Comandante Wood Knob Beech Wood Purple ø 44 mm
Your palm wraps around smooth, warm beech wood, a slight pressure on the crank, and the steady grinding begins. With every rotation, the deep purple turns with it – a small accent that transforms a spare part into a piece of personality on your counter.
What makes this knob special
The knob is made from solid beech wood and is finished in a deep purple. With a 44 mm top diameter, it sits comfortably between your fingers and gives the cranking motion a smooth, even feel. It can be attached without tools – simply pull off the old knob, push on the new one, and you're done.
Haptics and optics influence enjoyment long before the first sip: a surface that feels good and a color 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 anyone who wants to customize the color of their Comandante C40 or replace a worn knob. Wood is a natural product – grain and color 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 options 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 is worthwhile, rewarding the effort – Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight are our recommendation 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, choose Wild Peach. This is our recommendation, one of many.
