Don’t Dump it, Fix it!

Most small, consumer appliances are designed to wear out, or stop being useful in a very short time. These appliances are difficult and expensive to repair, so consumers are trained to dump and replace which has big environmental implications.

In contrast, we’ve purposefully designed Baratza grinders to be maintained like commercial grinders and maximize their value. With regular cleaning, maintenance, repair, and even rebuilds our grinders can give an excellent, accurate grind for many years.

Great grinder…super messy
4 Stars
Great grinder…super messy
The grinder is great but it creates an absolute mess. The bin it grinds into is plastic and as the grinds pour in they cling to the edge with static. When you remove the bin they fall all over the counter and I’m constantly cleaning all around it with every use. It’s annoying.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yup. Life changer.
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2020
Verified Purchase
Got an espresso maker for my birthday, but we only had a hand grinder. So guess what? SORE arms all around. Grinding fine grounds every morning for 20+ mins was really taking its toll on me. I'm lazy. In the AM, I'm tired. I want coffee NOW, not in 20-30 mins. So what'd we do?

We got this baby, after searching high and low for an auto Burr. We ALMOST got the lesser model without the LED display and light, but boyo, this thing is REALLY, REALLY worth every single penny. My arms (though less buff) thank me kindly, and reducing coffee time from 30 mins down to 1 minute? a blessing. Do yourself a favor and get this one for the coffee lover in your life, even if that means YOURSELF. NOW'S THE TIME to TREAT. No tricks.

Pros-
Easy to clean
Extremely fast grinds
STRONG and FAST grinding. CONSISTENT.
Versatile settings
Adjustable times, and pulse mode.

Cons-
*There is a learning curve for grounds! Everyone has different taste. Plus the pamphlet is pretty off in terms of what ground settings go good with each type of coffee. I think the settings say 8 for Espresso.... our first run the machine got completley stopped up when we tried to brew. It was too dense. We adjusted to 10, 9 at the finest and it ran fine, perfect even. This con isnt the machines fault, just the manual's / the company's 'suggested settings'.

* If I could change anything about this grinder, it;d be the way the grind time is entered. You turn the dial clockwise to add seconds, counterclockwise to reduce half (.X) seconds. Which is kind of annoying! You're constantly twisting the dial counter clockwise to like you're winding a clock. MILDLY irritating at worst, but not a dealbreaker.

* The instructions for how to build it are a little bit too vague. Had to go online to watch multiple step by steps, because the manual didnt explain how to put on the (Silicone? Plastic? Rubber?) burr protector. The Manual needs a total rehaul tbth, its not written well, the times are all off, and its missing crucial info. Again, not a huge issue, just irritating if youve never used one of these before.

THATS IT! Once you work out the kinks, its perfect. The grinds are super consistent and beautiful. We've used it for espresso, pour over, and most importantly, cold brew, since we can grind with much higher volumes now. YES, we used to make cold brew with our tiny hand crank, do not reccomend. Now you'll be crushing 100g of coffee in 10 seconds flat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice upgrade from previous electric grinder
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2024
Verified Purchase
About 3 years ago, we decided to upgrade our home coffee brewing routine and purchased a Shardor Electric grinder for around $35.00. It worked, but adjusting the grind size was near impossible and a lot of 'fines' escaped, stuck to the hopper and some residual remained inside the components. So we decided to purchase the Virtuoso and are very pleased. This grinder is adjustable. Coffee tastes better and is less bitter. The motor has adequate torque and does not rotate as rapidly as the Shardor, reducing overheated beans. There is much less static and buildup of fine coffee particles. The coffee-grinds drawer is well designed and is lit, giving it a more expensive look. Clean up is also easier, since less grinds seem to escape everywhere, like with the Shardor. Overall, we are pleased with this coffee grinder, we like that replacement parts can be purchased for servicing, and would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their home coffee brewing experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars A big step up for us
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2023

