Overview
The Baratza Virtuoso+ upgrades the Encore with a digital timer display and slightly improved 40mm conical burrs for better consistency. The timer allows precise, repeatable dosing, and the improved burrs produce a more uniform grind across all settings. The Virtuoso+ is the quintessential all-purpose home coffee grinder — equally comfortable grinding for pour-over, French press, AeroPress, and passable espresso. While dedicated espresso grinders outperform it for shot-pulling, the Virtuoso+ versatility makes it ideal for multi-method households. Baratza legendary customer service and readily available replacement parts ensure this grinder will serve for many years.
The Baratza Virtuoso+ features a 40mm conical burr set, crafted from steel. The burrs spin at 550 RPM, balancing grinding speed with heat management. Grind retention is approximately 1.5g, typical for a hopper-fed workflow.
At $269, the Baratza Virtuoso+ is aimed at home baristas seeking a solid grinder without a premium price tag. With a 230g hopper, it's designed for a traditional hopper-fed workflow. The conical burr design is known for producing a slightly bimodal grind distribution, which many enjoy for its body and complexity in espresso.
The Baratza Virtuoso+ is weighing 3.6 kg, manufactured in USA, powered by a 110W motor. Its footprint measures 120 x 170 x 350 mm (W×D×H).
