For these Premium Wood models of our beloved C40 Mk4 Nitro Blade grinder, we responsibly source trees from our local partners and carefully select the most beautiful pieces of timber for making our 100% natural veneers.

Reducing the timber to fine sheets of veneer is an amazing process because you discover the incredible natural patterns of the wood grain, which emerge on each slice. Every piece of veneer that we use on our C40 grinders is considerately chosen and carefully cut to size. Trees are such a valuable natural resource, so it’s not only important to responsibly source them, we feel it’s our duty to do every piece justice and make sure every grinder shows the beauty of the wood!

Our passionate crafts- men and women carefully laminate the veneer onto the stainless steel grinder body, before it is meticulously sanded and polished with a natural hard wax oil. The latter is repeated several times in order to get the desired smooth and shiny surface.

It’s a particularly difficult process when you’re working with hard woods, but for us the result is totally worth it. This combination of the robustness of steel and the beauty and warmth of wood has always been at the heart of our design since the get go.

It goes without saying that the visual effect is important. For us, the user’s tactile experience is absolutely crucial too. It’s a difference that you can see, feel, and even hear whilst grinding.

The iconic Comandante C40 is a robust, high performance grinder with an advanced and pioneering burr set: Nitro Blade. And the new Mk4 generation just got even better!
