About the Product

This professional-grade grinder fits anywhere, from your kitchen to your office to your café. While sporting a small footprint, the Vario features an impressive range of capabilities, boasting 230 distinct and repeatable grind settings from fine grind for espresso to course grind for press pot.

Weight-based grinding for extreme accuracy makes it easier to make that perfect cup of coffee. Baratza’s groundbreaking Vario-W is a fully integrated real-time weight-based grinder. It has all the features of the Vario including small footprint, macro/micro adjustment, ceramic burrs, and a broad range of grind, but uses a weight-based dosing approach rather than a time-based approach.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

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.

Baratza Vario-W Flat Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder

It is smaller than I thought it would be, which is great because my space is limited.
It is pretty quiet too -- more than most others that I've used.
The scale is very accurate. I highly recommend it if you have the money.
Great grinder for everything but extremely coarse.
Grinder works great. Grinds coffee perfectly every time and is much quieter than our old Kitchen Aide grinder.
