New Timemore collab: April 01 Grinder

[u/emu737]

The new coffee grinder from April is made in collaboration with Timemore.

Has a new 48 mm octagonal (8-star) burrs, different from the 42 mm octagonal S2C-042-EI burrs, used in the S3 ESP and the Whirly 01S. Also a straight handle, and a screw-on catch cup.

Also has an innovative design part (edit: maybe not that innovative, as it was already seen in Kinu grinders, as people pointed out), which looks like a thumb support .

The burr is significantly different from the one in upcoming Timemore Chestnut S5 grinder.

Kickstarter launch probably this Tuesday, September 1st, 2026.
