Comandante C40 Grinder – Black

Comandante C40 MKIII Nitro Blade – considered by many to be the best manual grinder of the world. The device offers a wide range of grinding, stable operation and refined design with the top-quality materials.

The burrs are the result of research and the implementation of improvements to the previous version of the grinder. They are made of stainless steel reinforced with nitrogen. 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.

Comandante is also a unique design. The use of high-quality materials results in the reliability and comfort of use. The body of the grinder is made of stainless steel and coated with a thin layer of wood veneer. Comfortable profiled handle ended with oak handgrip. The grounds tank and the additional tank are made of thick glass and hold 40 grams of coffee each. The plastic used in the production is 100% food safe. The whole makes a perfectly compatible structure.

PRODUCT FEATURES

• One of the best professional hand grinders for coffee – with the C40 Nitro blade, Comandante has once again stepped up its proven quality. The mill’s grinding gear is 100% stainless steel and was manufactured using a patented method. The result: an extremely durable material with knife steel quality.
• The edges of the grinding discs are sharpened once more after hardening and ‘cut’ the coffee beans. Thanks to the unique grinding gear technology, the mill produces an extremely precise and uniform milling result with as good as no fine coffee dust at all levels of grinding.
• The power distribution during grinding is ideal, a double ball bearing makes the crank easier to turn. It is also evident here that professionals were at work. The Comandante development team places great emphasis on material expertise and attention to detail. The outcome is a hand grinder made in Germany, which impresses with its finely tuned technology.
• The heart of this mill is the grinding gear with a high nitrogen content, martensitic stainless steel with a high hardness grade (approximately 58 Rockwell) and extreme toughness for a high degree of edge retention. Extremely sharp; Z blades sharpened individually after hardening. Grinding gear geometry. Extremely uniform grinding result. Grinding speed approx. 1 bean/turn.
• Enclosed double-mounted axle with stainless steel ball bearings. Removable crank knob made from oak wood, fixed to the handle by means of a pressure lock. The crank is secured to the axle magnetically. All plastic parts made from Eastman Tritan Copolyester.
