The Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade Deep Purple hand grinder is considered one of the best grinders in the world. Now comes a new and improved version of the previous model (Comandante C40 MK3). The grinder offers a wide range of grind sizes, a stable grinding process, a refined design, and, of course, the highest quality materials. Its design is unique and its workmanship is impressive at first glance.


The MK4 version brings several improvements:

  • New shape and material – the MK4 is more robust, has a larger capacity, and there is no longer any risk of beans getting stuck!
  • The package contains two glass containers – 1x brown glass and 1x clear polymer glass (they are lightweight, durable and can be used as cups!).
  • Redesigned packaging with improved protection.

The grinding burrs of the Comandante C40 MK4 hand grinder are an improved version of the previous model. Thanks to extensive research, Comandante has managed to improve the sharp edges of the burrs to allow for comfortable grinding with smooth and even results. After grinding fresh coffee beans in the grinder, almost no coffee residue remains.

The click-stopgrind adjustment gives you complete control over any coffee preparation method and keeps your preferred grind setting in place. This helps you get the best out of your coffee and repeat the results time and time again. This first-class grinding performance has made the Nitro Blade a favorite of true coffee enthusiasts around the world, from home baristas to World Brewers Cup champions!

The Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Bladehand grinder is also unique in terms of design. The highest quality materials have been used in its manufacture to ensure high reliability, durability, and comfort of use. Not only are the internal burrs made of stainless steel, but so are the grinder body, internal system, handle, and micro ball bearings. Where polymers can be used to improve performance, Comandante uses high-performance BPA-free polymers that meet the strictest food safety standards. These materials are designed to withstand years of heavy use. The handle is finished with an oak handle made by friends in Germany's Black Forest. Thanks to the unique structure of oak, the handle is wonderfully ergonomic, fits comfortably in the hand, and is also beautiful to look at. The ground coffee containers are made of hard glass and can hold up to 40 grams of coffee.

Features:

  • comandante products do not contain aluminum
  • 1 brown glass container and 1 clear polymer glass container

How to adjust the grind size on the Comandante grinder?

Adjusting the grind coarseness is as pleasant as using the grinder itself. The adjustment control is located at the bottom of the grinder, below the burrs. The result is highly satisfying for lovers of filtered coffee and espresso alike. The advantage of the burrs in the Comandante hand grinder is their physical and chemical properties, which do not affect the final taste of the coffee in any way.

Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade Snow White
He is beautiful. I chose white.
It holds well, the ball on the handle is pleasant in the hand.
Grinds quickly and easily (switched from porlex mini). I enjoy the sound of grinding.
The coffee tastes good.
It seems to be grinding well. I haven't looked into consistency much yet because of static issues (see negatives). It always cracks me up.
I wonder if my rating is harsh, but if I knew about the static issues with the camandante, I would very likely choose a different grinder. Too bad none of the previous reviewers mentioned them. I was deciding between electric Wilfa, Fellow or this one. I have a Wilfa Svart at home (which I complained about twice due to engine problems, but the third one is running and I am satisfied). At work, I wanted to replace the old Porlex Mini with something that grinds well, faster and with less effort. The Comandante fulfills this requirement and I found grinding by hand to work fine, unfortunately the ground coffee with it behaves like an experiment in physics class with a fox tail and an ebonite rod. After grinding, it is stuck with static electricity from all sides of the container and the bottom of the grinder. You have to shake it so it doesn't fly to the sides when opened and even then it's not perfect, you leave a mess that you have to clean up (which you don't want at work) and it takes time. The rest of the coffee is kept from the bottom of the grinder and in the container. If I had to decide again, I don't know if I would rather choose the electric Wilfa.

Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade Alpine Lagoon
Incredible grinding speed
Grinding consistency
Capacity up to 40g of coffee
Beautiful design, I fell in love with the Alpine Lagoon color
Replaceable lower part of the grinder for ground coffee. Dark and light. With each of them, the grinder looks a little different, but still beautiful. In addition, it is possible to store ground coffee in them, e.g. for traveling.
Robustness of the grinder
The package does not include any accessories for the grinder - brush, packaging. For cleaning, I use tools from the previous grinder (Timemore)
When traveling, I would recommend using a cover - either the official Comandante or another

Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade Liquid Amber
Cuts really smooth, top espresso!
Beautiful design
The grinder has a long handle and is not storable, so it is quite difficult to travel with.
If they supplied a canvas bag with it, it would be nice.
