The Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade Virginia Walnut hand grinder is considered one of the best grinders in the world. It now comes with a new and improved version of the previous model (Comandante C40 MK3). The mill offers a wide range of roughness, a stable grinding process, refined design and, of course, materials of the highest quality. In terms of design, it ranks among the unique ones and, at first glance, appeals with its processing.

The MK4 version brings several improvements:

  • New design shape and material - MK4 is more robust, with more capacity and no more jammed grains!
  • The package contains two glass containers: 1x made of brown glass and 1x made of clear polymer glass (they are light, durable and can be used as a cup!)
  • Redesigned packaging with improved protection

The grinding stones of the Comandante C40 MK4 hand grinder are an improved version of the previous model. Thanks to long-term research, Comandante has been able to improve the sharp edges of the stones to enable comfortable grinding with a smooth and even result. After grinding fresh coffee beans, almost no residual coffee remains in the grinder.

The grind setting using the click system gives you full control over any coffee brewing method and leaves your preferred grind setting in place. This will help you get the most out of your coffee and repeat the results over and over again. This first-class grinding performance has made the Nitro Blade a helper for true coffee enthusiasts around the world, from domestic baristas to World Brewers Cup champions!

The Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade Virginia Walnut hand grinder is also unique in terms of design. The highest quality materials were used in the production to guarantee high reliability, durability and comfort in use. Not only the internal grinding stones are made of stainless steel, but also the grinder body, internal system, handle and micro ball bearings. Where polymers can be used to improve performance, Comandante uses BPA-free high performance polymers that meet the highest food safety standards. These materials are designed to withstand years of heavy use. The handle is finished with a wooden handle made by friends in the German Black Forest. Thanks to the unique oak structure, the handle is beautifully ergonomic, sits comfortably in the hand and is also beautiful to look at. Ground coffee containers are made of hard glass and can hold up to 40 grams of coffee.

Properties:

  • color: brown
  • stones: stainless steel
  • weight: 600 g
  • Comandante products do not contain aluminum
  • two glass containers: 1x made of brown glass and 1x made of clear polymer glass

How to set the grinding roughness on the Comandante grinder?

The grinding roughness setting is as pleasant as the grinder itself. The adjustment control is located at the bottom of the grinder, under the grinding stones. The result of the setting is maximally satisfactory for lovers of filtered coffees as well as espresso. The advantage of the grinding stones found in the Comandante hand grinder is its 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

Very consistent grind
Very fast grinding
Sufficient adjustment fineness
Ergonomics
Easy maintenance
Quality of processing, materials
For that price, there could be at least a case/cover + at least some cleaning accessories
Less compact (Not quite suitable for travel)

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.
Price...
