Description

Baratza Virtuoso+ Coffee Grinder

The Baratza Virtuoso+ is a new upgraded model from the previous Virtuoso that has sold for years. New to the Virtuoso+ digital display which replaces the old timer switch.

Grinding adjustment
  • Stepped – Wide range of 40 settings you can quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse for French press. The grind range is from 200 to 1200 microns.
  • Multi purpose – The wide range of settings makes it easier to go back and forth between settings when comparing to a stepless grinder. This makes this grinder more suitable if you use more than 1 type of coffee maker(ex espresso machine and Chemex).
Grinding burrs
  • Concial grinding burrs – European manufactured at 40 mm. Generates less heat buildup than flat burrs. Produces a very uniform grind. Very durable burrs and will remain sharp for many years. The burrs have a precision mounting system to ensure a stable platform for accurate grinding.
  • Performance – Capable of grinding beans up to 2.4 grams a second depending on your current grind setting.
  • Calibration system – Helps ensure that your grinder has the full range of grind. If necessary, you can recalibrate your grinder.
  • Retention reduction – The less grinds left in the grinder, the more fresh your espresso will be.
Electronic controls
  • Digital timer – The motor is controlled by a 40 second digital timer adjustable to the tenth of a second, allowing for repeatable dosing.
  • Speed control – The Virtuoso+ uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the grinding burr speed to 500 RPM. This helps reduce heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.

  1. Changing grind settings: As with all coffee grinders, it is very important to only change grind settings when the unit is powered ‘on’ and the burrs are in motion. If you do not do this, the burrs will ‘gunk’ up and require cleaning by you every time this occurs. Changing the grind settings when the burrs are not in motion will render the grinder to only produce very coarse grinds or no grinds at all. If this result occurs, this will be considered operator error for lack of following directions, and not be classified as a defective grinder.
  2. Finding coffee grinds in a new grinder: We have confirmed that the manufacturer tests EVERY grinder with coffee beans before it leaves their facility, but they are not always able to get every trace of coffee out of the grinders after testing. As a result, you may find coffee beans or grinds inside your grinder, or there may be grinds in the packaging when you unwrap it.
  3. Static issues: There are static issues with all grinders, even the highest quality models. We firmly believe that the static comes from the coffee beans. If you are having static problems with your coffee grinder, trying using a different blend of beans.
  4. Replacing burrs: NEVER use a flat head screwdriver and hammer to wedge under the burrs for removal. This could badly damage your grinder.
  5. Electrical cord: Please note that the electrical cord is placed between the packaging (foam or cardboard) and the underside body of the grinder. During shipping, it is normal for a bend or insignificant blemish / slice to damage the cord.

Espresso Grinder Warning

  • CLEANING WARNING: We recommend using grinder cleaning agents. We do not recommend any removal of the burrs or burr carrier for cleaning as re-assembly can cause damage.
  • ELECTRICAL WARNING: To avoid electrical damage to this espresso grinder which is not considered a manufacturer's defect, please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. The lack of the recommended surge suppressor, the espresso grinder can be damaged at the power switch, the capacitor, the motor, or the wiring.
