Product Info
The COMANDANTE® C60 BARACUDA® is a robust, high-performance manual coffee grinder with the biggest and most advanced burr set design COMANDANTE® ever released.
This is not about bigger being better. COMANDANTE® were simply curious: how big a burr set could they fit into a familiar and manageable manual grinder format? In the end, the power of our BARACUDA burr set pushed them to create a new grinder body with a solid chassis that could harness its full potential. They developed a unibody construction, milled and crafted out of a single block of steel, for absolute stability and maximum drivetrain efficiency.
Creating this unibody construction out of steel is particularly challenging, but it’s absolutely worth it to create the perfect burr housing. COMANDANTE® have pushed the boundaries of manufacturing techniques and quality, using processes normally reserved for high performance motor parts. The result is a bold and clear-cut design that perfectly supports the function. It’s a hefty one-kilogram hand grinder that is simply so fun to use.
Made in Germany.

About Comandante
The best coffees in the world are produced with passion. From the small coffee tree to the harvest to the processing and roasting, everyone makes sure that you end up with the best result possible.
With the C40 Nitro Blade®, Comandante has developed a grinder that can get the best out of the coffees. With the Comandante, it is up to you to set the grinder perfectly for your coffees. From espresso to filter coffee to french press, everything is possible. The X25 Trailmaster® is also equipped with this burr set.
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.

Comandante Workflow
Place your Bean Jar on the Scale and dose your desired amount of Coffee.
Adjust the grind setting on the Comandante – to find the zero-point, turn the dial finer until the crank cant move freely any longer; from there, you can count the Clicks going coarser. This table is meant to be a loose guide, every coffee has its quirks:
Put the coffee into the grinder and grind ahead. When there is no more resistance while cranking, you'll have finished. Brew your coffee and enjoy!

Scope of Delivery
COMANDANTE® about Baracuda®
Inspired by the throughput of large conical burr sets, while maintaining the outstanding grinding performance we expect from a COMANDANTE® grinder. After extensive research and testing in our laboratory, we are thrilled with the grinding results.
GRIND PERFORMANCE
Large burr sets typically offer higher throughput than smaller ones, but usually require significantly more effort when grinding. Thanks to the optimized burr geometry of the BARACUDA, you not only get massive throughput but also a smooth and comfortable grinding experience, combining manageable crank torque with world-class particle distribution. With the C60, the entire world of brewing methods is open to you, allowing you to prepare delicious coffee from coarse filter grinds all the way down to super-fine settings for Cezve/Ibrik.
- Burr size: 50/36 mm (burr ring/burr cone)
- Burr material: NITRO REX® steel
Nitro Rex® Steel
COMANDANTE® burr sets are machined from a solid block of steel using state-of-the-art, custom-built machinery. For BARACUDA®, we use the same NITRO REX® steel that helped make our legendary C40 a championship grinder. The choice of this steel is the proud result of intensive research and development. From the very beginning, we chose a special high-alloy, nitrogen-rich stainless steel that is also distinguished by its exceptionally fine martensitic crystal structure.
Working with NITRO REX® steel presents a serious technical challenge, requiring not only specialized tools and machinery but also exceptional craftsmanship and extensive experience. Nitrogen-rich martensitic steel is extremely durable and wear-resistant. Burr sets made from NITRO REX® therefore retain their sharpness and offer an incredibly long service life. That is what we expect from all our grinders.
After hardening and tempering, we give the finished BARACUDA® its final technical refinement. We grind micro-blades into the tips of the Z-teeth to create an extremely sharp bean entry. Finally, the burr set is micro-polished for a surgically clean and brilliant finish.
Thanks to the material and our manufacturing process, your C60 BARACUDA® is ready to use immediately and does not require any seasoning.

hard as steel
Grinders made from NITRO BLADE® steel retain their sharpness due to their martensitic structure and are characterized by an incredibly long lifespan.
Precise
The Gold Clix® system allows for precise click-adjustment of the C60 Baracuda® for every coffee, exactly right. Finer than the standard axle, coarser than Red-Clix®: the golden mean.
Gigantic
With the largest grinder ever installed in a Comandante, the C60 Baracuda® grinds 2–3 times faster than a C40.
