Timemore Air Blower – silicone bellows for cleaning coffee grinders
One squeeze of the hand, a strong puff of air, and the last particles come loose from the burrs before the next bean drops in.
The Timemore Air Blower is a bellows made of non-slip silicone with a nozzle that rotates and bends, made for coffee grinders and all the corners a brush can hardly reach.
Features
A strong puff of air
The one-way airflow design keeps coffee grounds from getting into the bellows and delivers a strong stream of air that loosens the residue.
Flexible and targeted
The 4.8 cm nozzle rotates and bends. That way it reaches into nooks and corners and cleans every spot.
Stable and secure
The non-slip grooved pattern around the bellows gives it grip and keeps it from rolling away. The flat base lets it stand upright on any surface.
Why a puff of air is enough
In every grinder, a few particles stay behind after grinding – in the chute, on the burrs, in the gaps of a hand grinder. Ground coffee releases its volatile aroma compounds into the air quickly, and whatever is left over from the day before already smells different from fresh coffee. A puff of air loosens this residue dry, without water and without you having to take anything apart.
A small thing that takes only seconds and is still part of the ritual. No espresso police: a grinder that isn't blown out every day still makes good coffee. If you like to keep your grinder clean, the Air Blower is a tool that finds a place in any coffee corner. Our opinion is one of many.

What goes with it
For anyone who wants a grinder that is affordable and precise: the Comandante C40 or a Timemore hand grinder and, for electric, the Varia VS3. If you want more: the Varia VS6, Weber Workshops EG-1 or Option-O Lagom. You'll find them all among our coffee grinders – and burrs are like engines in cars: it's subjective, there is no single best. Our advice tool helps you choose.
For a more thorough clean now and then, you'll find grinder cleaners in the collection Machine and grinder cleaning. And to get the dose right: Normcore for the compact, precise route, Acaia for an app, flow-rate display and Bluetooth – you'll find both among our coffee scales.
Frequently asked questions about the Timemore Air Blower
What is the Timemore Air Blower for?
For loosening coffee residue from coffee grinders with a puff of air, especially from corners and gaps a brush can hardly reach.
Does the Timemore Air Blower draw in coffee grounds?
No. A one-way airflow design ensures it blows out forcefully without drawing coffee grounds into the bellows.
Does the Timemore Air Blower replace a brush or grinder cleaner?
They complement each other. The Air Blower clears loose residue dry, with air; a brush sweeps off whatever clings on; and every now and then a grinder cleaner takes care of the coffee oils that settle on the burrs.
What is it made of, and how big is it?
Non-slip silicone. It is around 14 cm long, and the nozzle, which rotates and bends, measures around 4.8 cm.
Can I see the product before buying?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. It's best to check with us shortly beforehand whether the Air Blower is in store at the moment.
Roastery Tip: A clean grinder brings the freshness of the bean into the cup, unaltered. For dense, sweet espresso we like to reach for Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight – chocolate, caramel and nuts with plenty of body. If you like it full and round without any acidity, stay with Very Nutty; for a fruity experience, Wild Peach goes into the grinder. Any bean you enjoy is the right one. That is our recommendation, one of many.
