Comandante central shaft – stainless steel
It sits at the heart of the grinder: the shaft everything turns around, and where the grind setting finds its hold. As an original spare part, it brings your Comandante back on track when the old shaft has served its time.
What you get here
This is the original central shaft in stainless steel for the Comandante C40. It carries the internal burr set and the click-based grind adjustment. With the standard shaft, one click shifts the grind setting by around 30 microns, and a full turn covers 12 clicks. Anyone looking for finer intermediate steps will find the alternative in the Red Clix shaft, with half the step size.
Stainless steel is durable and holds its shape – which is why the shaft is a part that rarely needs replacing, but is worth getting as an original replacement when the time comes.

From our roastery: a precise, well-maintained grinder is the foundation of every good cup. Freshly ground, full-bodied profiles like Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight unfold their sweetness – our recommendation for the great majority. Anyone looking for maximum body without acidity reaches for Very Nutty. That's our recommendation, one of many.
