      Virginia Wallnut is muuuuuch better for me! Here's the question, is it ok if handle not fixed permanently, but has some small range of movement when on the grinder

      I have a question regarding the cleaning liquids. How important is the wood care set/ burr care set? I’ve never seen anyone even mention them except for this video where the wood fluid is briefly mentioned :)

    I recently bought the black mk4 after hearing you folks talk about Comandante in so many videos over the years, 1 month in and it's been a whole new experience of coffee brewing. I loved the cleaning tips here, super helpful and practical advice!

    I so in love with my Comandante! It"s truly a game-changer for everyday uses.

  •  2 года назад +31

    Comandante shows that everything can be made in Europe and not just designed. The price is higher, but it's a grinder for life and not like a smartphone for two years. Virginia walnut is a classic, but liquid amber looks really great.

  • @cleecoat12
    @cleecoat12 2 года назад +2

    I love the team’s videos. Both grinders are top quality, and I would be grateful any of the two. I would be prone for the liquid Amber though. Keep the great educational content coming!

  • @alvaralu
    @alvaralu 2 года назад

    I also thought it was pricy prior to buying. After reflecting, reading and watching videos for over 2 weeks. It was the clear best choice. And I’ve been enjoying it every day. Cheers!

  • @francislozada552
    @francislozada552 2 года назад +1

    Finally a video that discuss a detailed maintenance of the Comandante! Also the first vid that I saw which discuss the wood care balm that Comandante is selling. The Virginia Walnut is more appealing as it shows the grains of the wood which it came from.

    I have an Aunt in California whose name is Virginia. I also lived in the state of Virginia for a number of years while I was in the Navy. Saying that I think I still prefer the Liquid Amber finish as that is a good description of have a cup of lovely coffee. Great video. I have a black C40 and wrap rubber bands tightly around it to keep firmly in my hand as I grind.

    @impaque 2 года назад +3

    One thing of note is, when cleaning, remember the position of the burr you detach relative to the crank and when assembling return it in the same position. Not sure if the factory "ideally" calibrates just for one position (there are six possible positions you can attach the burr to the axle), but I've noticed that in one position of those six burrs are not touching even at the setting of 1! On others, they touched at positions 3, 2... So it looks like there's one perfectly centered position and the others are a bit off.

  • @meursault.1984
    @meursault.1984 2 года назад +2

    I have tried my friend's commandante and I can clearly taste the difference of the grinds it produces compared to other grinders. The brews definitely tasted more sweet and fruity/juicy after comparing the same coffee bean, grind and brew with my cheaper grinder. Also, I think I like the shade of Victoria Walnut better.
    Can I also suggest if you can do some pour over recipe recommendations for some beans or on how to bring out certain taste notes better. Thanks

    Always had a fascination with the high-end hand grinders like Comandante and Kinu. All my specialty coffee friends swear by either of the 2, but sadly as a broke grad student the price tag is a bit much for me. For the raffle though, the Virginia Walnut just has that special oomph to its look imo
