Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade - the new version of one of the top coffee grinders in the world. The grinder offers a wide range of grinding adjustments, stable operation and a refined design using high quality materials.
The MK4 version includes several updates:
- New engine frame shape and material - more robust, with larger capacity and no more trapped beans!
- Each grinder comes with two jars: 1 x brown glass and 1 x clear polymer-glass. The latter is lightweight, durable, and can be used as a cup!
- Reworked packaging with improved protection.
The selection of the burr material is the proud result of dedicated research and development. The burrs are made of stainless steel reinforced with nitrogen. High-nitrogen martensitic steel is extremely difficult to work with, but when finished, it is tough, highly wear resistant and has a high degree of edge retention. The burrs allow for extremely smooth and even grinding.
The grinding coarseness is adjusted by turning a knob located below the burrs. The resulting ground coffee is even both when grinding for alternative methods and for espresso, which makes the Comandante unique compared to other manual coffee grinders. In addition, due to its physical and chemical properties, the burrs are neutral in terms of the effect on the taste of coffee.
The use of high quality materials in the design add to the reliability and comfort of use. The body of the grinder is made of stainless steel. The comfortable profiled handle has handgrip made of oak.

Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade, Black
Works really well, really fast. I had a delay in shipment, but that was due to FedEx, not Crema. Crema staff was helpful in diagnosing the issue and providing feedback to me until the unit finally arrived. Nicely done!
A Legend
There is nothing more to say than what has already been said about the "Comandante". It is simply a legendary grinder that has helped shape the history of coffee.
P.B.German quality
Really fine craftsmanship, traditional German expertise. It also grinds well; my Moka pot coffee has new nuances compared to what was ground with the old electric grinder. If only someone would come up with a convenient solution for removing static electricity. This is also an issue with electric grinders but seems to be more pronounced with this one.
T.J.My.God.
This tool is rediculously expensive. Worth is, though.
Transforms the simple act of grinding the beans from a chore into a meditative, luxurious experience.

A very good grinder which is admittedly expensive but worth the money if you are a coffee snob :)

I bought this product as a present for my son’s 35th birthday and I was totally blown away at the efficiency of your company in shipping it so quickly and the delivery company we selected from your site DHL. It arrived in absolutely perfect time for the family party. I highly recommend your service and your products.
M.R.Amazing quality
Very nice piece of equipment. Nice packaging and details. You can feel the quality. Totally worth it.
F.P.Well made
It's Comandante grinder, everybody try to be better, but nobody managed it yet.
S.Z.I recommend it
I am satisfied with the purchase. The grinder is quite easy to use, fairly quiet, and fast. The coffee tastes much better than the coffee ground with the previous Hario hand grinder.
I.O.Excellent small grinder
The good feeling of a coffee moment starts right when you take this grinder in your hand...
T.S.Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade, Virginia Walnut
Well-designed coffee grinder, easy to grind coffee. Always evenly ground coffee.
I would buy it again.
Good hand grinder
A really good hand grinder that produces consistent results. It would have earned five stars if it were a bit faster.
P.J.Amazing
As coffee lover, the best on market!
M.A.Comandante coffee grinder
Based on reviews, chosen as a gift for a coffee enthusiast and it was not a disappointment! Extremely high-quality overall. Grinding for espresso is also successful, which was important for the recipient. A stylish product that one gladly keeps on display on the table. The coffee grinder was beautifully packaged, opening it already made a big impression and satisfaction with a good choice.
Delivery from Crema was fast!
Great Grinder
The grinder performs very well, and the wood finish looks excellent. I only removed one star, because the wood finish is uneven and not perfectly round -- there is a noticeable lump that can be felt when held. I expect this is due to hand-finished natural materials, but I expected better quality control at this price. Nevertheless, it's only a cosmetic issue that doesn't impact performance.

