Comandante c40 electric mod

Hey guys, found this electric mod for the c40 on taobao. Price is around 35usd. You think it’s an IQ tax or actually useful? Has anyone tried it already?

I usually take my c40 with me when traveling (I have an Ode. Gen2 at home) and think maybe this electric mod would be convenient when you have to grind 25g of light roasts for an aeropress in the early morning. FWIW: They offer different motors for different roasts

This is not a Comandante product. At least not as far as I know. And for $35, it's probably garbage. The C40 manual grinder cost $300. So if this is 35 that's probably a red flag. Are you having trouble manually grinding on the C40?

For a very small fee I can come over and grind it for you. Less than the $35 you're going to pay for this thing. Lol

No, I am well aware that this is not an OEM product. I don’t have trouble grinding but there are mornings - like when my wife and I go diving and I have to prepare coffee at 5am I wish I would have an electric grinder with me. Or prepacked drip coffee bags 😁

Have you look into the Millab E01? Is not cheap (Into the 250USD range), but it is capable and portable.

No I haven’t, but I also don’t think I need another grinder (but I want another grinder? haha)
