Baratza Virtuoso conical burr grinder

Details

A proper and consistent grind is one of the things that can make the biggest impact on the flavour and enjoyment of your coffee. A consistent coffee particle shape is key to allow water to evenly and equally extract flavor out of the grind. Experts say it is the single most important piece of coffee brewing equipment and the place to first invest when purchasing brewing gear.

The Baratza Virtuoso offers high quality commercial-grade components, high performance and a sleek, modern style. 

commercial burrs

Manufactured in Italy, the Virtuoso’s 44mm grinding burrs are the same material and durability as the industry’s highest-quality line of commercial conical burr coffee grinders. The burrs have a precision mounting system to ensure a stable platform for accurate grinding.

adjustment and calibration

The Virtuoso has 40 steps of grind adjustment, from fine enough for a professional espresso machine and coarse enough for a French press. Each Virtuoso is calibrated when it is manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary the grinder can be user-calibrated.

powerful speed-controlled motor

The powerful, high torque 480 watt DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The Virtuoso 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 the event that specific user conditions require modification of the speed. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
