The Vario has a small footprint with impressive features including 230 distinct and repeatable grind settings from fine grind for espresso to course grind for press pot. One touch dosing is made easy using three user programmable buttons. Small On Size, Big On Performance: The Vario has the performance of a large grinder without the need for all the counter space. Measuring only 5 wide and 7 deep, the Vario will fit on almost any counter. At only 14.5 tall, it also fits under all overhead cupboards. All functions are controlled from the front, so walls or equipment directly beside it are not a problem. Any Way You Like It: The broad range of grind (250 mm to 1200mm) and the narrow particle distribution (bi-modal in espresso setting) are hallmarks of the professionalism of the Vario. Fine tuning with ease – Macro and Micro adjustments are instantly and repeatedly achievable with the intuitive Vario adjustment system. The Vario has 230 distinct settings of grind to satisfy even the most demanding coffee connoisseur. One Touch Is All It Takes: Three user programmable buttons allow for grind time setting within 0.1 second (about 0.2 gram). Simply press the START button, and the Vario automatically delivers precise dosing. The Vario grinds 1.5 grams/second at Espresso and 2.5 grams/second at Press. The speed of grind is truly Professional. Harder Than Steel: Manufactured in Germany by Mahlkönig, the Varios 54mm Professional ceramic flat burrs produce accurate grinding, high throughout and remain sharp for up to twice the lifetime of the highest quality steel burrs. A Cool Drive System: The Vario employs a high torque DC motor and an ultra-quiet belt-drive transmission. The German timing belt provides important thermal isolation of motor and burrs, ensuring cooler grinding. The Varios 54 mm professional ceramic flat burrs produce accurate grinding, high throughput and remain sharp for twice as long as the highest quality steel burrs. The Vario grinds 1.6 grams/second at Espresso and 2.2 grams/second at Press. The broad range of grind (230 microns to 1150 microns) and the narrow particle distribution (lack of fines) are the hallmarks of the superiority of the Vario burrs. The front mounted control panel with LED display is easy and intuitive. Three programmable buttons allow for grind time setting within 0.1 second (about 0.2 gram). Simply press the START button and the Vario automatically delivers precise dosing. The Vario offers macro and micro adjust for fine tuning with ease. The macro adjust moves from espresso to press pot in 10 distinct and repeatable settings. A secondary micro adjust arm further divides each of the 10 macro steps into 20 distinct settings. These steps enable you to dial in the exact grind for the perfect shot. GRINDS LEFT IN GRINDER. To maximize freshness, the Vario minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder. The Vario is exceptional for espresso and manual pour brewing methods. A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch. The Vario is calibrated at the factory to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary, the Vario burrs can be easily calibrated using the special calibration tool that comes with the grinder. The Vario now comes standard with the Metal PortaHolder. When we launched the Forté-AP with the Metal PortaHolder we got a lot of interest to change out the Vario plastic PortaHolder with the heavy-duty metal PortaHolder. The Vario body needed some minor changes for a perfect, non-slip fit of the Metal PortaHolder. The regular 8 oz. Grounds bin is also included. Burrs are easily removable with no tools, making cleaning very easy. The 54mm ceramic burr set is manufactured in Germany by Mahlkönig and provides accurate, fast grinding performance, remaining sharp for up to twice the lifetime of the finest steel burrs. The high torque DC motor and belt drive transmission insure smooth operation with minimal heat generation. All controls are mounted on the front of the Vario for easy accessibility. It also includes both a ground coffee collection bin and Baratza’s exclusive PortaHolder for hands free grinding into an espresso machine portafilter. This is the new upgraded model #886.
