Great Choice: Baratza Virtuoso - Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

The Virtuoso is the grinder that will get you there with function, elegance, and style. It is a great all round grinder, from manual brewing to espresso.

Manufactured in Europe, the Virtuoso’s 40 mm conical burrs grind coffee at 1.5 to 2.4 g/sec, depending on the setting. But what really sets the Virtuoso burrs apart is that these burrs can do a very uniform grind, with a distinct lack of fines across its grinding range.

In 2012, Baratza introduced the second generation Gearbox (GB 2.0) - this has significantly increased the strength and durability of the drive transmission while decreasing noise.

Turn the hopper and with 40 settings you can quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse for French Press. The grind range is from 250 to 1200 microns.

To maximize freshness, the Virtuoso minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder.

With unique speed control, the Virtuoso uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 500 RPM. It also has a 60-second timer with segmented graphics, for easily repeatable grind times.
