What customers say about "Key Specs"

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.
My coffee grounds come our consistently ground and beautifully light and fluffy.
Grinding is very quick. I find the noise to be reasonable, and much less obnoxious than a regular blade grinder.
It runs rather quiet, and cleans up easy. This is a great grinder!

Baratza Vario Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder

Excellent coffee grinder for busy kitchen where different family members make espresso and filter coffee several times a day.
Solid construction. Looks great on the countertop.
This is an excellent grinder and a good upgrade from my Rocky Rancillio grinder.
Takes a bit of time to break in before clumps go away and consistency kicks in.
It's a little bit loud, a consideration when grinding really early in the morning.

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.
Easy to use and clean. It grinds consistently. Very good value for money.
