Baratza provides our users with a range of versatile grinders for all brew types, price points, and to suit many locations and situations.
The Baratza grinders operate in two basic burr styles – conical and flat. The conical burrs are steel which we use in the Encore, Virtuoso and Preciso. The flat burrs are available in both ceramic or steel and are used in the Vario and Forté grinders. We have been doing a lot of testing to find the sweet spot or remarkably tasty flavors in coffee with our grinders. Getting started (brewing coffee) is half the battle, so hopefully the settings in the table below will be of assistance.
