and performance and built for only almost 80 euros.Edit: 1 month later I’m very happy with this grinder. For espresso,6 clicks from close position is the finest that my cheap Gaggia Viva can pass water through. 19gr coffee in 40gr coffee out in about 25 seconds. No sourness or bitterness in my coffee so I’m very pleased.

I ordered this grinder after trying a £35 glass and plastic grinder that I returned after it failed. I’m happy to report that this Normcore Hand Coffee Grinder is fantastic. It has 2x ball bearing and steel burs that grind coffee to perfection. It is machined from a single billet of alloy with zero plastic parts (it does have a silicon sleeve around the top section with vertical ribs, unlike the faux leather in some pics) It is better than in the pictures that don’t do it justice. Furthermore, it easily holds 30+ grams of beans and grinds extremely uniformly. It is an absolute pleasure to use and has very fine adjustment. I use it with my AeroPress Go, and can say it extracts the best from the beans to make a very smooth cup of coffee. Im very happy with this grinder, £75.99 seems like a lot, but not when it is all alloy construction + 2x bearings and includes a nice case + brush for cleaning etc.

I researched and dithered for ages over which grinder to get! I made the right choice, I have only been grinding for French Press coffee but its super fast and a pleasure to use. I may come back and update should I grind smaller for pour overs but for French Press this is excellent. Bit heavy for every day travelling but if you were staying somewhere for a week would be great.

I can see that some other customer have had issues with the tightness of the grind adjustment so perhaps there are some quality control issues but mine is perfect and I can only go by that. This is a very high quality design, beautifully machined, grinds quickly and precisely everything from over-coarse down to powder suitable for Turkish coffee. Even the case has the look and feel of a top of the range product.I gave up on trying to find a good quality electric grinder as you just cannot find anything outside the professionally priced market that will reliably grind suitably for cafetieres and espresso machines. Unless you want to make dozens of cups a day with only one grind they aren’t worth the cost and effort. Hand grinding is the way to go for a few cups a day with a top quality grind.My only complaint is that I find I’m now drinking far more coffee than ever before and can’t be bothered at all with tea!

It’s a great grinder for getting into espresso performing near to the £150+ grinders.So this is a basically TIMEMORE Chestnut SLIM shell. The titanium burs are from helor 101, The stainless burs is the original bars that TIMEMORE Chestnut SLIM. The stainless can do the espresso grind size but recruir more effort plus doesn’t give you as good off a taste profile then the titanium burr would with espresso. If you have no intention for fine grind get the stainless as you won’t notice a difference the titanium. But if you make pour over and espresso 50/50 then get the titanium or TIMEMORE Chestnut SLIM plus as it comes with E&P burr upgrade as standard.

I read a lot of reviews before opting for this and I have not been disappointed. I wanted something well made that would last, could grind fine enough for Turkish coffee and adjustable for a variety of coffee grind sizes. Very pleased. It’s excellent! Highly recommend.

Love it, feels super premium

I have no experience of similar grinders to compare this to but it’s definitely a nice bit of kit. No wobble or play from the handle, super smooth operation, receiving por screws on nicely. It’s definitely not cheap I paid 2/3 of the price for an electric grinder that lasted less than six months and this feels like it’s going to last a hell of a lot longer.
