Key features

- Internal stepped grind adjustment
- Double-bearing axle for stability

- Supplied with carry case and cleaning brush
Pros
- Strong grind quality for the price
- Light and genuinely portable
- Silent compared with electric grinders
Cons
- Manual grinding takes effort at espresso-fine settings
- Original C2 lid is plastic, later C2S/C3 models moved to all-metal
Small-space suitability
Hand size, stores in a drawer or its carry case, and needs no power or counter footprint.
Buying considerations
- Distinguish the C2 from the newer C2S, C3 and C3S, which are different products
- Espresso grinding is slow, so consider a stepped electric grinder if espresso is the priority
- Capacity is modest, around 20-25g, suited to one or two cups at a time
Maintenance notes
Brush out the burr chamber regularly; most parts disassemble tool-free for cleaning.
