Baratza Preciso Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
  • The grind is very consistent but not perfect; some fines still creep in.
  • This is an excellent purchase and I feel I got value with a precision product.

What customers say about "Features"
Baratza Preciso Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
  • The grinder is solid, but no bells and whistles. It does have a knob that acts as a manual timer so you don't have to hold down the button.
  • The anti cling plastic used in the hopper really works and the ease of loading and taking the hopper in and out add up to make this a fine machine.
  • This machine feels and sounds more durable.
  • Grinds good enough for my Rancilio Silva. The micro adjustment works well at adjusting the grind for perfectly timed shots.
  • Awesome grinder. Very consistent grinds with fine adjustment.
Baratza Vario Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder
  • It has programmable timing pre-sets which I imagine could be helpful.
  • Excellent, solid built-quality. Not messy at all as compared to other grinders.
  • It seems very reliable and consistent, easy to use, small, nice metal porta-filter holder.
  • This is a fantastic grinder. This grinder is fast, smooth and quiet. The timer function is convenient for dosing. The grind settings are easy to adjust and repeatable.
