Their Virtuoso+ gives excellent cups but recently takes up to 90 seconds to grind 15g.

“I have a Baratza Virtuoso+ which gives me an excellent cup in the aeropress or V60. Lately however it's taking ages to grind my usual 15g of beans”

Their Virtuoso+ gets the job done.

“I'm using the Baratza Virtuoso+ as my grinder. It gets the job done for my setup!”
positive

After years single dosing on their Virtuoso+, it now has trouble feeding and won't grind the whole batch.

“Recently, it's started to have issues feeding and frequently won't grind the whole batch even after a few runs.”
negativedurability issues

Can't get tasty Moccamaster coffee from their Virtuoso+, even after a warranty replacement; it has a knife-edge range of usable settings.

“I feel this grinder has a knife edge of acceptable settings with steep cliffs on either side.”
negative

Their daily Baratza Virtuoso+ took a while to dial in but they enjoy the process.

“My daily driver is a Hario V60 Switch/Baratza Virtuoso+. Took awhile but I dialed it in and I enjoy the whole process.”
positive

Loved their Virtuoso+ for medium to dark roasts across V60, French press and siphon; easy to clean with only a little retention.

“I've owned the BV+. I loved my "Malkhoning" Baratza, great for my flavor profiles”
positiveeasy to use

Bought a Virtuoso+ on Amazon; Baratza support offered to ship a part right away when they thought one was missing, and it's a great product too.

“Bought a Virtuoso+ on Amazon and thought I was missing a part.”
positive

Uses a Virtuoso+ at work; coworkers say it sounds like sharpening pencils.

“I have a Virtuoso+ and I work in IT. I share my coffee station with the server room so it's pretty loud. My coworkers say it sounds like I'm sharpening pencils lol.”

Replaced a six-year-old Encore with a Virtuoso+ and struggled for months with bland drip coffee until they ground much finer than Baratza's suggested setting.

“From day one with the Virtuoso, however, I struggled to replicate that flavor. The brews repeatedly came out stale and bland”
