Overview
The Baratza Vario+ is a major refresh of the classic Vario, updated with steel flat burrs and a single-dose-friendly hopper. The improved burr set delivers better particle uniformity than the original ceramic burrs, and the reduced retention makes single-dosing practical. The Vario+ also features an integrated scale and grind-by-weight capability inherited from the Sette 270Wi. This combination of flat burr grinding with integrated weighing makes the Vario+ unique in its price range. Baratza excellent customer service and 10-year parts guarantee add long-term value. A compelling all-around home grinder for those who want flat burr quality with the convenience of automated dosing.
The Baratza Vario+ features a 54mm flat burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 1350 RPM, offering fast grinding for high-volume use. Grind retention is approximately 0.5g, which is impressively low and suitable for single-dose workflows.
At $549, the Baratza Vario+ is aimed at serious home baristas who understand the importance of grind quality. Key workflow features include single-dose design (no hopper needed). The flat burr design produces a more uniform particle distribution, prized for clarity and sweetness in the cup.
The Baratza Vario+ is weighing 3.8 kg, manufactured in USA, powered by a 110W motor. Its footprint measures 130 x 180 x 350 mm (W×D×H).