This was a present to me, as my spouse resisted me getting it. 'The old one is good enough', was the thought. It was a several year old Krups and was not giving us consistent grounds. I had the size turned all the way up and we were still getting too much sludge in our cups. And, I was not pleased with the taste...lack of smoothness. I read reviews on grinders and decided on the Virtuoso+ over the cheaper model. I can say that this is a quality appliance. The design is evident. However, I do agree with the reviewer who criticized the Timer knob, and the difficulty setting various times. They are right...it is a pain when you want to vary the size down (not up), since the timer only increments in that direction using tenths of a second. Ugh! I was also disappointed that there wasn't a neat little manual that would be a nice reference when needed. Instead, all that I got was a Quick Start manual, with just the basics. I've been to the website and it does offer several instructional videos, which are helpful. And, changing the bean bin can be a challenge if there are beans still in it. The consistent grinding, helpful bin light, and rock solid build far outweigh the nits. I'm experimenting more now with different brands of coffee, and really enjoy exploring the different flavors. This grinder has made that easy to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super consistent.
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023

This is a fantastic grinder, super uniform with its output. It's a little loud, you might not want to use it in the same room where people are sleeping, but it'd be fine in the next room. It's medium-pitched, not a high whine, so it's unlikely to bother anyone at least a room away.

It'd be nice if the hopper was bigger. It holds about three cups of coffee beans. That's enough, but five or six cups would be preferable for my use. (I don't change coffee type very much.)

When assembling, pay careful attention to the instructions. It seems very difficult at first, but goes together in a very specific way. If it's at all hard, you're probably not doing it right. The trickiest bit might be the little rubber gasket that goes in first; you don't actually need to stretch it. If you're careful and just wiggle it slightly, it should drop into place. It *looks like* you should stretch it over the catch posts, but if you do, you'll have a real hard time getting it to fit. Once you know how it works, it's dead easy to take apart for cleaning, and then put it back together. Everything is very cleverly designed.

I can't talk about longevity yet. It's been fine so far. If I have problems, I'll try to update this review later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Game changer!
Reviewed in Canada on February 21, 2023

Since I enjoy coffee tremendously, I decided to up my grinding game. After some research, I learned this is one of the best "home" burr grinders on the market. The company's heritage and commitment to service and support tipped the scales for me. Let me tell you this is not a cheap as in dollars unit, so the overall sturdiness, build quality and versatility impressed me. Ease of assembling and maintenance is a bonus. And it's not even that loud, relatively speaking. With 40 grind settings and programmable timer, it takes some trialing to dial in correct settings to your taste. And when you nail it, you are consistently rewarded with rich, flavourful coffee. That is, until you try a different blend. But it's also about the journey, right?

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing for brewing, not so good for Espresso

It’s an amazing grinder if you brew coffee. Obviously, it’s not something new I’m saying, the reputation of Baratza is well known.

But if you want to make great espresso, this isn’t a grinder for you. I’ve still rated it 5 starts because it’s not supposed to be an Espresso grinder in the first place. It can grind fine enough for espresso but you can not dial it in properly for espresso. But overall, it’s an amazing grinder for brewing with all other methods.

Um mit dem größten Kritikpunkt anzufangen: Die Baratza Virtuoso Plus ist nicht die leiseste Kaffeemühle, allerdings immerhin leiser als das (preiswerte) Teil welches zuvor in unserer Küche werkelte.
Außerdem erscheint sie, besonders verglichen mit der Baratza Encore, recht teuer.
Aber sie ist nach meiner Erfahrung ihr Geld wert.
Zum einen sind die Mahlergebnisse sehr gut (getestet für Filterkaffee und French Press - für Espresso sollte man eine spezielle Espressomühle wählen).
Zum anderen ist die Mühle extrem praktisch. Hopper alle paar Tage füllen und morgens auf Knopfdruck den Timer starten.
Kein ständiges Abmessen/Wiegen, keine unnützen Deckelchen, keine großen Probleme mit statischer Aufladung, kein verstreutes Kaffeemehl.
Einfach den frisch gemahlenen Kaffee umschütten und aufbrühen.

Anders als bei der vorherigen Mühle kocht jetzt jeder in der Familie gerne guten Kaffee.

Bella e apparentemente robusto. L’unica pecca è che per fare un caffè espresso bisogna impostarla al massimo del grado di macinatura.

We finally found a coffee grinder that grinds a lovely fine espresso grind as well as switches easily back to french press grind. It sits nicely under the cabinet and isn't too loud. Found out match but had to pay for it.
Another good thing, it doesn't leave grinds scattered all over the counter each time we use it. Worth the extra dollars!
