C40 MK4 Nitro Blade Copper Mount.

Looking for the perfect manual coffee grinder? With precision grinding, durable construction, and an ergonomic design, this grinder stands out as the best option available. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or a casual drinker, this grinder ensures a consistent and flavorful brew every time.

I went out on a limb in a way and decided to try this one based on the online overwhelmingly good reviews of it. And I have to say, the good reviews are right.First of all made in Germany so you know it's quality. I do pour over and chemex now which take different grinds and it can give me very good coffee either way. It feels very solid, no play, and it's a little arm work to get your coffee ground, but you knew that going in.This will probably outlast me. If you are going to grind in advance I recommend the brown colored jars you can get for it.Also I recommend the "Big Joe" handle I believe it's called - it makes it a bit easier to grind, and I also recommend the "Red clix" for it as it gives you a lot finer range. They recommend it for espresso but honestly you can use it with any type of brew to get optimal taste. But you have to be comfortable in taking it apart and installing it.I can't think of anything else I would have asked for with this and highly recommend it.

The Commadante is the gold standard coffee grinder for good reason. It is solid, grinds perfectly, and you can taste the difference in the final brew!If you have the means and are really into coffee, this is a must have grinder. Many recipes call for a specific grind setting on the Commadante and once you use it, you will know why.

Excellent quality product

Yeah? but it’s definitely a luxury item. You don’t need it; there are plenty of grinders and alternatives that will provide the same grinding consistency. It’s the Aston Martin of grinders, if you will.

None of the online reviews I see ever debate whether or not the C40 is a good grinder. The discussions always revolve around whether it’s worth the price considering all the current competition out there. Other grinders (1zpresso lineup) might have comparable or better build quality and cool features like external grind adjustment, but as far as pure grind quality goes, no one can argue against the fact that the Commandante C40 is an excellent grinder and the gold standard for a reason.I do also own a 1zpresso ZP6, which I really like. The external grind adjustment is cool but the tradeoff is that you need to “re-calibrate” the grinder after disassembling and cleaning, something you don’t need to do with the C40, and that is some hassle saved. Also it’s difficult for me to say whether the C40 and the ZP6 grinds coffee better - they’re just “different”.Full disclosure - I only brew pour over (Hario v60 and Switch). No espresso.

Does everything I read that it is supposed to do.

The only downside is that it is lacking the ability to indicate which click or level it is set on.To the previous responder who insulted the “User” rather then the tool, wait till you’re 72 years old as I am.The grinder, aside from this point, gets a five star.
