Footnote: In some sources, it is referred to as click = click.
Espresso
How to set the Comandante C40 - Red Clix, we start our article with espresso. The Comandante is one of the few hand grinders that excels at grinding coffee for espresso. For this method of brewing coffee, grinding with the standard axle Comandante is optimal in about 10-15 clicks. In Red Clix Comandante, the number of clicks varies between 18 and 24.
Moka Pot
When brewing coffee with the Moka pot, you should grind your coffee finely. The moka pot is one of the most popular coffee brewing methods that requires fine grinding. The Moka requires 16-21 clicks with the Comandante C40 and 25-30 clicks for the Red Clix model, depending on the size of the pot.
AeroPress
Honestly, the best setting would be between 10 and 15 clicks. Because we have an endless number of recipes, ratios, timings and combinations for this brewing method. Therefore, it is not easy to set the standard for AeroPress. However, we'll give you some tips on traditional preferences for grinding with the Comandante 40 for the AeroPress. The first of these is around 20-22 clicks for the C40 model and 25-30 clicks for the Red Clix. With the inverted method, you can try grinding in the 24-28 and 32-36 clicks range, respectively.
V60 and so on
The V60 is one of the most popular alternative coffee brewing methods in third generation coffee. It has different sizes and filters. For singles, you can start by navigating between 25-28 clicks and find the most suitable grinding setting for yourself. In brews for two, you can go up to 38-42 clicks.
These settings are also compatible with Moccamaster machines. Let's also mention that we brew more, at least 18 oz (532 ml.) brews at a time with these coffee machines.
french press
Requires a coarser setting than normal for a French Press. Thus, coffee beans and water come into contact for a longer time. This process takes about four minutes.
When grinding for the French Press, we recommend searching for 32-37 clicks for the C40 and around 50-55 clicks for the Red Clix model.
Chemex
Designer pitcher Chemex and original paper filters require a coarser grind. This brewing method is most commonly used to make more than 18 oz. coffee. You should use thick, efficient paper and ideally brew the coffee for about 4 minutes. For all these reasons, it is better to use thicker coffee. Click 40-45 times with standard axle version. With the Red Clix model, I usually stay at 55-60, 65 clicks.
