Süssmund's Timemore C3S Max listing describes a hand grinder with an aluminum-alloy body, stainless-steel crank and shaft, and conical burrs. The stated weight is 473 grams, with approximately 30–35 grams of capacity. These figures help relate the grinder to a travel setup or a measured brewing dose, but remain catalogue specifications rather than BeanScene measurements.
The source describes stepped grind adjustment and gives an espresso starting reference around eight clicks back from the starting point. That reference should not be treated as a universal calibration or proof of performance with every espresso machine. The catalogue also presents filter coffee and French press as intended uses.
Compare the required dose with hopper capacity and consider how often you want to grind by hand. Confirm the exact C3S Max version and its operating instructions before applying a click reference. The listing supplies no independent particle-distribution data, measured grinding times or BeanScene tasting results, so suitability for a demanding espresso routine remains a question to evaluate.
