Baratza Virtuoso+ Coffee Mill

Baratza's dedication to excellence includes the occasional update of its products, as is seen in the newly redesigned Virtuoso Plus. While the insides still have the same high-quality components, the outside timer switch has been replaced by a digital display on the front. The 40 second digital timer allows you to easily set a repeatable dose, with intuitive adjustments to the tenth of a second. A fantastic value for $249, and a solid, reliable choice overall; the Baratza Virtuoso Plus makes it easier than ever to grind professional quality coffee.

 
New features in the Virtuoso+:

• Digital display
• 40 second digital timer, adjustable to the tenth of a second for repeatable grinding time
• Front-mounted pulse button makes it easy to grind directly into an espresso brew basket
• Grounds bin is now clearer

Some of the Virtuoso+'s incredible features:

• Easily adjustable burrs can be calibrated to ensure accurate grind range from espresso to coarse in 40 separate settings
• Cast metal upper housing and base for beauty and stability
• High efficiency motor is powerful and spins slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation
• Special gear reduction to 600 RPM, along with new anti-static technology insures extremely low static
• New concise design of grinding chamber reduces coffee dust, making the removable burrs easy to clean
• Powerful 6.0 amp motor
• 8 oz. bean hopper
• Large 5 oz. grounds bin
  

Grind calibration provides 40 settings from espresso to coarse. The adjustment range is calibrated for precise, accurate performance. An innovative calibration system virtually eliminates grind variation and ensures identical performance from each grinder.
