Timemore Bricks 01S review (2026)
Timemore Bricks 01S is a electric grinder that suits Moka pot, AeroPress and Pour-over. From €283.80 delivered to Finland, prices vary by country.
A compact 150-step single-dose grinder with very low retention and fast grinding. Reviewers like it for filter and casual espresso, but fine espresso adjustment is limited and light-roast clarity trails flat burrs.
