Hello! Do you have any idea if Comandante have changed or upgraded their grinder parts for the past two years? What is the difference of the grinders today compared to the ones they sold for the past two years? Thanks!
honestly you're always in my recommendation I didn't realize I haven't subscribed. fixed now haha
I didn't know it was a handmade (and passioned made) grinder. Really looking forward to getting my hands in one of these!
I didn't know it was fully handmande, very interesting how even some machines in the factory are designed there
The craftmenship, the quality, the function, everything just unbelievable 👌
The grinder was too expensive for me, but seeing this video makes me appreciate and want it. The money isn't going to fat cat ceo but to small crafts man and high quality materials. Fantastic! It's a work of art.
I feel the same. And it supports a local business in my area, not some made in China product
It's expensive because labor cost in Germany
We hope you can visit again soon too! 🙌😊
We are looking forward to being back soon!
Mad request(s).
1.5 click version of that rod (cause Red clix is too much and standard is not enough), just would love half-way
Ti coated burrs (preferably user replaceable) with slow(ish) grinding geometry
Test if its possible to make synthetic corundum blades. Could be interesting.
And thanks for making amazing grinders, definitely love my Ironheart.. with all my heart. :D
They truly are a work of art, engineering and craftmanship. Since I moved to Germany I miss the electric grinders I left at my home country, so I will definitely get one of these when better times come.
@@KrauserKahn Thanks for your support!
This is my go to grinder! So happy with it! Will likely buy another when this 1 gives was
This is the kind of products I'd like to do my small part in supporting. No squeezing the last possible margin, no outsourcing to countries with substandard labour and environmental law and poor working conditions. Videos like this are so important because they are compelling reminders that cost and quality should not be the only criteria that matter when making a purchase.
Makes me appreciate my Comandante even more
Saw the title of this video. Clicked on the video. Hit pause. Made some coffee with my beloved Comandante. Sat down. Hit play. Felt deeply satisfied.
I found this video while fasting…
“Be humble, work very hard, listen to your clients, enjoy what you do and put all your energy into it.”
This man has all his priorities in order, great life lesson, great video!
I actually copied this and sent to myself in WhatsApp to remind myself. Didn't expect to get a tiny life lesson via a coffee video.
"Made in Germany" at it´s perfection.
I love those things!
I had two issues with my C40: the 1st one was my fault given the fact that the handle felt of my table and the plastic lid broke. The 2nd was the knob that was no longer held in place as the inner snap-in mechanism was broken.
Both problems have been solved by the after sales department of BB coffee company and I received replacing parts free of charge within 2 days. I'm quite impressed by and am happy having bought a highend product of a company focused on customer satisfaction. My thanks go out again to Natalie.
Good to hear your experience was perfect ☕️🖤
I won't lie; I'm a cheapskate if I can be. Learning about coffee and the equipment to make it has really helped me begin to understand the value of the products and realise that the prices aren't insane for what you get at the end. Seeing all the pieces (and faces) put together helps it make sense and puts it in context.
Thank you for making this video.
Proud owner of a C40, really awesome company , congratulations for the video.
Thanks for your kind words ☕️💙
I'm using Comandante Grinder for almost 4 years and this video complement my thought and impression about this grinder. Love from Indonesia.
Thanks for your support!
Grinding my coffee in a Commandante every morning is more satisfying then getting to drink the end result...even though the coffee comes out perfect everytime.
I was debating between the comandante and the 1zpresso plus. This video might have sold me. So much love and care.
Love from Malaysia. Proud to have one. It is the MK3 burgundy, and hope to use it for a long time ahead.
One word for this...
MASTERPIECE ...!!
What did I learn from the video?
That being passionate about what you do is what really matters. There is a saying: Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Bernd Braune has worked for several giant companies, but it seems his heart found the right place when he started his own business. He shows love for what he creates and we could feel it. All so whimsically well done and still handcrafted! An exquisite work. I loved! ❤️
Эта кофемолка самая лучшая!!! Купил и не думаешь что есть еще и другие.
