INCLUDES 10oz Bag of Cafe Del Sol Burrs are usually treated like commodity items – functional and standardized. They’re tucked away inside the grinder, rarely celebrated, seldom questioned. But what if the burr geometry held the key to unlocking hidden taste potential, something roast curves or brew methods can’t fully reveal? For over a decade, Comandante® founder Bernd Braune has been working on innovative concepts for conical burr sets. At our Bavarian Burr Lab, our engineers have been pushing the boundaries of machining technology and developing pioneering tooling to achieve them. Lab Series gives you more freedom to experiment and explore flavor possibilities. Global brewing styles and taste preferences are subjective and, like coffee itself, wonderfully diverse. Embrace this diversity, confidently explore what tastes best to you, and enjoy not just the result, but also the journey getting there. "Built for the wild Nature and expeditions have always been a big part of my life. And I’d never head outdoors without a proper tool to make a fresh cup of coffee. I had this idea of a universal burr, something that could handle everything I love: light-roasted washed Typica and freshly cooked flatbread by the fire. Light-roasted beans behave differently. Their higher density and lower brittleness change the way they fracture. Most traditional burr geometries just don’t have the bite or sharpness to handle them well. Out in the field, I also grind green spelt and rye grain for outdoor flatbread – totally different to work with, and equally demanding. That’s how TIGERSHARK® was born – with a unique Double Shark-Tip Blade Structure, inspired by the bite of a tiger shark. It cuts, slices and fractures with striking efficiency – whether it’s a Nordic roast or field grain. Crafted from our high-performance stainless steel NITRO REX®, it’s razorsharp, incredibly durable, and fully washable. No worries, no compromises. I made TIGERSHARK® for curious people – to grind whatever they need, wherever their journey may take them. And after years of using it in the field, I can say with confidence: This burr is a little beast. I never leave town without it.” Bernd Braune | El Comandante Steel Refinement Process Electroflux-Based Purification (ESR) Precision Micro-Polishing Process Steel Manufacturing Aerospace Quality Approved FAB SAE SA 9100 / DIN EN 9100 100% Sustainable Process Energy High Wear Resistance Exceptional durability.
