How much is the Comandante C60?
If you’re looking for a robust, heavy-duty, high-performance manual coffee grinder, the Comandante® C60 Baracuda® is an excellent choice. Both grinders use a central axle design, but the burr sizes are different. The C60 has large Baracuda® conical burrs, while the C40’s burrs are around 38mm. This increases the surface area of the C60’s burrs making it more efficient, grinding coffee faster and more consistently.The C60 Baracuda® contains a burr set that is a lot bigger compared to the Nitro Blade® in the C40 grinders. Due to this, it grinds significantly faster. The burr set itself is made from the same tried and tested steel as the Nitro Blade® burr sets.Performance and user experience in practical use, the c40 takes about 30 to 45 seconds to grind coffee for a pour over, while the c60 only takes around 20 seconds. The larger burrs of the c60 baracuda grinder have a bigger surface area that make grinding coffee easier and quicker.Both the traditional Comandante C40 range and the Comandante C60 Range offers excellent grind size distribution across all grind sizes and accounts for grinding coffee from espresso to pour over and even coarser grind sizes such as Cold Brew and cupping brew methods.
Why is C60 so expensive?
Why is it so expensive? Supercharged C60 is considered a super antioxidant to support detoxification, promote healthy aging, and boost immune health. It has an advanced form of multi-layered and highly organized carbon fullerenes at least one hundred thousand times more potent than regular Carbon 60. C60 strongly absorbs free radicals, inhibits the toxicity of chemical toxicants, resists radiation, prevents ultraviolet damage, and prevents heavy metal–induced cell damage. It has potential applications in the fields of cosmetics, medical devices, and medicine.Most current evidence suggests that C60 isn’t toxic in humans, though more research is needed. According to a 2016 review , human and animal studies have found that reactions to application of C60 on the skin are uncommon. One 2012 study found that various doses of C60 dissolved in corn oil were not toxic to rats.No harmful effects of C60 supplementation have been confirmed by tissue histology. C60 changed the gut microbiota towards bacteria that ameliorate lipid homeostasis. C60 caused tissue-specific changes in oxidative markers. C60 increased insulin resistance.
What is the clicks on Comandante C40 vs C60?
The Comandante C60 Baracuda grinder has 21 microns between each click, this is smaller than the c40 which has 30 microns between each click and is just slightly larger than the Comandante C40 with the Red Clix upgrade installed (15clicks). Burr grinders are the industry standard for espresso grinding and are placed into two categories: flat burrs and conical burrs. The type of burrs, the material they are made of, and their size all affect how consistent your grind will be and impact the taste of your coffee (RPMs of your grinder also play a part here).Both the traditional Comandante C40 range and the Comandante C60 Range offers excellent grind size distribution across all grind sizes and accounts for grinding coffee from espresso to pour over and even coarser grind sizes such as Cold Brew and cupping brew methods.Manual grinders geared towards espresso feature a unique burr set capable of grinding extremely fine, as well as an adjustment mechanism that allows for small changes to grind size. These are a great choice for home espresso enthusiasts brewing 1-2 consecutive shots, but do require some effort!