Absolutely amazing to see how much love they put into making these grinders. Proud to have one!
Agree!
I felt the exact same way after watching this video!
🙌🥰
Fanatastic, I just bought a "LIQUID AMBER". When you watch here, how they are built, then you know, they are worth every penny. Great guys!
I'm was thinking a Comandante but it felt quite expensive for a hand grinder. After i saw this passion and dedication how they do grinders handmade (and not in a country with cheap labor) it didn't feel expensive anymore. I got mine a few weeks ago.
Much respect for this company
I don't have an Comandante yet... But I've learned a lot and specialty things that are important for me: vision, how and where it's made, philosophy and much more. Will probably get one very soon. The European Coffee Trip!
Good to hear ☕️🖤
Bought a Comandante because of this video. It’s amazing!
It was really an eye opener & makes me realized why Comandante is priced the way it is. Definitely one hand grinder I'm looking forward to have.
When the ceo said "This is my babies" - that said it all how much love into it
Just bought my C40 mk4, it's amazing, I live to see how it's made and knowing I support a amazing company
Comandante is such an amazing company. I do hope that they eventually create a model with an eternal numbered grind adjustment dial. That will be a major upgrade and reason to purchase.
Now i know why the price is high. Very nice quality product.
This really puts into perspective why the C40 mk3 is a $250 grinder. Engineering and labor - pretty amazing.
This video helped in my decision to buy a C40. Loved the passion and expertise of the team, the grinder is incredibly well designed, engineered and just works. My daughter already wants to inherit it from me 👍
Thank u gays i am from indonesia comandante is the best
Thanks for the video, now we know Comandante is worth the price not just to grind coffee. The scientist development and the process of the wood surface are full of professional and love in their product.
I was really thinking hard about spending $250 USD on one of these, but after watching the video, I am going to pull the trigger (if I can find one). Bernd's passion and path of trying to make the best product is very refreshing. The amount of craftsmanship is so impressive and beautiful. Can't wait to be an owner and get my hands on one of these!
Bought mine last night and I'm SUPER excited. Also upgraded with the Red Clix RX35 so I can grind super fine for espresso. I am sure I won't be disappointed and it's worth every penny. 🔥
@@bobbyomari5500 i'm also thinking about buying this to upgrade from my Hario Skerton Plus. are you enjoying it ?
I was wondering if i should buy a comandante instead of a big electric grinder and after watching this video, I felt like i really wanted the comandante instead of an electric grinder :D
@@Hazelminker I have upgraded from my C40 to a Niche Zero grinder and haven’t looked back. But if I did, I would certainly say a NZ is worth it for how much I can do with it. The Comandante is still with me and will use it for small grinds but for espresso it can be a lot of work and difficult to do back to back shots. We do a lot of espresso at home, so it’s just not as quick and easy to use. I would suggest the C40 as more of a daily driver for pourover, but if you plan on using it for espresso then maybeeeee an electric burr grinder is better suited. That being said, the C40 is a fantastic product that’s built so well and very high quality. I certainly will be using it as a backup in case my NZ has an issue or something. Hope that helps!
So proud having comandante c40...great craftmanship, can feel that passion..no wondering c40 is the most popular handgrinder..
Thank you for this interview!! Hearing directly from the CEO and seeing his passion, drive and pride for the product makes me really reassured in my decision to buy one!! They are all out of stock here in Australia (American Cherry). Please send some more pronto so I can get my hands on one!!
We're working on it :)! Thanks for your support and kind words!
Please Mexico needs more grinders
@@jorchi We are working hard to get more grinders out there at this challenging time :). Thanks for your support!
Comandante Grinder can’t wait to get one! By the way, where can we buy the cool sleeves /protective felt covers? They come in nice colours but they don’t sell them here in Australia :(
@@MapleMeHoney I'm working on that! There will be some with our next delivery to Australia :). In the meantime, you might have to look further abroad to find some 😇. All the best from Munich!
