C40 Nitro Blade
Built for true coee enthusiasts and specialty coee con-
noisseurs, the C40 (MKIII) Nitro Blade is a robust high
performance coee hand grinder with an advanced burr
set design. The selection of the burr material is the proud
result of dedicated research and development. Earlier in
2015, we decided to chose a very special high-alloyed,
high-nitrogen stainless steel with a ne martensitic matrix
as our top of the line burr material.
We further rened the geometry and structure of the
Nitro Blade burr to get the grind performance we were
looking for and the particle distribution which worked
best with brewing fresh ground specialty arabica beans.
Manufacturing a Nitro Blade is a serious engineering
task which requires special tools and machinery, excel-
lent craftsmanship and lots of experience. High-nitrogen
martensitic steel is extremely dicult to work with. But
when nished, it is tough, highly wear resistant and has a
high degree of edge retention. This is what we want.
After hardening and tempering a nished Nitro Blade, we
give it the last engineering kick. We cut tiny micro-blades
on the tips of the Z-teeth to give it an ultra sharp burr
entry. The grind result gives you a very rened particle
size distribution for all grind grades from coarse grind
for hand brewing to ne grind for pulling espresso shots.
We love our little masterpiece. It shows our heritage from
Bavaria and Black Forest in Germany.

We think stainless steel is the right choice to build a
robust coee grinder. So the C40 has a stainless steel
body, a stainless steel axle, a stainless steel crank and
stainless steel micro ball bearings.
The “naked” C40 has a brushed stainless steel body. For
the wood version, we laminate a genuine wood layer on
top of the stainless steel body. Both body surfaces give
you a solid grip for serious crank action.
Grind thruput
Comandante burr sets are always cut from solid metal
blocks by experienced craftsmen. Burr geometry has
been optimized to achieve excellent grind thruput with
medium crank torque delivering rened grind particle
size distribution for best brew results. Grind thruput aver-
ages at 1 coee bean per turn at a comfortable medium
turning force.
Nitro Blade Burr Set
The Nitro Blade burr set is the ultimate performance
choice. It “cuts” coee beans in a very unique way. The
grind result is extremely exact and very uniform with the
least amount of coee dust. Both ring and core are cut
out of a solid block of high-alloyed, high-nitrogen stain-
less steel. This makes the Nitro Blade very sharp and
strong with excellent edge retention and wear resistance.
Nitro Blade is also extra non-corrosive and shows an ex-
cellent cut performance.

Danger: Sharp Burr Edges and Burr Teeth!
Please be extra careful when your ngers get close to any
burr edge or burr teeth. Both burr edge and teeth are very
sharp and can easily cut and seriously harm you.
Please keep your children away from the burr!
Highly Inert Burr Surface
The Nitro Blade‘s steel surface is highly inert and there-
fore performs with absolute sensoric neutrality. This is
particularly essential when grinding complex acidic high
quality micro lot arabica coee. The Nitro Blade with its
physical and chemical properties is the top choice for all
serious coee brewers and top baristas.
Try your Nitro Blade also with salt and pepper or other dry
herbs. You will be surprised about the grind result. Fresh
ground seasoned salt powder – extremely tasty!
Coffee & Tea
Nitro Blade is an excellent grinder for both coee and tea.
