Timemore C2 vs Krups F203 Electric Spice and Coffee Grinder

A nice entrance grinder is a Timemore C2, which costs about 60$, depending on your location (I can buy it now from AliExpress for 45$ including delivery). If it's too much for you, then just gift a sole Aeropress with ground beans, and if your someone would like, one can buy the grinder later. In general – yeah, freshly grinded beans are significantly tastier. Upd: consider also kitchen scales, better with 0

When emptying, gentle taps will clear the spice off the blades - Avoid the temptation to try parmesan blocks or bread in this. This machine was not designed for moistness at any level. - Other ideas: Mustard powder, white peppercorn powder (great in soups), coriander-cumin mix (aromatic in many Indian dishes), nut meals (please roast dry first), fennel seed powder (a friend suggested a heavy pinch of this for an excellent pizza sauce).

I recently bought some coffee beans (Congo) from Costco, and it's a medium dark. I just brewed some now, at a course setting using my Timemore C2 and brewed for 13 hours at room temp. It tastes so vile, like burnt and ashy. I drank if after putting it in the fridge for a few hours

This can do and you can do a good course. Medium and fine grind with this. Obviously it's not going to be as good as the as the burr grinder, but you ...

Simple design, seemingly sturdy material and assembly. The max version can hold about 5TBS of beans, and in my experience loose grounds and bean volume are about the same. Grinds in a reasonable amount of time. Mine came with a fabric storage pouch and cleaning brush

I love the smell of fresh coffee brewing in the morning or pretty much any time of day. I admit it's really easy to get the already ground stuff, but ...

Had a skerton pro on order and cancelled at the last minute after a look at r/coffee. Went with the Timemore C2. Excellent for the price. Great grinder for that sort of budget

The prices on this item vary to a ridiculous amount I have since discovered. I have seen it priced from below $10 to over $60. This one was easy and convenient, free shipping, came quickly and was new in a new, unscarred box that would be suitable for a gift, so I am not disappointed, however if you are minding your pennies and not in a hurry, you can save a bob or two by comparison shopping. The plastic making up the lid is soft and brittle

It’s a satisfying activity to grind enough roasted beans for a cup while the water boils. Though the static cling of the small bits of coffee make this a bit more challenging to clean, it's not difficult. Excellent materials and it feels nice and solid while grinding. Relatively quiet so I don’t stir up everyone sleeping or cause a cattle stampede (cue the scene from “City Slickers”)

I like the look and feel of it, and the price is reasonable even I only use it for grinding coffee beans. If you want to grind herbs though, you might want to look for another product.
