Are you looking to buy Comandante C40 MK4 Lab Series - Hammerhead Burr Coffee Hand Grinder in Australia?
The Comandante Lab Series takes the proven C40 grinder and tunes it for different flavour profiles, giving you the same premium build with three distinct burr personalities. Each option is designed to highlight something different in the cup, whether that’s clarity, balance, or body. Choosing the right burr comes down to how you brew and what you enjoy most in your coffee.
The Nitro Blade is the all-rounder, delivering clean, balanced results across espresso and filter. The TigerShark is tuned for high clarity and brightness, making it ideal for filter brewing and showcasing fruity, floral coffees. The Hammerhead focuses on body and sweetness, producing a heavier, richer cup that suits espresso and milk-based drinks.
If you want one grinder to do it all, go Nitro Blade. If you’re chasing clarity and separation in filter coffee, TigerShark is the move. If you prefer texture, depth, and a more traditional espresso profile, Hammerhead will suit you best.

"Back to the Lab... Introducing the Comandante C40 Lab Series - Hammerhead® Burr
„A completely new burr geometry for just one type of coffee?
It all started with a tiny lot of Yellow Pacamara beans from my old friend Erwin. They had a rare, uniquely vibrant taste – dense, floral, juicy, velvety complex – but only if you hit the grind just right. So I asked myself: What if there were a burr geometry tailored specifically to unlock the full character of these exceptional beans?
A wild idea? Absolutely. But when you’ve got a fully equipped burr lab and CNC machine, and the freedom to explore, you just do it. Because you can. What emerged was Hammerhead®: a burr forged with a distinctive Hexagonal Block Blade geometry, inspired by the iconic shape of the hammerhead shark. It’s engineered to handle the size and density of larger beans like Pacamara with remarkable precision, elevating their full-bodied sweetness and fruit-
forward complexity.
Ohhh, I love Yellow Pacamara. And I love my Hammerhead® burr. Over the years, I kept refining it – tweaking geometry, teeth, and angles – until it performed beautifully across a wide range of coffee types.
Today, this funky-looking thing is a versatile, high-performance burr that delivers outstanding grind quality – whether you’re brewing a chunky Pacamara, a petite heirloom, or anything in between. It embodies the precision and performance that define Comandante®.
What began as something personal and experimental became too good to keep to myself. If you love it dense and juicy, with defined fruit clarity and structured sweetness, Hammerhead® might just be the perfect match.” - Bernd Braune | El Comandante"
