Commercial Grade Conical Burrs
Manufactured in Italy, the Baratza Virtuoso Coffee Grinder’s 40 mm grinding burrs are the same material and durability as the industry’s highest quality line of commercial conical burr coffee grinders. Durable conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds - from very fine to coarse - and will remain sharp for many years. The burrs have a precision mounting system that ensures a stable platform for accurate grinding.
Grind Coffee For Any Brewing Method
Although there are many coffee grinders on the market, few have the ability to grind fine enough for a professional espresso machine and coarse enough for a press pot. The Virtuoso Coffee Grinder has 40 steps of adjustment. Select the perfect setting by turning the bean hopper to the desired position.
Innovative Calibration
Commercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that the grinder has the range to grind fine enough for espresso and coarse enough for press pot. This feature is available in the Virtuoso. The grinders are calibrated when manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary, the user can calibrate them as well.
DC Motor
The powerful, high torque 480 watt DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. The motor turns slowly, which results in a cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The grinder's circuitry is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal cutoff switch.
Unique Speed Control
The Baratza Virtuoso Coffee Grinder uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 450 RPM. The electronic speed controller is adjustable from 405 to 495 RPM in case specific user conditions require speed modification. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder and ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
Timer Switch and Pulse Button
The Baratza Virtuoso has a sixty second timer with segmented graphics for easily repeatable grind times. It also has a front-mounted pulse button that manually controls the on/off function. This is nice for grinding a small amount of coffee for espresso.
Pulse Button Makes Espresso Easy
If you have an espresso machine, you will enjoy the convenience of being able to grind directly into the machine's filter basket. After removing the coffee grounds bin, you can insert your filter basket (portafilter) directly under the dispensing chute to collect the coffee as it is being dispensed. You can push the pulse button with your thumb while holding the filter basket for true single-handed operation.
Easy To Clean
One important and often overlooked task required for good coffee grinder maintenance is routine cleaning. To clean the Baratza Virtuoso Coffee Grinder, just remove the coffee bean hopper to expose the grinding chamber. At this point, the outer ring burr simply lifts out. The entire grinding chamber can then be thoroughly cleaned within a few minutes.

REVIEWS & COMMENTS
GREAT FOR COFFEE BREWING
samuellaw178 | Sat, 12/24/2011 - 17:49As mentioned by other reviewers, this is a great affordable grinder without going over ~$1k mark. It gives consistent grind size and repeatable setting for non-espresso use. For espresso, you might want to get its brother, Preciso, for a better microadjustment. Plus, Baratza has very good customer service so you probably have nothing to worry about in at least a few years.
NEW BURRS!
intrepid510 | Fri, 12/16/2011 - 00:38Baratza just keeps getting better, they are now offering the same burrs as are in the Virtuoso Preciso in this grinder. This improvement arguably makes this the best grinder on the market for non-espresso coffee grinding. The burrs that were first introduced in the Preciso allow for a more uniform grind with less "fines" those fines are what produce bitter notes.If you are not planning on make espresso at home you have found your ultimate grinder, no need to look any farther.
CONSISTENT GRIND AND QUIET
Gloria | Sun, 11/06/2011 - 10:39It's easy to use, either grinding into the bin below or grinding straight into the portafilter. Simple and quiet!
EXCELLENT GRINDER
EricBNC | Thu, 10/20/2011 - 21:53Does everything from press to fine drip with ease - can handle espresso grinding too but lacks fine adjustment in the tighter range - can be modded to a step-less grinder if the need arises.
GROOD FOR DRIP
speedstar | Tue, 06/28/2011 - 08:50I started with this one for drip and it was a good grinder for that. My wife used it mostly and we have since moved on the the Vario. This one is good for drip though.
LOVE IT SO FAR
jbviau | Mon, 05/16/2011 - 16:15Far superior (i.e. more consistent) grind relative to what I was getting with a Hario Skerton mill before. My only complaints are nitpicks, e.g. the plastic hopper doesn't always seem perfectly seated. Re: noise, it's noticeable but not loud enough to wake a sleeping 3-year-old upstairs. Recommended.
GOOD FOR MOST APPLICATIONS
broseph | Tue, 12/14/2010 - 15:20This is really good for drip coffee. Handles a French Press pretty well too, though the Maestro might be better for that. Not ideal for espresso because you lack micro-adjustment here.
EXCELLENT GRINDER
olsodj | Sun, 01/31/2010 - 21:07My first burr grinder: many grind settings available (0-40), grinds fine enough for espresso and grind is consistent. Built to last. ROASTe provided great service!
