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 C60 Baracuda Coffee Grinder in Velvet Steel
The Comandante C60 Baracuda is a robust, heavy-duty, high-performance manual coffee grinder with the biggest and most advanced burr set design Comandante's ever released.
Comandante always want to explore the limits, and they were simply curious: how big a burr set could we fit into a familiar and manageable manual grinder format? In the end, the power of the Baracuda burr set pushed Comandante to create a new grinder body.
Comandante developed a unibody construction, milled and crafted out of a single block of steel, for absolute stability and maximum drivetrain efficiency.
Creating this unibody construction out of steel is particularly challenging, but Comandante have pushed the boundaries of manufacturing techniques and quality, using processes normally reserved for high-performance motor parts.
The result is a bold and clear-cut design that perfectly supports the function.
It’s a hefty 1-kilogram hand grinder, the power of which you can feel the moment you take it in your hands.
Thanks to Baracuda’s optimised burr geometry, Comandante achieved a massive 2-3x higher bean throughput and yet a smooth grind experience that achieves a comfortable crank torque and a world-class particle size distribution. With it, you can brew delicious coffee across the full range of brew methods, from coarse settings for filter coffee down to super-fine settings for espresso and cezve/ibrik.