WOOOOWWW I'm so proud of my new Comandante grinder now after watching this!
I love my comandante. We are inseparable. I travel the globe about half the year on numerous trips. My comandante is always with me. Thank you for this video and thank you to the team at comandante.
Thank you, Vincent!
After I watched this manufacturing process I am going to order one ❤️👌
Thanks to my Red Sonja I have finally started to enjoy proper espresso at home... Danke schön Herr Braune! (and Team!)
Thank YOU!
Mine should be arriving tomorrow! They aren't easy to come by in the US, ended up purchasing from a vendor in New Jersey and I'm in California!
This is a truly amazing grinder! My wife gave me one three weeks ago. It changed my life at home!
Awesome!
This is so cool. I love German engineering, like HK. Very detail-oriented and uncompromising!
Thank you for the lovely comment ☕️💙 We hope to get back to their engineering space this year again to work on more videos.
Lovely tour! These guys are immensely passionate, could see it clearly in your video!
Just like everyone else here, i love my comandante. Impeccable build quality, proprietary burr design with research backing it apparently. And it's all assembled with hand, with such precision. I can see how comandante could have this reputation. Truly gold standard among high end hand grinders.
🙌❤️
Very nice video! Now I already know where my manual grinder was born. Greetings from Bulgaria.
interressting to see how much manpower and knowledge is in these grinders. looking forward to get one.
just pre-ordered it couple days ago, can’t wait for mine to come
Incredible timing, I got mine today! Really happy with the product, and also I'm really impressed at how polished and clean that factory is!
I love my C40 and it feels really good to know a little more about the team behind this wonderful grinder
Just buy it, you won’t regret it. It’s a fantastic work of engineering. I am on the road traveling for work and this Grinder has changed my life.
I would like to see comandante improve their distribution. They could probably sell many more units if they did. On the one hand I do like it that select coffee roasters and distributors sell it. But it’s kind of an Easter egg hunt. Turkish coffee guy in New Orleans does a good job with online orders but he’s about the only reliable online distributor in America. I bought a felt sleeve for the grinder from him and the red clix. I would have bought it initially but it was not available at the coffee shop that sold them and it was hard to find for sale online.
Thanks for the factory tour! After watching it a few days ago I decided to order one. And I'm watching it again while I wait for it to arrive. Can't wait to try it out!
Thanks for your support! 😍
Amazing video, thank you Ales and the European Coffee Trip team. I’d like to upgrade my grinder (I’m currently using a Barratza encore and a lower end Hario hand grinder) and this video, combined with your comparison of hand grinders video, has convinced me that the Commandante is the way to go. It was amazing to see the level of care and precision that goes into producing each Commandante grinder. Thanks again.
Much respect. Love that they produce in their home country. Gonna get one.
I love my Comandante grinder and never regretted the investment - it is really efficient and well made. You feel the quality and I love that I can make great coffee even when I am travelling. You really get what you pay for!

Makes me so proud to own one of these. So much passion!
Thanks a lot European Coffee Trip, great job! I think most viewers will now be thinking about these amazing people and their philosphy everytime they see a Comandate grinder!
Great video, as usual, guys! It was very interesting to see both the passion of the people behind the product and the production process itself. And let's joy forget: seeing the people who hand-made a product you use daily is super cool!
What a magnificent piece of work. German quality! Wishing to have one.
ruclips.net/video/3O4xFg-mC6I/видео.html
Love my Comandante! Thanks for the behind the scenes tour.
James Hoffmann’s review guided me to search for this, beautiful product 👍
Very interesting visit, that shows the founders love and passion
Absolutely loved this video! It was an excellent snapshot of the business and production side and you weren’t left feeling that you’d missed out on anything! The technical side of Burr design, which Bernd touched upon, would have captivated me further but therein lie the secrets of success....so we were lucky to get a snifter of it all.....😎😜 I was impressed by the numbers of workers that the process employs! It’s heartening to see a business that relies on its Staff and I got the impression that they all seemed contented in their employment? As it goes, I wouldn’t mind working there myself!
