Not only is it gorgeous, but it’s also known as one of the best hand grinders on the market today. We’re so incredibly thrilled to be collaborating with Caffe Fantastico (Canadian distributor of Germany’s iconic COMANDANTE)! Not only did they send us the grinder, but they also sent us a couple bags from their fantastic lineup of coffee roasts. I used their Causeway Fantastico for the espresso and the Peru Finca Tasta for the pour over, AeroPress and French Press. Caffe Fantastico’s coffee is outstanding. I’ll be ordering more very soon.
I wanted to create a video that would show our followers this hand grinder’s versatility. If you’re new to coffee culture or you typically don’t grind your coffee beans at home, you may not realize that different grind sizes are required for different coffee brewing methods. For example, coffee should be ground fine for espresso, course for French press, and somewhere in the middle for pour over and AeroPress. Every brew method has an optimal grind size, and that optimal grind size can vary depending on your personal preference.
Grind size on Comandante hand grinders is measured in clicks. The lower number of clicks the finer the grind size and vice versa.
The grinder handled every grind size perfectly and without breaking a sweat. Here are the recipes I used for today’s coffees:
Pour Over (V60):
30g coffee beans
500g hot water
25 clicks
AeroPress:
16g coffee beans
220g hot water
18 clicks
French Press:
30g coffee beans
450g hot water
32 clicks
Espresso (double shot):
18g coffee beans
120g hot water
8 clicks
Grinding coffee with this unit was so easy and so satisfying. Some of the next brew methods I do will include Turkish coffee, moka pot coffee, and cold brew. I am so happy with the grinder.
