About Comandante
Comandante
Comandante is a small German engineering company that set out to answer one question: how good can a hand grinder be? Founder Bernd Braune spent years refining conical burr geometry at the company's Bavarian burr lab, and the result — the C40 — has become the reference point for manual grinding. Every grinder is assembled by hand from carefully chosen materials, from the high-nitrogen steel burrs to the beechwood and glass finishes. The philosophy is simple: build a tool once, build it properly, and let it disappear into the ritual of making better coffee.
Comandante C40 Nitro Blade Coffee Grinder MK4 in Liquid Amber
For these Premium Wood models of our beloved C40 Mk4 Nitro Blade grinder, we responsibly source trees from our local partners and carefully select the most beautiful pieces of timber for making our 100% natural veneers.
Reducing the timber to fine sheets of veneer is an amazing process because you discover the incredible natural patterns of the wood grain, which emerge on each slice. Every piece of veneer that we use on our C40 grinders is carefully chosen and carefully cut to size. Trees are such a valuable natural resource, so it’s not only important to responsibly source them, but we feel it’s our duty to do every piece justice and make sure every grinder shows the beauty of the wood!
Our passionate craftsmen and women carefully laminate the veneer onto the stainless steel grinder body, before it is meticulously sanded and polished with a natural hard wax oil. The latter is repeated several times in order to get the desired smooth and shiny surface.
It’s a particularly difficult process when you’re working with hardwoods, but for us, the result is totally worth it. This combination of the robustness of steel and the beauty and warmth of wood has always been at the heart of our design since the get-go.
It goes without saying that the visual effect is important. For us, the user’s tactile experience is absolutely crucial too. It’s a difference that you can see, feel, and even hear whilst grinding.
The iconic Comandante C40 is a robust, high-performance grinder with an advanced and pioneering burr set: Nitro Blade. And the new Mk4 generation just got even better!
Thanks to some smart material science, reworked internals and the addition of a basically unbreakable polymer-glass Bean Jar, the Comandante C40 Mk4 offers improved workflow, weight, and durability.
The burr material and design are the proud result of years of dedicated research and development at Comandante’s onsite coffee lab. Nitro Blade is unique, using a high-alloyed, high-nitrogen stainless steel with a fine martensitic micro-crystal matrix.
Burr Geometry has been optimised to achieve excellent Bean Thruput with a reduced Crank Torque and at the same time deliver a refined Particle Size Distribution for best brewing results
Comandante’s click system gives you full control for any brewing method and locks your preferred grind setting into place, helping you get the very best out of your roasted coffee and repeat the results again and again. This world-class grind performance has made Nitro Blade the weapon of choice for true coffee enthusiasts around the globe, from home baristas to World Brewers Cup champions.
