I’ve been using this Chestnut ESP Pro hand grinder for about 6 weeks. I use a manual grinder for noise concerns. It solves them.
Dial is small and hard to see. Seems to be some retention.
Overall I’m pleased and it works well but there are a few thoughts I’d like to share.
While infrequent, it is possible to not hit the exact grind setting for your espresso beans. You can get on either side of the exact grind. Usually you can adjust with more or less of a dose.
When taken apart for cleaning and then put back together it’s random whether the dial is aligned properly. So it just means if #0 ends up on #2 then it pushes all the other settings up higher. At least that’s what it seems to be doing on mine. So I have an alignment issue. I’ve taken apart now about a half dozen times. It throws off my previous recipes for grind settings. It’s not a big deal to dial in again though.
Also I had some instances with medium roasted and slightly below medium with very hard to grind beans. I saw a suggestion to grind course then regrind finer. I have an ok electric pour over Capresso grinder and tried that method and it worked well. But it’s not something I want to make a habit out of.
The fold down handle is better for my table top than the one that sticks out and can’t be folded down. But there are instances when it will open up when you don’t want it to and can give a pinch to your hand. I saw one suggestion to add some sort of securing mechanism. Maybe it’s a good idea but not a deal breaker at all.
Rarely but more than once the magnetic top has come off. It’s not enough to be a big deal though.
I like the size of the grinds catcher. it fits well into my dosing funnel.
To me the coffee tastes good. I’d like to compare with a different hand grinder or maybe an electric grinder.
The grinder works very well for my uses so I would recommend it if you’re looking for a reasonably priced hand cranking espresso grinder.

I upgraded to the TIMEMORE Chestnut C3S PRO from one of the lighter-weight stainless steel type hand grinders because the grind was uneven and the wrench-style handle was always slipping off when I was trying to grind and hitting me. Although I could have purchased an electric model for the same price, I really enjoy the experience and ritual of grinding my own beans for morning pour over coffee dripped in a Chemex. Gets the body moving and uses natural energy!
This unit is impressive. It’s built like a tank with the precision of a Nikon lens! It feels like you are assembling high end camera equipment as you screw on the threaded aluminum alloy base. The handle sits solidly on top so it will not slip off. The foldable handle works smoothly though I don’t have much use for that in the home kitchen. The textured base makes it easy to grip and feels like a the zoom on a camera lens.
Beans grind very quickly and smoothly. It works better for me when hand held in the air rather than resting it on a surface. The grind quality is excellent…consistent in size with very detailed increments available on the dial. Although the instructions recommend using 13-16 clicks to get pour over grind, I found that was too fine and clogged up the Chemex. I have settled at 21 which drips well and delivers good results for my beans. The finer settings for espresso result in extremely smooth and even grinds.
I read reviews of previous models which were generally positive but I was scared away by the numerous reports and photos of the composite plastic top cracking (the only plastic part in those models). The manufacturer took that feedback and now uses aluminum alloy for the top on this new model. So the entire unit is made of some form of alloy or steel. No plastic anywhere. This thing is built to survive World War III.
The one negative and it’s not a big one which is the trade off that comes with being built “like a tank” is it is heavy. Weighs about a pound. This does not impeded using it, in fact it might help keep it stable. But it feels a bit excessive especially in how thick the body walls are. For those who want to take it on the go, it will add weight to your load. If you are committed to hand grinding and appreciate a finely instrumented and constructed tool and have a bit of cash to spare, I highly recommend this grinder.

Let me start by saying that I am an entry-level espresso enjoyer. I don’t own a $600 machine, and I haven’t spent double that in accessories like some folks have, but I could see that as a possibility considering my experiences thus far with this grinder and my Stilosa 15. If you’re looking for an excellent, entry-level grinder, I find it difficult to find another for this price point.
While dialing in is a constant process depending on multiple factors, like coffee age and roast level, this grinder generally allows for easy adjustment. However, while trying to dial in between the 2 suggested grind levels and, in my experience, the 3-4 that you can get away with if you’re lucky, isn’t very precise for getting the best possible shot.
That being said, for $90, the Chestnut CS3 PRO is a steal for a grinder capable of as consistent and as fine as a grind as it can give you. If you’re looking for an enthusiast-level grinder with NASA-grade consistency, then I’m sure you’re probably not even reading this review. But if you’re hoping to start your journey into making espresso and making it cheaper than the cafe while blowing their quality away, then this grinder is for you.

I’m new to grinding my own coffee, so I don’t have anything to compare this to, but I can say it’s very easy to turn the crank, and the coffee looks pretty evenly ground. I’ve just started making pour over coffee, and I drink one big cup. This grinds the perfect amount of coffee for me. I’m no gourmet by a long shot, but even I can tell the difference in freshly ground and pre-ground. I use it every day. Very solid and seems well made. I really like the green color, too.