Next stop for you, KNOCK in Scotland.....😜
I’m about to upgrade to a commandante and I’m so excited!! Also so cool to see their heart and desire to strive for perfection! Thank you so much!
Love this 360 degree view!
That was an awesome video. I have a Comandante and it took my coffee to the next level, I love it.
This is a great video, thanks! I've always been fascinated by their engineering. I look forward to when I can get one of these grinders. The Comandante t-shirt is also very cool.
Respect for the dedication.
Old good German focus on quality. Proud owner of Commandate!
Im sold after considering multiple grinders. After seeing this video, I submitted a payment for the American Cherry today. Paid for 3-5 day shipping.
Was Really nice to get to know Them !!!!!
I didn't see anyone grind and make coffee. It looks like a great product.
ruclips.net/video/3O4xFg-mC6I/видео.html
the grinder is expensive, but after seeing this video, I can see the work and effort put into making this product. I don't feel too bad buying one now. Thanks for the video :)
this is an amazing video thank you, i have already been able to repair my grinder twice by myself using this as source material for how it goes together. great work!
I feel like rushing out and purchase a unit from the nearest distributor after watching this 😍
Do if you can. :D Can vouch for them.
Love the content you are producing! You are my favorite coffee channel I have found so far!
Thank you so much!
I didn't know that making a reliable and consistant grinder is the real challenge for a grinder making company. It takes much work, experience and engineering. Thanks for great and educating videos.
after watching this video i bet its worth the money
I’ve learned that it’s easy to sell any kind of products and earn lot of money but above all, quality, trustworthy, reputation is not that anyone can achieve. When you wanna do something do it with your heart, your passion most important thing is your hard work.
I can see it from your products with all the details you put it. Loved it!
I use Comandante grinder every morning and nothing can be replaced:)
Awesome video! Built by hand, so premium!
What a great company! Nice video and fun tour.
So cool. Thank you so much for this video🙏
Great video! Thanks a lot.
Wow, thank you bringing us this insight into Comandante. I wasn't in the market for a manual grinder, but I am now after seeing this. I hope they give you a discount for all the business you will surely bring them!! Love all of your videos - Cheers from Oregon!
Definitely :D
Thank you, Gordon!
Incredible product, incredible video… let’s us enjoy the product even more… thanks
I know I love my Comandante grinder, now I have more of an idea why! Awesome tour.
Thanks, Gary!
wish one day have this beauty
Great work @Comandante Grinder
, quality is never a coincidence.
Thank you 🙌🥰
Amazing video! thank you so much
I don't own a Commandante since I bought a Timemore X Lite which I absolutely love. But the brand has an amazing story and they deserve their success
Entry sent! Good luck everyone!
Wow I absolutely adore how dedicatedly the Comandante made that requires a lot of effort and skillful work to create the perfect one. I've just bought the Comandante grinder and this video helps me to understand that the price makes sense at all.
Awesome to learn about the Commadante grinder history! Especially the price on the particle analyzer
Кофемолка действительно хороша. Пользуюсь МК4 уже больше двух лет. Но вот недавно купил С60. Я очень доволен.
I won one of these awesome grinders in a regional Aeropress competition. It trumps my Baratza Precisco!
Congrats! 😍👍
I really enjoy my comandante c40 each afternoon since 1 year ago. A pleasure grind with it. So much respect for that passion you show us. Excelent product!!!! Proud of have one of wenge :)
Thanks for your support!
Now you see it's a piece of art.
Inspiring and encouraging. Get ready!!!
Thanks!
Truly inspiring words
Fantastic!!! So interesting!!
Love this video and the CEO’s passion. Placed an order today of the liquid amber version in the UK, can’t wait for it to arrive!
