Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Baratza Virtuoso Coffee Grinder - Baratza 585
Customer Review: Excellent burr grinder!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased the Miss Silvia espresso machine by Rancilio and was naive regarding the grind-quality. I hoped that a simple $20 KRUPS grinder would be able to produce a consistent, fine grind for my espresso. In a pathetic attempt to save money, I assumed a $50 Cuisinart burr grinder would suffice, but the finest grind on that model was literally five steps above the finest grind on the Baratza.
As many other reviewers often indicate, the grind is just as important as the espresso machine. This machine works extremely well, despite the high price. The machine is significantly quieter than any other grinder I have owned and the weight of the device prevents the grinder from shifting around on your countertop. The timer is accurate, so you can grind exact quantities of beans without effort. The additional on/off button on the front makes dispensing into a portafilter simple and effective--granted you have the right amount of beans in the grinder when you do.
Having mistakenly purchased cheaper grinders, I can say the price is definitely a deterrent for non-espresso drinkers. In fact, unless you plan on making espresso, you might be able to deal with a less expensive grinder--particularly if you are a drip-coffee or French Press fan. In cases like that, I would recommend the Cuisinart DBM-8 Supreme Grind Automatic Burr Mill. From using one for a very short period of time, I can say it is very loud and not nearly the same quality as the Baratza Virtuoso, but for a quick and dirty burr grinder for you non-espresso drinkers, the Cuisinart is a competent performer.
