Grinder Commander Review

A handful of elements should guide the widespread journey of my daily work. Often, I leave for distant offosts over the land or by sea, where one of society's favorite comforts – a good cup of coffee – are a high order. But a bag of fresh beans and the Comandante C40 mk4 hand grinderI am sure that I will go beyond any barista that exists within 100 or does not exist, perhaps up to 1000 miles.

For the better part of a decade, I was on coffee and tested more burr -grinding than I remember. The C40 MK4 However manual coffee grinder What they were most attracted to: he served on several continents and never dropped out of order. I lived on my kitchen worksheet espressoTo French pressand moka pot It's been years and I don't think you'll go soon.

Why is the COMANDANE Hand Coffee Brother fantastic?

If you want the best cup of coffee for humanity, don't be fooled: apart from getting the latest beans as possible, there is nothing like a good burr grinder. After all, the coffee grinder is just as good as Burrs. (At the offensive risk, I say that the blade grinders don't matter.)

So listen to: if you refuse to spend more than $ 500 on a coffee grinder, consider the manual investment of Comandante C40 MK4.

It is certain that it is a costly little fuck, but it contains quality parts without fashionable electronics and large footprints of the worksheet. Of course, slower. You get a small upper body workout and a few cups of coffee more than a couple of cups of coffee, but in the end we're talking about Java. And the reason is that coffee cooked from COMANDANE is so large that Burrs.

When coffee is ground, consistency is key. No matter how fresh the beans are or what the brewing method is, the basics must be even. This is determined by the burrs or grinding handle in the grinder. The gentle, exactly the burrows, the basics they will be. In the absence of bells and whistles, comandante is devoted to most of the planning to Burrs, in the case of a large alloy, high nitrogen stainless steel that does not lose its edges unless tries to spoil it.

These high quality burrow provides evenly ground coffee. Too much “fine” or minuscule, dusty grinding, and eventually performs overly extracted mud, which is undesirable. Too many “rocks” or large particles and you get an under -experiment beer that does not work. During our testing of hand coffee grinders (and with my own use), the C40 mk4 surpassed all other minions when making a 600/800 microns base for the lead.

This leads us to another good for a small, easy -to -adjust hand grinder: although you probably do not throw half a dozen espresso in an instant, it is easy to tend to this grinder and its burrows. It is not advisable to set the grinder between fine and coarse settings, as it is slightly like a bicycle gears that would replace it too quickly, knocks out things out of the blow. With COMANDANTE, it is a bit easier to check the shift between grinding settings, thanks to the ergonomic milling disk, which, in the direction of the clockwise, to the coarse soils, in the same direction for the finer ways. (Tip for Espresso fans: Consider the Red clicA secondary axis that doubles about 40 factory settings when you want to dial the fine areas more accurately.)

Comandante is also easy to clean -which you have to do from time to time with the burr grinder. Just turn on the dial in the opposite direction to the walk until it appears and gets instant access to Burrs. In addition, electric machines tend to heat up, which heats the coffee beans while being grinding and can lead to inconsistencies.

Because 2.4 inches, 6.3 inches (and easy to dial in the size of the grinding and one or two tests can get a perfect cup of Joe under a breweries from a French press to Moka Pot, either plush a hotel, an Airbnb or an open fire.

LIZARD

How do I know that my grinder drills are worn out?

The easiest way to tell the burrow is worn out (or at least require checking and/or cleaning) if the grinder begins to underperform and consists of inconsistent reasons.
