Comandante® Coffee Grinder C40 MK4 Nitro Blade®

The Comandante® Coffee Grinder C40 Nitro Blade® coffee grinders impress with their unique and beautiful design and are manufactured 100% in Unteraching, Germany. Highest quality through high-class handling and robust materials!

You can grind from powder-fine (Mokka) to very coarse (‘Karlsbader’ pot) with an easy click-system up to 35 different grinding levels.

The grinding mechanism “cuts” coffee beans in a very unique way. The grind result is extremely exact and very uniform with the least amount of coffee dust. Both ring and core are cut out of a solid block of high-alloyed, high-nitrogen stainless steel. This makes the Nitro Blade very sharp and strong with excellent edge retention and wear resistance. The center axle is fixed and supported by two micro ball bearings for better distribution of force and grind momentum. Both micro ball bearings are encapsulated with rubber for protection and smooth operation.

We usually have these models available:
  • Black
  • Alpine Lagoon
  • Copper Mountain
  • Sunset
  • Racing Green
  • Snow White
  • Deep Purpel  (NEW)
All other models are usually sold out quickly, this applies to the models:
  • Liquid Amber
  • Virginia Walnut
  • American-Cherry


 

100% Made in Germany represents the usage of stainless steel for all metal parts, glass for the jar, BPA-free TRITAN plastic for the engine frame, and real wood for coating and knob. Comandante hand grinders were designed and built to last a lifetime. Convince yourself.

High quality grinder

I had a very good experience grinder was shipped quickly. It took a while to get here, but that’s understandable from Germany to the United States. Grinder itself is of extraordinary quality and provides a very consistent grind. For more lightly roasted beans. I would recommend the longer handles. Thank you!

Thank you very much for your wonderful review!
We’re delighted to hear that you’re enjoying your Comandante and the consistent grind quality of your manual coffee grinder.

Regarding your note about longer handles: For the Comandante we offer two options – the XL Black Crank with a length of 18 cm (7.08 inches) and the XXL Crank with a length of 20 cm (7.87 inches) for even more leverage. Both are excellent upgrades to make grinding with a manual coffee grinder even more comfortable – especially for harder, lighter-roasted beans.

Once again, thank you for your feedback and we wish you continued enjoyment with your Comandante and the pleasure of grinding fresh beans with your manual coffee grinder!

Disappointed

I got the liquid amber, but the wood pattern isn’t close to what i saw on YouTube.

Dear John,
Thank you once again for your feedback and for the open and constructive communication via email.

Since this may also be of interest to other customers, we’d like to briefly share how the situation was handled:
You reached out to us with a photo of your Comandante C40 “Liquid Amber”, as the wood grain differed from what you had expected – especially compared to a YouTube video that inspired your purchase.

We forwarded the image to Comandante, and the manufacturer confirmed that the dark line you saw is not a defect, but a natural characteristic of the real wood veneer used in this model. Each unit is made with oiled, untreated wood, and as a result, every grinder is one of a kind – some with subtle, others with bold or straight grain lines. That uniqueness is part of the appeal of the Liquid Amber finish.

We’re happy that we could explain the background and that you accepted our goodwill refund offer. Even more, we truly appreciate your kind words about our service and your willingness to recommend us — that means a lot to us!

Of course, whenever someone finds that the natural look of their grinder doesn’t match their personal expectations, we’re always happy to help find a fair solution.

Warm regards,
Your Löwen META Team
