The Baratza Virtuoso+ is the new and improved version of the Virtuoso. With the same quality burrs and motor the Virtuoso+ has been upgrade to be even more user friendly. Rather than an on/off switch on the side, the Virtuoso+ has a digital display screen timer that allows you to set it to grind for a set amount of seconds each time. It gives even greater accuracy by allowing you to set a repeatable dose so you can save that perfect grind setting for future brewing. The new model also has a manual pulse function if you want to keep the timing in your own hands. It’s conveniently equipped with lights that shine down into the bin so you can see exactly how much is being ground. Grinding at about 2 grams per second, the 240-watt motor is designed to keep the machine running cool and static-free, even when grinding large quantities. No need to worry about the grinds statically sticking to the bin, or all over you or your countertop, they slide right out of the bin. The attractive cast zinc casing makes the Virtuoso+ heavier, stabilizing it, and much quieter with the metal to dampen the sound. Feel like a professional with this powerful, gorgeous piece of equipment that performs as beautifully as it looks. You can expect uniformity throughout all 40 grind sizes from very fine to very coarse. The Virtuoso+ is built to last and should serve your coffee-making needs for years to come.
