Comandante Wooden Knob Smoked Black Oak ø 44 mm
The palm wraps around smooth, deep black oak, a light press on the crank, and the steady grinding begins. The elegant, deep black tone and the palpable grain turn a replacement part into a piece of personality on the counter.
What makes this knob special
The knob is made of solid oak, smoked black for an elegant, deep black tone. With a top diameter of 44 mm, it sits comfortably between the fingers and gives the cranking motion a smooth, round run. It is attached without tools – simply pull off the old knob, put on the new one, and you're done.
Haptics and optics influence the enjoyment long before the first sip: a surface that feels good and a wood tone that matches your own corner make daily grinding a moment to look forward to. This is our observation, one of many.

Who the knob is for
For everyone who wants to upgrade their Comandante C40 with a wooden tone or replace a worn knob. Wood is a natural product – grain and color tone vary slightly with each piece, making each knob unique. Nobody needs it. Those who want it know why.
What goes with it
Further original parts and personalization can be found in the Comandante Collection – central axle, cranks, and the Red Clix for finer grind resolution. The matching grinder can be found in Hand Coffee Grinders. For brewing afterwards: Pour-Over Drippers. When weighing, your workflow decides – compact and affordable with a scale from the Normcore Collection, with app and flow rate display from the Acaia Collection.

From our coffee roastery: For hand grinding, a full-bodied bean that rewards the effort is worthwhile – Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight are our recommendations for the vast majority, dense, chocolatey, nutty. If you're looking for maximum body without acidity, go for Very Nutty; if you want to discover a fruity experience, go for Wild Peach. This is our recommendation, one of many.
