In short... builds muscle for espresso.... easy to use for anything else.

I have not used it much as I gave it to a friend that has been waiting for a Sette 270 he ordered for his Gaggia....

When I did the test, it took a long time, compared to my Helor 101, to grind for espresso...... outside of that, for coarser grinds, it is fast.

yeah.. have read the Timemore C2 is not great for espresso as the range of settings is too small.. and too much work.. . too bad.. seems only the Lido, C40, Kinu and maybe a Knock are good for espresso..

Just used a friend's Kinu Phoenix to grind 18g.. butter smooth.. great machine.. but $350 here.. well worth it if it is used a lot.. but I'm only looking for an occasional use travel espresso grinder..
