The Encore's thoughtful older sibling.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Virtuoso+ is where Baratza takes the Encore playbook and tightens every line. Same 550 RPM philosophy, same conical burr family, same repair ethos. But the burrs are M2, the timer is digital and repeatable to a tenth of a second, and the motor has more torque to move through dense beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a grinder that settles into a morning routine the way a well-used hand tool does. Set your time, press the button, walk away. The dose comes out consistent, day after day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M2 burr itself is worth a paragraph. Manufactured in Liechtenstein, designed for tighter particle distribution than basic conical geometry. You taste the difference most clearly in pour-over, where the reduction in fines cleans up the cup noticeably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Encore's thoughtful older sibling, built for filter brewers who taste carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LCD timer runs from 0 to 60 seconds in tenth-of-a-second increments. Program your dose once, and every morning after that is a single button press. A backlit grounds bin lights up as you grind, which sounds like a frill until you are working at 5 a.m. and it is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the rest of the Baratza line, every wear part is replaceable. The motor, the burrs, the adjustment mechanism, the switch, the gears. This is a grinder you buy once and keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes the Virtuoso+ different.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40mm M2 conical burrs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Manufactured in Liechtenstein. The M2 burr is designed for tighter particle distribution and fewer fines than basic conical geometry. Noticeable cup clarity improvement on pour-over and drip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e550 RPM motor, 180W at 120V\u003c\/strong\u003e — More torque than the Encore classic, same slow-burr philosophy. Grinds 1.5 to 2.4 grams per second depending on setting. DC motor with gear reduction for cool, quiet operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40 stepped grind settings\u003c\/strong\u003e — From 250 to 1200 microns.

Small detail, but it helps on a dim counter when you are gauging dose visually.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned for repair\u003c\/strong\u003e — Like the rest of the Baratza line, every wear part is replaceable. Repair videos and a parts catalog live on Baratza's site. This is a grinder you maintain, not replace.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e — 5 inches wide, 6 inches deep, 14 inches tall. Fits under most cabinets. 8 lb weight keeps it planted on the counter during grinding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurr compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — The M2 burr set is shared with the Encore ESP family, which means muscle memory and taste language carry up and down the line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works: How the Virtuoso+ works.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou set your grind by turning the hopper. A ring of numbered stops, 1 through 40, tells you where you are. Finer at 1, coarser at 40. Tighter tolerances than the Encore classic because of the M2 burr geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet your dose time on the digital timer. The motor runs for exactly that time, plus or minus a tenth of a second. For a morning V60 dialed to 18 grams in, you find the time once and use it forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress the button. Backlit bin lights up. The motor spins burrs at 550 RPM, and the dose drops into the container or directly into your brewer via the included funnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for: Who the Virtuoso+ is for.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter brewer who has outgrown the Encore's simplicity and wants repeatable, time-based dosing. The subscriber who brews one coffee every morning and wants that morning to get faster, not more complicated. The pour-over devotee who tastes fines in the cup and wants them reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you pull espresso, the ESP Pro or a dedicated espresso grinder will serve you better. The Virtuoso+ is tuned for the filter range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEvery spec Baratza publishes.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBurrs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40mm M2 conical steel, manufactured in Liechtenstein\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMotor speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e550 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrind settings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 stepped\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrind range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250 to 1200 microns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrind speed\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5 to 2.4 grams per second\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eBean hopper capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e227 g (8 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrounds bin capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e142 g (5 oz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.6 kg (8 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDimensions (W x D x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 x 6 x 14 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 to 120V AC, 50\/60 Hz, 180W, 0.8 A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTimer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDigital, 0 to 60 seconds, 0.1-second resolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDisplay\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLCD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWarranty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 year manufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat ships with your Virtuoso+.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything set up for time-based filter grinding, out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaratza Virtuoso+ grinder \u003cem\u003e(Black or white)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBean hopper with lid \u003cem\u003e(227 g capacity)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrounds bin \u003cem\u003e(Backlit, 142 g capacity)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaning brush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperations manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty: The Baratza guarantee.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBaratza covers the Virtuoso+ with a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
