## Description

desertcart.com: Baratza Virtuoso+ Coffee Grinder ZCG587BLK, Black : Home & Kitchen

Review: Outstanding Upgrade - A Professional-Quality Grinder for Home Use - After 18 years with my trusty Solis Maestro (which I believe was a predecessor to Baratza), I decided it was time for an upgrade and passed my old grinder (still going strong) down to my daughter to replace her brand new but constantly-jamming OXO. I'm absolutely thrilled with the Baratza Virtuoso Plus - it has exceeded all my expectations. Grind Consistency is Exceptional I was genuinely surprised by how consistent the grind quality is. Coming from someone who owned a professional Mahlkonig grinder at my coffee shop, I can confidently say the Virtuoso Plus produces results that are almost on par with high-end commercial equipment (the ubiquitous boxy BUNN grinders you see in grocery stores don't make that cut, I'm afraid). The 40mm M2 Etzinger burr set delivers remarkably uniform particles across the entire grind spectrum, from coarse French press to fine pour-over settings. Speed and Efficiency This grinder is both quiet and impressively fast - it produces grounds at nearly twice the speed of my old Solis. At 2g/second grinding speed, it makes my morning routine much more efficient without waking the whole house. The minimal coffee retention (only about 1.5-2g gets trapped in the grinding chamber) means virtually no waste between different coffees. Thoughtful Design Features The lighted grounds bin is a nice touch that makes it easy to see your grind progress, especially in early morning light. While I don't personally use the digital timer (I prefer weighing by scale), it's a convenient feature for consistent dosing that can be set in one-second increments up to 60 seconds. The front-mounted dial makes adjustments simple and intuitive. Handles Dark Roasts Like a Champ One of my concerns was how it would handle oily dark roasts, but this grinder takes them in stride. The oils don't cause any jamming or clogging issues - a stark contrast to some cheaper grinders that struggle with this. Why I Chose the Virtuoso Plus Over Entry-Level Options While I heard some concerning reports about Baratza's entry-level models breaking within the first year from a couple of friends, the Virtuoso Plus represents their more robust mid-range option. After researching extensively on coffee-focused websites like Whole Latte Love (not just desertcart reviews), this model consistently received praise for its durability and performance. The build quality feels substantial and professional-grade. It is extremely heavy, and grinds like a (very quiet) beast. Perfect for Serious Coffee Enthusiasts Whether you're doing pour-over, French press, or even light espresso work, this grinder delivers the consistency you need. It's built for heavy use - perfect for families or small offices where the grinder sees daily action. The grind range from 200 to 1200 microns covers virtually every brewing method you could want. Final Verdict This is hands-down a 5-star purchase. For the price point, you're getting professional-level grind consistency, thoughtful engineering, and the reliability that Baratza is known for in their higher-tier products. If you're serious about your coffee and want a grinder that will serve you faithfully for years (like my old Solis did), the Virtuoso Plus is an excellent investment. Highly recommended! Additional thoughts As a sidenote, I have nothing against OXO as a brand - in fact, I have very positive experiences with their brewing equipment, both electric and pourover. It is only their grinder that has been troublesome.
Review: Excellent for drip, moka and french press grinds. - This is our 3rd Baratza Virtuoso... the second one was another Virtouso +, like the one we just got. They have one Achiles Heel though... the burr grinder holder is plastic and it has a lifetime of about 10 years. The rubber gasket goes for five, but you can get the parts. This time around I took too long to order the grinder holder so it was acting up... I figured that after 10 years it was time for a new one anyhow. It grinds for drip, moka and french press fine, but for espresso I recommend a much more expensive unit... the espresso grind is always very touchy and needs fine adjustments for stuff like coffee roast, oils, weather, etc... which this grinder is not accurate enough... But for the other methods, it does an outstanding job, is not very noisy and has a powerful motor and a consistent grind. By the way there are options. We have the hopper that has an on/off feature. You can close the hopper, remove it and use another one if you are grinding different kinds of beans.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this grind for drip and pour over coffee as well as espresso?**
A: Barata makes two versions of grinders: this one has a stainless steel conical burr, which is optimized for fine through coarse grinds, but perhaps not as fine as you would like for espresso.  The ceramic flat burr is optimized for espresso, and may not adjust as well as you would like for coarser grinds like French press.  I believe either can be used for a medium grind.  It may be possible to get both for the same grinder, but I’m not sure about that.

**Q: Virtuoso+ and Sette 30 are the same price. Anyone compared the two?**
A: Wiley's correct- the 30 is designed for espresso. The coarsest grind on it is barely useable for drip, not for Chemex, or pour over, or french press. The Virtuoso+ does the full range of coffee prep.

**Q: Does this have the same burr as the encore?**
A: No.  The virtuoso has upgraded burrs.

**Q: I weigh my coffee beans and grind all of it. I can’t have any coffee retained in the grinder. How is the Virtuoso in this respect?**
A: This is my first burr grinder so I can't compare. I can say it is not zero retention.  Our coffee is always weighed to each of our individual liking with no complaint. Might I suggest going to Youtube and scanning reviews on zero retention grinders. I remember seeing one by James (somebody), I can't remember name but he reviews coffee equipment.  The grinder may have been Niche Zero. If so, prepare to shell out  about 600 bucks. We love our Virtuoso +.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Second Virtuoso+, Great Grinder
*by K***N on February 11, 2026*

This replaced a Virtuoso+ I bought in 2019. That one gave me years of great service - 50 to 10 cups a day pretty much every day. I cleaned it monthly but, over time, the grinding became a little inconsistent. You can easily find replacement parts on the Baratza or other parts sites. I only had to replace the front knob but you can get just about any part needed. The new Virtuoso+ restores the perfect grinding I was used to. It also brings back the static issues I had in the beginning. I'll have to live with that. It grinds quickly! I didn't realize how much the old one had slowed down. The grind, once set at the right fineness, looks great to me. Consistent size that makes a great cup of coffee. The unit is heavy duty and well built. The bean hopper holds enough beans for a day or two of my kind of use. The grounds bin on the old unit was easy to pull out/push in but the new one feels a little stiff. I'm certain it will wear in nicely. The timer is easy to set and pretty consistently grinds the same amount (weight) of grounds each time. The main parts, including the burr, are easily accessible and can be removed for cleaning. Remember how the hopper gasket fits in. It only goes one way. That's it. I could have replaced the burr and probably brought the old unit back to it's original performance but wanted a new one anyway. It was nice to have the option.
