Baratza Maestro PLUS Coffee Grinder
Overview:
The Maestro Plus has all of the basic features of the Maestro,
plus..
A sixty second adjustable timer with segmented graphics can be
set for easily repeatable grind times. A front-mounted pulse button
makes it easy to grind directly into an espresso filter basket.
A beautiful brushed metal base adds a rock-solid feeling of quality
and provides increased stability when using the pulse button.
A sculpted metal base and the monochromatic enclosure give this
grinder a bold, distinctive look. The new base and additional
improvements over its predecessor contribute to more than a doubling
of the weight over the current Maestro to 7.5 lbs. This additional
weight gives the Maestro Plus a rock-solid feel with increased
stability. The Maestro Plus is designed and assembled in the USA,
and has many new features suggested by some of America's most
respected coffee experts.
The Maestro Plus is built with conical burrs that can produce
the perfect grind for any style of coffee - from Turkish to French
Press. The range of grind is 30% greater than the original Maestro
which makes it easier to get the perfect grind for Drip and French
Press. The number of grind setting has been increased by over
100% to 40 steps, providing more grind adjustments. New graphics
on the timer switch and the grind adjustment make this grinder
easy to use.

One significant item that separates the Maestro from other
sub-$200 grinders is the heavy base on the bottom. When we lifted
this grinder for the first time, we were impressed! |

Although very difficult to photograph, you can see the push
button for grinding only what you need. The white piece is the
small chute that contains very little coffee grinds. |
