Baratza G385 Maestro PLUS Conical Burr Coffee Grinder - Black

Photo of Baratza Maestro PLUS Coffee Grinders The Baratza Maestro PLUS is based on the original and very popular Baratza Maestro coffee grinder. The Maestro Plus includes all the winning features of the original Maestro grinder plus some extras that increase its versatility and ease of use. These improvements contribute to more than a doubling of the weight over the Maestro and give the Maestro Plus a rock-solid feel and increased stability.

The range of grind is 30% greater than the original Maestro. This increase is on the coarsest settings making it easier to get the perfect grind for drip and French press brewers. The number of grind settings has been increased by over 100% to 40 levels, resulting in a huge range of grinds. The key advantage of the increased settings is precision fine-tuning of your espresso grind settings.

The Maestro Plus includes many features that meet the needs of the serious home barista: motor isolation for a smooth, quiet operation; conical burrs that give a fine grind critical for perfect espresso extraction; over 50% greater grind adjustment compared to other grinders in its class, ranging from a fine Turkish grind to a nice even French coffee press grind; and a special gear reduction for slow rotation, ensuring the retention of the aroma and flavor of the freshly ground beans. The grinder also comes equipped with a powerful 160-watt electric motor.

At the center of the grinder is the hardened cone shaped grinding wheel referred to as a conical burr. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds, from very fine to very coarse, and they are particularly tough and long lasting. Thanks to the slow speed at which the conical burr turns, the noise level is considerably less than conventional flat burr grinders and they are less messy.
