Comandante solidifies reputation as quality-benchmark for manual grinder market

Comandante, a name synonymous with quality in the specialty coffee industry, is set to launch the hotly anticipated latest update to the C40 nitro-blade grinder.

Brewed By Hand is the exclusive distributor for the new MK4 grinder in the UK and are expecting a rush once it is released for sale later this month. Greg Amann, Head of Commercial for both companies is excited to introduce the new Comandante to their customers “The new MK4 grinder is a welcome development on the MK3 model; improving efficiency, materials and workflow. Comandante’s continued dedication to design and innovation means their products are pushing boundaries of performance and relevance at every opportunity.”


The newest version of the C40 grinder boasts a new ‘indestructible’ bean jar made from high performance polymer which is lighter and more durable than the glass version and can also double as heat-insulated drinking vessel.


An improved crank-fitting and grind mechanism have also been precision-engineered in order to improve performance. The company have also addressed their packaging; making it smaller and more eco-friendly as it now comprises only sustainable materials sourced from Germany’s Black Forest.

The UK’s weekly coffee expenditure per capita has doubled since 2006, with many people turning to high-end brewing equipment to re-create café-quality coffee from the comfort of their homes. The Comandante offers impeccable ease of use as well as a higher-quality end result when it comes to ground coffee. The nitro-coated Steel burrs slice, rather than crush the coffee; meaning a purer, more nuanced flavour in the cup.
