Coffee Grinder Baratza Virtuoso+

The Baratza Virtuoso+ is a home coffee grinder designed to deliver consistent, café-quality grounds. Featuring a 70 W high-torque DC motor and 40 mm manufactured conical burrs, it produces uniform particles across a grind range suitable for espresso, drip and French press. The grinder includes a digital timer and an intuitive interface for repeatable dosing and 40 grind settings to select the appropriate particle size for different brewing methods.

Advantages

The Virtuoso+ provides a uniform grind with minimal fines thanks to precision-mounted 40 mm conical burrs. A direct-drive gear reduction and a controlled 550 RPM burr speed reduce heat, noise and static while maintaining steady bean feed. The motor’s thermal overload protection and an automatically resetting thermal cutoff ensure safe operation during normal home use. A clear grounds bin with LED backlighting and low grind retention help preserve freshness and allow visual monitoring during grinding.

• Espresso preparation at home

How to use

Fill the hopper with whole beans, select a grind setting by turning the hopper to the desired step for your brewing method, and set the digital timer for the required dose. Start the grinder and allow it to run until the timer stops; repeatable dosing is achieved via the timer adjustable to the tenth of a second. For calibration or fine adjustments, use the burr calibration system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not operate continuously for extended periods — grind one dose at a time for home use to avoid thermal cutoff activation.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose a grind setting appropriate to your brew: fine settings for espresso, medium for drip/pour-over and coarse for French press. Clean the grounds bin and hopper regularly and follow the burr maintenance guidance to preserve grind consistency and burr sharpness.
