The Comandante Grinder is one of the most well known and trusted coffee hand grinders on the market, handmade and assembled in Germany their team pay attention to every detail from the burr geometry to applying the wooden veneer and checking the grinders alignment.
What’s new with the MK4:
The Mk4 grinder is Comandante’s latest release following it’s predecessor the MK3 grinder, while 90% of the grinder remains the same and unchanged here’s what’s been updated:
New Polymer Jar
Made from a high quality BPA-Free Clear Polymer, these jars are incredibly durable and lightweight. These are the same dimensions of the MK3 and can still hold approximately 40 grams of roasted coffee. (Please note that the dimensions are the same and can be switched out with older MK3 jars)
Lighter Weight
Overall the new MK4 Comandante Grinders are around 600 grams and have had its weight reduced due to the Polymer Jars and the new designed internal structure.
Wood sourcing & New Colours
Comandante now source their wood sustainably for all their wooden outer body MK4 coffee grinders. as well as their sustainable sourcing they also have multiple colour ways available that are more affordable than the wooden veneer options.
MK4 New Internal structure
The MK4 has a new internal structure designed to prevent wastage and stop coffee beans from getting stuck in the axle slot (a common issue with the Comandante MK3 Grinders).
The top part of the internal structure can easily be removed when disassembling and allows users to easily access the entire coffee grinder when cleaning.
Comandante C40 MK4 Features:
Comandante Burrs
The 39mm burrs are made from High-Alloyed, High-Nitrogen Stainless Steel (Insanely tough and designed to last).
Reel Wood Body & Knob
The Natural Oak wooden handle compliments the body of the grinder which is wrapped in an oiled wooden veneer (depending on the colour of grinder) offering a textured surface to prevent slipping while in action as well as offering an individually unique pattern for every grinder.
Smooth Grinding
The double axle bearings create a smooth enjoyable rotation that makes grinding super easy and quick. Just like other hand grinders you will know when you have finished grinding your dose when you start to feel less resistance on the crank. Comandante grinders are easy to disassemble and super easy to clean.
Included Comandante Bean Jars
The 2x jars included are designed to screw into the base of your Comandante grinder and collect the ground coffee but they are also a perfect coffee storage solution, especially when traveling for a day trip. These multi-purpose jars also happen to be the perfect diameter for when transferring freshly ground coffee into your AeroPress / AeroPress Go chamber.
Easy to Use ‘Clicks’ system
The stepped dial located underneath the grinder is standard across the entire Comandante C40 range of grinders. This allows you to communicate with any other Comandante grinder owner and share recipes so that you can both get the exact same grind size and follow the same recipe accurately even when you are on the other side of the world. It also has the coarser / finer direction etched into the burr set, which makes it super easy to adjust your grind size.
