    I am happy with my Timemore C3. So far it gives a consistent grind for my pour-over coffee and no retention or waste of coffee.

      A Solid grinder!
      Best budget grinder in my opinion :)

    Thanks a lot for the comparison. I own the C3 and happy with it, my choice confirmed!

    Not worth the extra imo, I'd feel better using the c3 as a travel grinder, it's small, robust and less likely to break over a plastic grinder. Plus you can buy 4 of the for the cost of 1 commandante.

      Exactly, he is probably sponsored by commandante.

      Timemore has an aluminum body which is lightweight and quite cheap. As you may know, aluminium easily gets dented by blows, for example, if it drops to the ground. Sure, it won’t break like plastic, but as the thread that joins both pieces of the body is built of aluminium, if it gets dented you may have to buy a new one.

    Is C3 good enough for espressos? Thanks.

    • @DenesLudmany
      @DenesLudmany 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes, definitely. I’m using it for espresso es well. It does a really good job. It can grind extremely fine, the first 6-7 clicks are not even recommended for espresso. Espresso grind begins at around 9 clicks. It’s a fine thing to own as well 😊

    @roberthamilton606 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Not rich, so I need a grinder good enough to make reproducible coffee at a budget price, that's the Timemore C3 for me. I need excellence at a budget price, so C3 comes the closest. I'd rather spend the money over time on better coffee beans.

      I am a big fan of the C3 and my opinion on the Comandante Trailmaster has since changed ;) Video should be coming soon

    Can the Trailmaster fit in an aeropress?

    • @TheBasicBarista
      @TheBasicBarista  ปีที่แล้ว

      I only have an AeroPress go with me and it does not fit.
      Someone will have to try this with a full sized AeroPress tho

    • @HipekPhotography

      No. Porlex Mini will fit standard size AeroPress

      Can confirm the Trailmaster fits inside the brew chamber of a standard aeropress.

    I'm happy with my c3esp. Returned my comandante because they couldn't even make correctly logo on my wood grinder. Also it's so damn expensive and they don't even give accessories like timemore. I would forget the stupid plastic comandante uses on top which is getting bad look after short time, joke. Trailmaster looks like paper roll in bathroom

      Isn’t it the only reasonable quality burr *plastic* hand grinder?
      I guess it should be more expensive because so ‚special‘ 😅 but then nobody would buy it for *outdoor* 😂

  • @barrywebber100

    Seems to me the Timemore aluminium case will be more durable when travelling than the all plastic case.
    Comandante grinders appear to be way over priced due to hype and an element of coffee snobbery and elitism.
