| Description | If you’re looking for more control, more precision, and a grinder that feels like a serious step up, the Timemore C5 is exactly that. It builds on everything Timemore does well, but pushes further into grind accuracy and consistency. Whether you’re chasing clean, expressive filter coffee or dialling in espresso, the C5 gives you a level of control that makes a real difference in the cup. Why the C5 Stands Out Higher Precision, More Control At the core of the C5 is Timemore’s S2C-042-III burr set, paired with a finely tuned adjustment system that allows for 0.031mm per click with 48 steps per rotation. What that means in practice is simple: More precise adjustments Easier dial-in More consistent results You’re not guessing your grind anymore, you’re controlling it. Consistent, Balanced Extraction The C5 is designed with a longer grinding path and a burr profile aimed at producing both clarity and balance. This helps reduce uneven extraction, giving you a cleaner, more predictable cup whether you’re brewing espresso or filter. With a full metal construction using 420 stainless steel and aluminium alloy, the C5 feels solid and stable in hand. The addition of dual-axis bearings keeps the grinding motion smooth and controlled, even when working through denser beans. The numbered adjustment dial makes it easy to find and return to your preferred grind setting. Once you’ve dialled in your recipe, you can come back to it without second guessing. Timemore C5 Grinder Features: S2C-042-III stainless steel burrs (42mm) for consistent grind quality High precision adjustment: 0.031mm per click, 48 steps per rotation Dual-axis bearings for smooth, stable grinding All-metal body (420 stainless steel & aluminium alloy) for durability Textured engraved grip for improved handling… | The Comandante Grinder is one of the most well known and trusted coffee hand grinders on the market, handmade and assembled in Germany their team pay attention to every detail from the burr geometry to applying the wooden veneer and checking the grinders alignment. What’s new with the MK4: The Mk4 grinder is Comandante’s latest release following it’s predecessor the MK3 grinder, while 90% of the grinder remains the same and unchanged here’s what’s been updated: New Polymer Jar Made from a high quality BPA-Free Clear Polymer , these jars are incredibly durable and lightweight. These are the same dimensions of the MK3 and can still hold approximately 40 grams of roasted coffee. (Please note that the dimensions are the same and can be switched out with older MK3 jars) Lighter Weight Overall the new MK4 Comandante Grinders are around 600 grams and have had its weight reduced due to the Polymer Jars and the new designed internal structure. Wood sourcing & New Colours Comandante now source their wood sustainably for all their wooden outer body MK4 coffee grinders. as well as their sustainable sourcing they also have multiple colour ways available that are more affordable than the wooden veneer options. MK4 New Internal structure The MK4 has a new internal structure designed to prevent wastage and stop coffee beans from getting stuck in the axle slot (a common issue with the Comandante MK3 Grinders). The top part of the internal structure can easily be removed when disassembling and allows users to easily access the entire coffee grinder when cleaning. Comandante C40 MK4 Features: Comandante Burrs The 39mm burrs are made from High-Alloyed, High-Nitrogen Stainless Steel (Insanely tough and designed to last).