Fantastic products, cool and functional
M.R.Great grinder, excellent unboxing experience!
After a long contemplation, I decided to purchase the Comandante coffee grinder.
I had only heard good things about the grinder, and many coffee enthusiasts around me recommended it.
The price was the biggest obstacle. Could a €300 coffee grinder really be that much better than a grinder half the price? Was the price just for the brand? Where does the name Comandante even come from?
I found answers to my questions. And the more I delved into Comandante as a company, the less I thought about the cost. As a consumer, I want to make choices that are both ecologically and ethically sustainable, and Comandante offered me both.
When the package arrived, I couldn't help but smile. The packaging resembled a quality cigar box with seals, although it was considerably larger. Unboxing was a precise and gentle task, as I didn't want to damage the beautiful exterior. When I got the box open, I laughed out loud. The contents were truly impressive. Everything was precisely in its place, the grinder wrapped beautifully in paper, stickers, a quality certificate, a glass and plastic jar, and a postcard with Comandante himself holding trees in his hands.
The grinder feels good in the hands thanks to its genuine wood surface. The knob and handle are meticulously finished and fit perfectly with the overall design. Everything is excellently and precisely made. The Comandante name on the side is significantly fainter than in the product picture, which I find to be good since it can almost be used as a decor element. The handle spins almost by itself when empty, which for some reason convinced me.
After examining the contents of the box and quickly browsing the manual, it was time to brew coffee. I dug out a lighter Brazilian Cachoeirinha from Inka roastery that had been my daily driver for some time. I left the grinder at the factory setting of 24 clicks and started cranking. The steady grinding sound continued to the end, and grinding was light. I looked at the ground coffee and it looked good; I couldn’t visually judge much more than that. I added the coffee to my Aeropress and brewed it. Initially, I found the grind to be a bit too fine to my taste, though the cup was otherwise full-bodied and the consistency of the grind was noticeable in the mouthfeel. After a few tries, good adjustments started to emerge for different coffees.
Great device
The grinder works well and grinds consistently. Definitely worth its price.
M.J.Perfect
I am very happy with the product as well as the delivery.
A.D.Absolutely ace
You can't get a better grinder than this. However, the packaging is quite extravagant...
PriksuComandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade, Virginia Walnut
This coffee bean grinder is got to be the best that I’ve bought and to top it off it’s all mechanical. The workmanship is superb, and I would buy it again, and I would suggest friends to buy it.
T.Z.Fantastic . Beyond expectations
It s as you d imagine . To decide on this one was a bit tricky so many other grinders offers . In the end i think it s the most simple effective for all circumstances product . Does it at all well and beyond . The experience is super gratifying . The result superb . It gives a touch of grace to the mondaine daily coffee .
D.J.Want to grind appropriately, over time?...This is it!
I watched and read here and there about it, only to finally look for the best price for a Comandante...
No regrets: I wish I had learned about this sooner...
And, oh my, how it works!!!
Thanks to this team of geniuses
Great grinder for many happy brews
I have tried a few grinders, both hand and electrical, for my home roasted beans as well as for some specialty coffee subscriptions (10+ years home roasting plus 5+ years coffee subscriptions), both filter and espresso. Comandante brings out a clear, bright result, without any bitterness. Easily the best grinder I have used up to now . Ground beans for: La Pavoni espresso lever machine, Bialetti Moka stovetop, Rancilio automatic espresso machine, V60 pour over, Kalita wave pour over.
P.B.Easily one of the best manual stepped coffee grinder available!
Excellent grinder!
It arrived with an impressive packaging and a detailed mini book with some explanation about the grinder itself and the instructions for the usage/maintenance.
Comandante C40 MK4 Nitro Blade, Black
Great grinder with consistent grind. currently using at office and for travels with Aeropress. Shipping was fast and great service by Crema team
I.A.Good stuff
The Comandante C40 Mk4 grinds with very even and good quality. Exceeded expectations. The resistance during grinding is just right for moka grinding, and it becomes immediately easy when grinding, for example, for French press. Grinding for more than a couple of cups of French press is easy, while moka is best with 3-4 cups per grind. The instruction manual provides good recommendations for settings for different grind levels. The adjustment is done with a dial at the bottom with fixed clicks and is easy and intuitive. The grinder feels very solid but not bulky. If you have small hands, the diameter might feel large, but for me, it fits nicely in the hand. Both a glass jar and a polymer jar are included. I prefer the glass jar, as the polymer one tends to have coffee sticking to the sides. Overall, simply good stuff.
F.M.Comandante C 40
Great manual grinder. No coffee dust. Great for different types of coffee, ibrik, moka pot, pour over.
M.T.Very good
Very good grinder, the only downside is the lack of visual feedback on the grind size.
J.K.Best manual grinder?
Huge upgrade comparing to my previous manual coffee grinder. Very nice mechanism, sharp metal burrs, constant grind size, easy to set settings.
Not sure if this is the fastest grinder but I wasn't chasing speed.
Also, I trust professional baristas.
