Timemore × Millab M01 Manual Grinder

Millab M01 Inconsistent grind output leads directly to inconsistent extraction. When particle distribution varies from grind to grind, cup quality varies with it, regardless of dose, temperature, or technique. The TIMEMORE × Millab M01 addresses this at the burr level: a 44mm Pineapple Burr replaces the single-stage cutting geometry of a conventional conical burr with a five-stage grinding path, reducing coffee more gradually and limiting abrupt fractures and unnecessary fines. The Pineapple Burr's effective cutting path measures approximately 60mm, around 50% longer than a conventional 44mm conical burr, and improves particle consistency by approximately 10% compared with TIMEMORE's S2C-042-III burr. This lets the M01 approach the effective cutting distance of many 64mm flat burr grinders while keeping the compact form factor of a hand grinder, which matters for counter space, travel kits, and multi-station setups. Consistency also depends on what happens between grinds. TIMEMORE specifies a burr gap tolerance of 0.0725mm, paired with custom P7 bearings developed for the M01 platform, to limit burr movement and hold alignment across sessions. The external adjustment dial offers up to 100 micro-adjustments per rotation with a click-lock mechanism, so a setting dialed in for one shift will still be there for the next. Feature Summary Grind Range One complete turn of the adjustment dial covers grind settings from espresso to French press. Burr Design Five-stage 44mm Pineapple Burr with an effective cutting path of approximately 60mm. Adjustment External stepped dial with up to 100 micro-adjustments per rotation and positive click-lock retention. Tolerance Burr gap tolerance of 0.0725mm paired with custom P7 bearings for consistent alignment. Construction 51-component all-metal build with an aluminum alloy and stainless steel body. Stability and Handling Threadless swivel-lock catch cup and a silicone base for stability during grinding. Design and Engineering Five-Stage Pineapple Burr Geometry Developed through TIMEMORE's specialty grinder lab, the Pineapple Burr uses a tapered profile that spreads grinding work across multiple cutting zones instead of reducing coffee in a single stage, as a conventional conical burr does. Coffee is broken down progressively over five stages before exiting the burr set, producing an effective cutting path of approximately 60mm, around 50% longer than a conventional 44mm conical burr, and improving particle consistency by approximately 10% compared with TIMEMORE's S2C-042-III burr. Burr Tolerance and Bearings TIMEMORE specifies a burr gap tolerance of 0.0725mm, paired with custom P7 bearings developed specifically for the M01 platform. Together, these components are intended to minimize burr movement and maintain alignment throughout the grinding process. 0 Precision Adjustment Dial The M01 features an externally mounted adjustment dial built from five machined metal components. Each click locks positively into place, allowing grind settings to remain consistent between brewing sessions. TIMEMORE states the dial offers up to 100 micro-adjustments across a single rotation, providing control across espresso through coarse brewing methods without accidental movement during use. Grind Range Reference TIMEMORE's recommended starting points by brew method: Espresso 0–1.5 Moka Pot 1.0–3.0 Pour Over 5.0–9.0 French Press 8.0–10.0 These figures are starting points only. Grind settings will vary depending on coffee, roast level, dose, and recipe. Construction and Available Finishes • External all-metal grind adjustment dial • Click-lock adjustment designed to resist unintended movement • Threadless swivel-lock catch cup The body combines an aluminum alloy frame with stainless steel and acrylic components across a 51-component all-metal build. The M01 is available in Quicksilver with a carbon fibre-style grip, and Matte Black with a walnut grip.
