About the Product
Markings on the inside of the stainless steel bowl indicate suitable bean levels for 4, 8, 10 or 12 cups of brewed coffee, and the clear top cover slides on for one-touch operation.
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"
KitchenAid BCG111OB Blade Coffee Grinder, Onyx Black
- It creates a nice uniform grinds and I'm very happy with it.
- Perfect grind, no problem, it is was easy to clean.
- Grind bits all over. This is very messy grinder, I tried to get used to it, but after nearly 1 year, I still dislike this very much.
- Very disappointing! Sure it is nice to look at but its grinding capability is very poor.
- It doesn't grind my coffee finely at all. There are always big chunks left.
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.

What customers say about "Features"
KitchenAid BCG111OB Blade Coffee Grinder, Onyx Black
- Easy to use and clean. The detachable cannister makes it easy to dump into a container versus others I've had to scoop it out of, which always makes a mess.
- The grinder looks nice and appears very sturdy, but the beans don't stay in the metal pot.
- Great looking coffee grinder with a detachable grinder cup.
- The noise level is slightly less than the old traditional cylinder model.
- The grinder delivers coarse grounds perfect for a drip coffee maker. If you want espresso grounds, look elsewhere.
Baratza Vario-W Flat Ceramic Burr Coffee Grinder
- The micro-adjustments make it easy to get the perfect grind setting for every brewing method.
- Easy to use, infinite dose-weight adjustments, easy to remove the top burr to clean inside periodically.
- The hopper is easy to clean and refill.
- Very powerful coffee grinder with easy to use adjustments and features.
- It is reasonably quiet, produces a uniform grind, and the ground coffee empties easily out of the container.
