Timemore Bricks 01S – versatile coffee grinder in a compact format

The Timemore Bricks 01S combines a powerful grinding mechanism with a particularly compact design. Whether for espresso, Moka, or pour-over, the electric coffee grinder offers a wide range of settings and can be flexibly used for different brewing methods.

With its clean, geometric design and robust metal housing, the Bricks 01S blends into modern coffee setups. Its footprint is just 10.2 × 15 cm – so it takes up very little space on the worktop.

The grinder has also been recognized for its design: The Bricks 01S is one of the Best 100 of the GOOD DESIGN AWARD.

40 mm S2C burr set for espresso and filter coffee

Inside is the 40 mm S2C-040-EI stainless steel conical burr set. Timemore has designed it for different brewing methods.

For fine espresso grinds, the burr set is intended to produce a higher proportion of fine particles, thus supporting a bold coffee with full body. For coarser pour-over settings, the manufacturer describes a lower formation of fine particles, which is intended to favor a clear and nuanced cup.

This allows you to switch between different brewing methods with a single grinder.

150 grind settings in 10-µm increments

The Bricks 01S offers 150 grind settings with an increment of 10 µm per click. This allows the grind size to be finely adjusted to different beans, recipes, and brewing methods.

The setting is made directly via the upper bean hopper, which also serves as the grind size adjuster. The surrounding scale makes it easier to read and find a selected setting.

Removable bean hopper for easy cleaning

The bean hopper on the Bricks 01S serves two purposes: It holds the coffee beans and also sets the grind size.

For cleaning, it can be removed. The outer burr is also removable, so you can more easily access the grinding chamber and remove coffee residue.

Rotary Knocker against retained coffee grounds

Like the Timemore Sculptor, the Bricks 01S also features a Rotary Knocker. A short turning motion releases coffee residue from the chute.

The mechanism supports a clean workflow and helps leave as little coffee grounds as possible in the grinder after grinding.

Magnetic catch container

The catch container has a capacity of 35 g and is aligned in the designated position using magnets.

Its raised design is intended to reduce the distribution of coffee grounds through static charge and help keep the worktop clean.

The bean hopper holds up to 40 g of coffee beans – practical for preparing single portions.

Robust construction with motor protection

The Timemore Bricks 01S combines a housing made of aluminum alloy with stainless steel and other functional materials. Inside is a 150-W motor.

Integrated safety functions detect possible blockages of the burr set according to the manufacturer and are intended to reduce the risk of accidental damage.

With a weight of 2.6 kg, the compact grinder stands stably on the worktop.
