Virtuoso+™

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Virtuoso+
conical burr coffee grinder. With the
Virtuoso+, it's now easier than ever to
make professional quality coffee.
Below are detailed descriptions of the features that make the Virtuoso+
stand out from other grinders in its class.
Precision Conical Burrs
Manufactured in Europe, the 40 mm conical burrs of the
Virtuoso+ grind coffee at speeds up to 2.4 g/sec. What really
sets the Virtuoso+ burrs apart is a particle distribution that is
relatively uniform, notably at coarse settings. The Virtuoso+
burrs are exceptional multi-purpose burrs for espresso,
manual brewing methods, automatic brewers and French
press. These high-carbon steel conical burrs are durable and
will remain sharp for many years. The burrs have a precision
mounting system to ensure a stable platform for accurate
grinding.
Grind Adjustment
The Virtuoso+ has 40 distinct settings to enable grinding
from espresso to French press with the simple turn
of the hopper.

VIRTUOSO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL
Efficient Motor
The Virtuoso+ houses a powerful DC motor that produces
more than four times the output, with twice the efficiency,
of a standard AC motor found in most grinders in this class.
The motor spins at less than one-third the speed, making it
much quieter and lower in pitch. Extremely well-made, the
motor is built to handle long duty cycles. In addition,
it possesses a thermal safety device that protects the
motor from overheating and automatically resets once
the motor cools.

    VIRTUOSO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL ® CARE & CLEANING REMOVING THE BEAN HOPPER Remove all beans from the hopper then press the front mounted dial to run any remaining beans through the grinder. Remove the plug from the power outlet. Remove the hopper by rotating it counterclockwise until it stops, and then lift the bean hopper off of the grinder.

    Clearing a clog requires more effort than a normal cleaning, as coffee becomes packed in a hard-to-access passageway between the burr and grounds bin. Go to the Troubleshooting section on baratza.com/troubleshooting for help unclogging your grinder. AUTOMATIC CLEANING A thorough, fast, and easy cleaning can be accomplished using biodegradable grinder cleaning tablets.
