An icon among hand grinders — the Comandante C40 is a robust and ultra-precise tool featuring the unique Nitro Blade burrs that revolutionized grinding in the world of specialty coffee.
Its sleek black design is timeless and suits any style.

With the C40 MK4, you’ll receive two Bean Jar containers for coffee beans:

One made of brown glass
One made of impact-resistant polymer (virtually unbreakable)

Both are flavor-neutral, food-safe, and easy to clean with hot water. Each holds up to 40 g of coffee.
Made in Germany.

Nitro Blade — the legendary burrs

Since their debut in 2015, Nitro Blade burrs have transformed not only the world of hand grinders but also home coffee brewing in general. Their geometry, steel, and finish have set the benchmark for conical burrs and remain the No. 1 choice for baristas and coffee enthusiasts worldwide. They are copied but never surpassed.

Materials without compromise

Comandante uses only high-tech materials with a clear purpose. For example, QTP is a high-performance techno-polymer reinforced with quartz nanoparticles. It looks and feels like ceramic yet has the strength of a composite, is food-safe, water-resistant, and built to last with precision.

Nitro Rex — steel like no other

The search for the perfect material led us to the Alpine region, renowned for its centuries-old steelmaking mastery. Here, Nitro Rex was born — a unique alloy crafted by local experts using a special formula.

Every stage — from smelting to finishing — is executed with the utmost precision. The steel contains over 17% chromium, balanced with vanadium, molybdenum, and other microalloys. This provides exceptional corrosion resistance, hardness, and wear resistance. Thanks to a complex remelting process, the steel matrix is uniform, with a naturally silver surface free of coatings — it remains authentic and absolutely neutral to coffee flavor.

Precision and durability without compromise

Nitro Rex is the heart of every Comandante. It ensures consistent precision and longevity, suitable for everything from the finest espresso grind to coarse filter settings. It’s the choice for those who refuse to compromise on quality and value the purity of flavor.
