DESCRIPTION

Baratza Virtuoso Grinder

The Baratza Virtuoso is a beautifully designed burr coffee grinder, offering professional level performance with an elegant appearance. It has been designed for home, office and light commercial applications. The professional grade 40mm conical burrs produce a consistent, fine grind which is critical for the perfect espresso. The Virtuoso also excels at producing a a consistent grind particle size for French Press. This consistency at both the coarse and fine ends of the grind range puts the Virtuoso in a class all by itself.

A convenient front mounted pulse On/Off button allows you to grind directly into your espresso brew basket if desired, while a 60-second timer can be used to easily replicate grind times. Additional features of the Baratza Virtuoso include a large 8-oz. bean hopper and a 5-oz. removable anti static ground coffee bin.

Which Baratza Grinder should I buy? This is a great question with a complex answer. One important factor in choosing a grinder is the brewing method you will be using. Baratza grinders are designed to offer a wide range of adjustment for use with many brewing methods. As you can see from the chart below, all of our grinders will grind from coarse to fine, but the Virtuoso, Preciso and Vario are better suited for the very fine grind needed for espresso.

The above chart is very general in nature. Your specific grinder selection will be affected by numerous factors including: personal taste, brewing style, coffee types, your budget and experience.


Grinding for Espresso: As you can see on the chart above, espresso falls into four categories. Moka or stovetop espresso machines require a fine grind which all of our grinders can provide. Pump Espresso machines with a pressurized portafilter usually sell for $300. The pressurized portafilter is designed to create pressure, relying less on the accuracy of the grind. All our grinders can provide this grind. Pump Espresso machines with a non-pressurized filter require a very fine and accurate grind. The grind, dose and tamp create the pressure for a great espresso. The Virtuoso, Preciso, and Vario will give you the fine, accurate grind you need. If you are looking for an espresso grinder that can be dialed in for the perfect espresso (typically $500+ espresso machines), consider the Preciso or the Vario that have micro adjustment for fine tuning the grind.
