Not for me + same old comandante problems
"I bought the hammerhead based on very limited reviews citing it producing for more complex and interesting cups than the regular nitro blade. However, it still tastes 90% of the regular model, in that it likes to highlight dark and roasted notes of your coffee. If you like fruity, colourful, or vibrant acidity, this will not provide it. It completely rounds off notes that would otherwise provide nuances in the cup. It compresses all the details of the cup down to the point that some can become lost. Yes it could be considered "complex", but its at a heavy cost to the number of individual tasting notes that bean could provide. If your palette gravitates to heavy desert wine rather than dry crisp wine, then you'll probably like it, but it doesnt flatter my palette, unfortunately. Other things to note. It still takes much longer to grind than the competition. Sometimes more than a minute for filter if you slow feed it, and upwards of 2 minutes for espresso. And the grind adjustment dial is as antiquated as ever. I have no doubt to comandante's machine engineering credentials. In testing, their burrs were drastically better machined than the likes of 1zpresso, but none of that matters if the cup isn't as compelling. On one last note, the customer service has been exceptional. I had a problem with my return and the distributor managed to fix it within the same day with outstanding communication."
