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.

Features:

Additional features include:

  • Slow rotation insures extremely low static electricity issues.
  • Special gear reduction for slow rotation, ensuring the retention of the aroma and flavor of the freshly ground beans.
  • Large 5 oz ground-coffee bin as well as the ability to grind directly into espresso portafilters and drip coffee filters - bin area is large enough to accommodate even commercial sized portafilters for grinding directly into them, without the bin.
  • Hopper rotates for easy grind setting adjustment.
  • 40 grind settings from Turkish grind to French press.
  • A rotating timer switch provides automatically repeatable coffee powder dosing.
  • A momentary push-button switch, prominent on the nose of the grinder, allows for precise custom coffee powder dosing.
  • Ground coffee drops vertically into the tightly fitting coffee bin, insuring dust free operation.
  • Calibration system - ensures an accurate and repeatable range of grinding.
  • New DC motor - runs cooler, allowing for extended grinding times.

Specifications:

  • Measurements: 14"H x 5"W x 6"D.
  • Bean hopper capacity: 8 ounces.
  • Power: 110 volts only 160 Watts.
  • Warranty: 1 year limited parts and labor on materials and workmanship.
  • 40 steps of adjustment from espresso to coffee press.
  • Burr speed - 450 RPM. This slower speed ensures that the beans will feed smoothly into the burrs.
  • UL Listed.
  • Final assembly in USA.

Maestro Plus

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!

Maestro Plus

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.

Here is a really nice photo of the conical burr assembly - the top burr plate is removable for easy cleaning.
