The C5 is made for anyone chasing reproducibility, cup after cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTimemore has been working on precision burr sets since 2012. The patented S2C technology (Spike to Cut) first scores the bean and then cuts it, instead of crushing it – that results in less breakage, fewer fines, and a tighter particle distribution. Coffee Coaching Club carries Timemore in Switzerland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the C5 delivers technically\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of it are the 42 mm S2C-042-III stainless steel burrs – 19 percent larger than the 38 mm burrs of the previous C3 generation. The larger diameter creates a roughly 16 percent longer grind path and, according to Timemore, about 5 percent tighter particle distribution. In practice, that means clearer, sweeter cups with less unwanted bitterness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adjustment offers 48 numbered steps with a click pitch of 0.031 millimeters (C5 Pro); the ESP Pro variant works with 0.015 millimeters per step. The numbered steps make it easy to return to a recipe that works. The all-metal aluminum housing (⌀ 53 mm) with a textured surface sits securely in the hand, and dual-axis bearings on the central axle keep the grind low in vibration and smooth-running.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBurrs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e42 mm S2C-042-III, conical, stainless steel (patented)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjustment steps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 (numbered, with click feedback)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClick pitch C5 Pro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.031 mm per step\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClick pitch C5 ESP Pro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.015 mm per step\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCatch cup capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eca. 30 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHousing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAll-metal unibody, aluminum, ⌀ 53 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDual-Axis High Precision Bearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eca. 640 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e159 × 53 × 163,5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuited for\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEspresso, pour over, French press, moka, cold brew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy larger burrs taste different\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jump from 38 to 42 millimeters sounds small, but it has a direct effect on the cup. At the same RPM, larger burrs produce a more homogeneous particle distribution with fewer fines under 100 microns. That matters for taste, because fines extract disproportionately fast: in the first few seconds, bitter phenolic compounds already dissolve, before the desirable sugars and aromas are fully released from the larger particles. Fewer fines mean less bitterness as background noise, more clarity, and a natural sweetness – noticeable especially with light roasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who grinds by hand and wants an even, reproducible grind for espresso as well as filter.
