Fit for the job 8/10 · Features and specs 8/10 · Build and materials 7/10 · Value 8/10

#6TIMEMORE Chestnut C3S Pro manual grinder with a full aluminum body, S2C hexagonal conical steel burr and about 36 grind levels, at the top of the under-$100 range.
Fit for the job 8/10 · Features and specs 8/10 · Build and materials 8/10 · Value 7/10

- - At $95 it costs much more than the JavaPresse it replaces, so it fits a stretch budget rather than a basic one.
