4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent grinder, but five stars aren't enough for Baratza., March 20, 2012

I moved from a city whose name is synonymous with coffee to a barren wasteland (coffee-wise), and decided to take matters into my own hands. The plan: get serious about all my paraphernalia, master drip/pourover/French press extraction, and eventually work my way to espresso. To support this obsession, I needed a good burr grinder that could perform admirably from fine espresso all the way up to coarse French press grounds. In the interest of full disclosure, I was previously using a blade grinder and this is therefore the first burr grinder I've owned.

I selected a highly-rated burr grinder based on Amazon reviews only to realize that Amazon's reviewers may not be sufficiently obsessive, but more practical and more interested in features than grind consistency. After reading reviews on coffee blogs and review sites, and asking around with trusted friends, I ended up choosing the Baratza Virtuoso Preciso because of its consistency, focus on quality rather than features, and...

5.0 out of 5 stars Best grinder for pour-over, French press, or CafeSolo, July 17, 2011
This review is from: Baratza Preciso Coffee Grinder 685
The expert reviewers say this may be the best grinder for other than espresso anywhere near its price-point. I researched the heck out of grinders under $400 and chose this one. I am very pleased -- it has lived up to the hype. I prepare coffee using a medium-coarse (not exactly road gravel but significantly finer than French press) grind and an Eva Solo CafeSolo brewer. This grinder was a significant step up from my KitchenAid Pro Line and helped me extract a much better result (more flavor and less bitterness) than my previous efforts. The grinder appears to have a very high build quality.

Caveat #1: I don't make espresso at home, so if you are considering this grinder for espresso, by all means look at other reviews. I can't help you except to repeat what the expert reviewers say (see caveat #2).

Caveat #2: If you haven't read the expert reviews from Coffee Geek, Home Barista, Coava, Prima, Intelligentsia, etc., you really should. You'll get a detailed... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Consistent, lots of range, low fines, and very little static, April 13, 2012

This review is from: Baratza Preciso Coffee Grinder 685
I have been looking for a grinder for a while. I spent months hoping to find a deal on a Mazzer Mini, or something else of that quality, hoped to find a deal. I have used a few commercial grade grinders, either borrowing or at friend's houses. I finally became fed up with the search for a deal, and decided to do some new research. After reading a number of reviews I decided to try this grinder. By the way, check out the CoffeeGeek.com "First Impressions Review" - there's great info there.

After using the grinder heavily for a month now, here's my thoughts:

1) This Grinder is very consistent. The particle size is consistent for each setting. I used to work in the screen printing industry, so I have a microscope at home, and I reviewed the ground coffee at a number of different settings. The results are remarkable. As good as my friend's commercial grinder and another Mazzer. If you want to grind for French Press, you will get a consistent large ground size. The... Read more
