Comandante C40 Nitro Blade Coffee Grinder MK4 (Alpine Lagoon)
Comandante C40 Nitro Blade Coffee Grinder MK4 (Alpine Lagoon)
The newest addition to our C40 Mk4 Nitro Blade® lineup - 'Alpine Lagoon' - is a homage to the beautiful colours of the Bavarian Alps.
Rugged and wild, the mountains should always be approached with care and respect. The weather can be extreme, and you can find yourself isolated. But exactly that is the goal for many who venture outdoors, and some of the most beautiful locations on planet Earth are waiting to be discovered.
Our local Alpine lagoons are full of serenity and incredible colours: an extraordinary turquoise that always glistens, whether in the sunshine in summer or against the snow in winter.
We wanted to put the joy and sparkle of that amazing colour onto our beloved C40 Mk4 Nitro Blade® so that we could share it with the world.
Our C40 Mk4 ‘ALpine Lagoon’ uses our super robust powder coating, is aluminium free, and 100% food safe. World class grind performance. Engineered to last generations. Made in Germany.
Grinding coffee with the Comandante C40 Nitro Blade Grinder elevates the concept of “making coffee from scratch” to a whole new level. The 100% natural oak wood knob fits perfectly in your hand; the cool, unyielding stainless steel body with its reinforced grip as you turn the handle. The accessible grind setting dial on the bottom of the burrs is within easy reach.
The high-alloyed, high-nitrogen stainless steel burrs and double axle bearings guarantee absolute particle uniformity, up to espresso or even the powder-fine Turkish grind, unlike other hand grinders. The Comandante C40 Nitro coffee grinder includes a clear and a brown jar for grinding into and storing beans. With an intentionally engineered durability, the Comandante C40 coffee grinder is built to last.
The MK4: What’s new
The MK4 is the latest updated version of Comandante’s C40 nitro-blade hand grinder. In fact, the MK4 has been designed with complete backwards compatibility, so all parts are interchangeable with the MK3 model. Fans of the MK3 will find a comforting familiarity in the design and performance while enjoying some amazing new features.
- New ‘indestructible’ polymer bean jar is lighter and more durable than the glass one (also included). The polymer jars are consistently weighted and so better to use in brewing competitions. They also boast heat insulation properties so can be used as a cup if you’re brewing coffee on the go!
- Freshly designed axel frame means there is now no chance of beans getting stuck in the engine frame
- Smaller box with improved protection and brand new manual; now completely made from sustainable materials.
All these changes make for improved workflow, weight, practicality and durability.
Capacity:
- 40g jars

Join Our Journey
To date our Head Barista Aron has made over a million of coffees during his time, that’s a lot right? His dedication and skill has benefited coffee shops around the E.U., Canada, New York & his home city London. In 2010 Aron started with a mobile espresso van which taught him just how difficult it can be to manage different bean densities in England’s inclement weather. Determined to master the art of consistency, he spent days testing coffees from around the world, roasting different blends to formulate a recipe that would deliver a consistent base flavour within a temperature range of -5’c to 35’c. Most coffee shops are fitted with air conditioning units which assist in maintaining that consistency, but without that luxury Aron’s understanding of the volatility of coffee grew considerably.
The business expanded in 2011 when both Aron and his wife, Clare, took on a failing coffee shop after the recession with aim to give it life. With previous experience in hospitality and business management, their dedication and hard graft paid off and The Espresso Lounge Tring is a successful coffee shop and cafe with several TripAdvisor awards and fantastic reviews.
They remain within this lucrative industry to date and can offer invaluable knowledge to new business start ups or those wishing to train their baristas to the highest possible standard. Barista equipment, coffee machines, sales training and business consultancy are all available through Barista Life and can set your business on the path to success.
