Comandante Manual Grinders are designed by and made for Specialty Coffee Experts & Connoisseurs.

The Comandante C40 (MK4) with Nitro Blades is a robust high performance coffee hand grinder with an advanced burr set design. The selection of the burr material is the proud result of dedicated research and development.

Comandante refined the geometry and structure of the Nitro Blade burr to get the grind performance and particle distribution they were looking for with this Comandante grinder, which worked best with brewing fresh ground specialty arabica beans.

Manufacturing a Nitro Blade is a serious engineering task which requires special tools and machinery, excellent craftsmanship and lots of experience. 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.

With a perfect balance of aesthetic and engineering, the Comandante C40 (MK4) is in league of its own when it comes to hand grinders. Consider picking up a burr oil care kit for better maintenance of this grinder.
