Comandante

Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade - the new version of one of the top coffee grinders in the world. The grinder offers a wide range of grinding adjustments, stable operation and a refined design using high quality materials.

The MK4 version includes several updates:

• New engine frame shape and material - more robust, with larger capacity and no more trapped beans!
• Each grinder comes with two jars: 1 x brown glass and 1 x clear polymer-glass. The latter is lightweight, durable, and can be used as a cup!
• Reworked packaging with improved protection.

The selection of the burr material is the proud result of dedicated research and development. The burrs are made of stainless steel reinforced with nitrogen. High-nitrogen martensitic steel is extremely difficult to work with, but when finished, it is tough, highly wear resistant and has a high degree of edge retention. The burrs allow for extremely smooth and even grinding.

The grinding coarseness is adjusted by turning a knob located below the burrs. The resulting ground coffee is even both when grinding for alternative methods and for espresso, which makes the Comandante unique compared to other manual coffee grinders. In addition, due to its physical and chemical properties, the burrs are neutral in terms of the effect on the taste of coffee.

The use of high quality materials in the design add to the reliability and comfort of use. The body of the grinder is made of stainless steel. The comfortable profiled handle has handgrip made of oak.

Their sharp edges and outstanding stabilization allow for smooth and even grinding of beans, while maintaining a very low level of retention.
   
   The grinding adjustment is controlled with a convenient knob located under the burrs. The effects are extremely satisfactory, both during grinding for the alternative methods and for espresso, which makes the device unique compared to other manual grinders. In addition, due to its physical and chemical properties, the burrs are neutral in terms of the effect on the taste of coffee.

Stainless steel is the right choice to build a robust and food safe coffee grinder. That is why not only the burr is made of stainless steel, but also the body, axle, crank and micro ball bearings.
Comandante® products are aluminium free.

Where polymers can be used to improve performance, Comandante® uses BPA-free high-performance polymers that meet the strictest food-safety standards. These materials are engineered to endure years of heavy use.

Comandante® loves natural wood. The solid oak handles, produced by friends in Germany’s Black Forest, are both wonderfully ergonomic and beautiful to look at thanks to oak’s unique grain structure.
For the Classic and Premium Wood models, Comandante® craftsmen laminate a thin layer of beautiful wood onto the stainless steel body, before waxing and polishing it with meticulous dedication.

The Classic and Special Coating models use a robust and sleek powder coating – baked on at high temperature, not just painted on. Both body surfaces give you a solid grip for serious crank action.
