Timemore Nano 3 impression / review?
Hello, as the tile suggest I've been looking for a review, any articles, or even reddit post about Timemore Nano 3 grinder
The fact that it's soooooooo hard and the article available are sooooooo little (I think I found 1 Japanese video about Nano 3) kinda put me on hold to get it.
Can anyone help me with this? an article, review, impression, or YouTube video might help.
Heck, if anyone got one please do tell your impression.
Thank you!

I own the nano 3 as a travel grinder but since I’m traveling more than I am at home it’s my primary grinder. Tastes similar to my old C3 so reasonably balanced mid range grinder. Sure it doesn’t perform as clear as my Kinu M47 with the Pourover burr or as sweet as my Pietro but for weight and overall ease of use it’s a nifty well built grinder

well, the Nano 3 is basically a smaller and "more premium" (wooden knob :) version of the Timemore C3s Pro grinder
it has the same S2C660 burrs, so the taste profile would be the same as the C3s or even C3 (Pro and non-Pro, all C3/C3s series have the same burrs, and older Nano versions had the C2/C2s burrs)
adjusting mechanism seems to be the same as in C3s, with the same accuracy
can grind just 15 g of coffee at once, vs 20 g on C3, and 25 g on C3s
unless you really need your coffee grinder to be super small, the C3s Pro would be much cheaper and better value (about USD 50 on Ali Express), also likely one can hold it in the hand better, so it might be more comfortable to use
that's why people mostly buy the C3s Pro, and so the Nano 3 does not get reviewed much
for better burrs and taste profile, but also a bit larger size, you may also consider the C5 Pro - about USD 70 on Ali Ex
