The Virtuoso has many of the winning features of the Maestro Plus along with commercial grade components, higher performance and sleeker style. With the Virtuoso, it’s now easier than ever to make professional quality coffee, whether at the home, the office or your café.

In additional to all the great features of the Maestro Plus, the Virtuoso includes commercial grade conical burrs, a 480 watt DC motor, a new shape and a beautiful brushed-satin metal top.


Product Features

  • Commercial Grade Conical Burrs - Manufactured in Italy, the Virtuoso’s 44mm grinding burrs are the same material and durability as the industry’s highest-quality line of commercial conical burr coffee grinders. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to course, as well as being durable and will remain sharp for many years. The burrs have a precision mounting system to ensure a stable platform for accurate grinding.
  • Grind Coffee For Any Brewing Method - There are many coffee grinders on the market. However, few have the ability to grind fine enough for a professional espresso machine and course enough for a press pot. The Virtuoso has 40 steps of adjustment. Choose the perfect setting by turning the bean hopper to the desired position.
  • Innovative calibration - Commercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that the grinder will grind fine enough for espresso and has the range to grind course enough for press pot. This feature is available in the Virtuoso™. The grinders are calibrated when they are manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary the grinders can be user calibrated.
  • Unique Speed Control - The Virtuoso uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 450 RPM. The electronic speed controller is adjustable from 405 to 495 RPM in the event that specific user conditions require modification of the speed. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
  • Timers switch and Pulse button - The Virtuoso has a sixty second timer, with segmented graphics, for easily repeatable grind times. It also has a front mounted pulse button that manually controls the on/off function. This is nice if you wish to grind a small amount of coffee for espresso.
  • Pulse button makes Espresso Easy - If you have an espresso machine, you will enjoy the convenience of being able to grind directly into the filter basket for your machine. After you remove the coffee grounds bin, you can insert your filter basket (portafilter) directly under the dispensing chute to collect the coffee as it is being dispensed. You can push the pulse button with your thumb while holding the filter basket for true one hand operation.
  • Easy to Clean - To clean the Virtuoso, just remove the coffee been hopper to expose the grinding chamber. At this point the outer ring burr simply lifts out. The entire grinding chamber can then be thoroughly cleaned in a few minutes.

"This is the best coffee grinder I have ever found. I have always ground my own beans, and other grinders heat them and with the constant use they get from me, they don't last long. Although this one is much more expensive than others I have bought, the heft and quality of the design insures that it …"  Read Full Review »

"Remember when you took the step up from a coffee mill to a grinder? This is a step up from a run-of-the mill grinder to one that gives you a higher quality grind, one that brews a better more aromatic cup of espresso or other type of coffee. And, because it grinds slower at lower temperature there …"  Read Full Review »

"Hopper has an odd fit; it can be difficult to slide back into place. It is used daily for a small office. It is noisy, but that is to be expected. It is convenient to turn on the grinder and walk away; no need to hold down the button. It has only been used for a few months, so I can not report on i …"  Read Full Review »

"This grinder will grind extremely fine or extremely course. Settings are very simple. The consistency of the grind is very desireable. Grinder is not messy, except for what mess I make. It is a great machine. I gave it a four star rating because I couldn't give it a four and a half. "
