BARATZA VIRTUOSO CONICAL BURR COFFEE GRINDER. FREE 6oz Bag of our Finest Latin American Coffee! Manufactured in Europe, the Virtuosos 40 mm conical burrs grind coffee at 1.5 to 2.4 g/sec. Depending on the setting. But what really sets the Virtuoso burrs apart is that these burrs can do a very uniform grind, with a distinct lack of fines across its grinding range. So the Virtuoso burrs are exceptional for espresso, drip, manual brewing methods and Press Pot. These conical burrs are durable and will remain sharp for many years. The burrs have a precision mounting system to ensure a stable platform for accurate grinding. In 2012, Baratza introduced the second generation Gearbox (GB 2.0). With GB 2.0, Baratza has significantly increased the strength and durability of the drive transmission. In addition to a new drive shaft, motor mounting plate and bushings, this change includes a new drive gear made of 15% glass filled thermo plastic which is quieter than the prior metal gear, wears better and is more shock resistant. During the rigorous testing process, stainless steel screws were thrown into the burrs, and in every case the motor/gear/burrs stopped immediately, the (automatically-resettable) thermal cutout was triggered, and the gears were fine. Turn the hopper and with 40 settings you can quickly adjust from fine for espresso to coarse for French Press. The grind range is from 200 to 1200 microns. GRINDS LEFT IN GRINDER. To maximize freshness, the Virtuoso minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder. The Virtuoso is a great all around grinder, from manual brewing to espresso. 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. An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. If necessary, the grinders can be user calibrated. With unique speed control, the Virtuoso uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 500 RPM. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs. The Virtuoso has a 60-second timer with segmented graphics, for easily repeatable grind times. Burrs are easily removable with no tools, making cleaning very easy. 40 mm conical burrs. 120 V AC 180 Watts 50/60 Hz. No Load Burr Speed. Check out our feedback!
