COMANDANTE C40 Nitro Blade (Mk4)

Love it, grinding is very easy snd very consistent. Plus, it looks great. Packaging is pretty over the top though.

很好用

A classic for a reason. I have been using the C40 for a few weeks now and it handily outperforms my gen 1 fellow ode and timemore c3 for v60 and Switch brews. The vintage oak classic omits the Comandante logo which makes for a very clean and minimal design. Expensive, but well worth the upgrade in my opinion.

Legendary for a reason. Really enjoying the quality of cup that this grinder produces.

Totally a different experience! I was a bit skeptical while making this purchase but it turned out so great! No regret! The amount of clarity and quality in a cup is noticeably compared to a Timemore Chestnut series.

very good

Thanks!

This was my husband's bday gift. Ever since he got this, we can't stop enjoying great coffee every morning :))
There were lots of humming and hahing before buying it due to the price, yet it is so worth it. We could see that the creator was also very passionate about making this grinder and we've been very happy with the quality of the gear and the grinds!!

An industry standard for a reason. Perfectly made, will last a lifetime, iconic design!

I'm very happy with my new grinder! I've been using a Timemore C2 for years and finally decided to upgrade to the Comandante C40. I'm already appreciating the larger range that the C40 has for grinding for pour-over, and found my coffee has increased clarity compared to my previous grinder. Plus, I appreciate the size of the dosing chamber when making a larger amount of coffee.

This grinder is a pleasure to use and makes great coffee. A noticeable upgrade.

Amazing hand grinder.
The quality is very high and it grinds beans very evenly.

Beyond expectations

Replaced timemore grinder. C40 makes different tasting coffee. It tastes more intense and clean. Some might prefer that, but for me, I like calm and earthy. Need to play with it more and find the setting works for me. The device is absolutely pleasure to use.

Delivery was excellent. Grind was excellent although there was a grey cloth shipped in the box along with a rubber loop, both which have no mention in the owners manual of. The biggest minus is the amount of coffee dust produced. I've owned a few grinders and never experienced this before. It's difficult to get a accurate measurement of coffee. Quality appears to be excellent although a lackluster manual, the dust and lack of a basic brush to removed it taints a nice product.

‘A magnificent grinder that passes the white paper test, hands down! Sprinkle freshly ground, unused Comandante grinds on a white surface. What do you see? I first noticed extremely uniform particles. The second thing I noticed is no dust! Flavor is the best test. I roast my own coffee beans to control flavor and freshness. The flavors from my Comandante grinds are so clean and so improved I abandoned my expensive electric grinder. ‘Highly recommended!

So much fun to grind with that I look forward to it. The coffee felt smoother to my mouth, clearer, and complex compared to my old 1zpresso Q pentagonal.

Comparing against the competition, the Comandante C40 has a much smooth grind and even distribution.
White looks nicer in hand than online!

Just purchased this again.

I’ve gone through like every 1zpresso, a few Timemore’s and for some reason always come back to this.

It’s not as fancy as some of the other handgrinders but it just does what you need perfectly.

I decided to make the jump and purchase one of these grinders in Racing Green. Product packaging and unboxing experience was excellent, and the build quality is phenomenal. After a quick glance at the quick start guide for setting recommendations, I got straight to making coffee. I was a bit skeptical going into this purchase that I'd be able to notice a difference in my brews compared to my prior grinder, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Resulting cups from this grinder have been nothing short of exceptional. Sweet and well balanced, and best of all, consistent. While its not ideal to have to remove the catch cup to adjust grind sizes, over time its become a non-issue as I don't find myself changing it all that often. An upside to its grind size adjustment is the fact that most videos and roasters can make "click" recommendations for specific methods or roasts. In my testing I find it to be slower than most other hand grinders, but I feel like the additional 20-30 seconds of grinding has been worth it in the cup.

Got a Red Sonja version. Takes time but product is very good and grinder is solid.

I purchased this grinder for my husband for Christmas. A friend recommended it to him and he couldn’t justify the cost, no matter how perfectly it grinds coffee beans. So I bought it for him. He is delighted! I don’t drink coffee but I do appreciate how much quieter it grinds the beans than his electric one. 😆

The perfect product to make your coffee taste better

I have been using it at 24 clicks for pour overs; same as the shipped setting. The C40 produces a surprisingly different grind than the other grinders I have used. I would say that the grind is nicely uniform, but the surprising feature is that the ground coffee is very fluffy with much more volume. I would guess that the individual grounds have more surface area than with other grinders. Also surprising is that even very fine settings don't produce a grind that gives much resistance to the water flowing through my V60. Consequently, I've had to throw out my old rules of pouring techniques--still experimenting. So far, I find that 24 clicks gives the best taste. I finish my pour at two minutes and stop any remaining brewing at 3 minutes. The bottom line is that the coffee tastes fantastic, better than ever. My eyes popped out when I tasted the first cup.

This thing is hefty. I enjoy the metal build, wood handle and that it has both a glass and plastic container included. The grind adjustment is a bit annoying to use because it's on the inside, but I don't change it much from my pour over setting anyway.

C40 is absolutely great for pour over! Once you grind your coffee, you will see your the uniformity of the particles. The only downside is the static, but you could pray some water to the beans to mitigate the problem.

I've always kept a hand grinder at work for our french press and pour over. This year I decided to upgrade and I've never had such a consistent, quick and quiet grinding experience.

This is my second manual grinder. I've been using it for a few months, and I'm pretty satisfied. I started with a basic manual grinder (
