"The Comandante has a lovely flavor profile that never goes into that unpleasant direction. It's probably the slowest premium manual grinder."
Serious Eats 8.5
2024
"The Comandante was fun to use, thanks to its high-end build quality, ergonomic and stylish design, and its high-quality burrs."
Home Grounds 8
2024
"The Comandante C40 MK 4 retails between $325 and $360, depending on the finish you choose. Once upon a time, that price made sense."
Coffeeness 9
2024
"The Comandante C40 MK4 is still the best hand grinder on the market in my opinion. There's something so uniquely special about those nitro blade burrs."
Prima Coffee 8.5
2024
"Comandante hails from Germany, where some of the best equipment used in specialty coffee shops is made. The Comandante Mark IV offers minor but thoughtful revisions."
