Don’t get the Baratza. Please don’t. I started my pour over journey with Baratza Virtuoso+, which is a step up from the Encore. I saw all these amazing reviews and thought I had gotten an incredible grinder. But it is trash for light roast pour over. I haven’t used this so take my advice with a grai

For brewed coffee you won't do better than the Baratza Virtuoso+. It's cheaper and superior than most brew grinders. Actually, you could upgrade the Encore to the M2 burrs and turn it into an almost-virtuoso.

I was in the same shoes as you several years ago. I have the moccamaster, and I bought a Baratza Virtuoso+ - it's been great for darker-roast type coffees, which was what I focused on back then. Baratza customer care is terrific. I then got into espresso, and bought the Encore ESP with single-dose h

I got a Delonghi Dedica Maestro Plus on sale on Amazon for $300. It was between this and the Bambino Plus because my wife wanted the auto steamer. My grinder is a Baratza Virtuoso+. I know it's not an espresso grinder but I also make a lot of cold brew at home and could only afford one grinder after

This post is a bit old. Seems like this machine will do a pre infusion no matter what, but you can extend the pre infusion by 1 or 2 seconds. After I made this post I wound up turning off the extended pre infusion because it was too much for the 14 gram basket that was included with the machine. I'v

I've had a Baratza Virtuoso+ for 6 years for pourover/Aeropress, and it has been great. I saw the ESP Pro and figured that was the logical replacement, but I've seen so many negative comments about the ESP Pro here from owners who find it has a lot of issues. I know this is just reddit, but still, i

Hab für den Zweck eine baratza virtuoso+ und bin sehr zufrieden. Trinken Moka, french press und Aeropress. Ich schreibe bei jeder Bohne den mahlgrad für dir jeweilige Methode auf und kann mich nicht beschweren. Weiß nicht was sie neu kostet, aber ich habe sie refurbed beim Servicecenter Windhorn für

I have the Ode 2 and a Baratza Virtuoso+. If I only drank medium and light roast, I would have the Ode 2 on the counter. Because we also like dark roast and I never met a dark roast the Ode 2 did not clog on while grinding, my Ode 2 is in the basement and the Virtuoso+ is on the counter. Eventually

Recommend these links for similar prices: https://amzn.in/d/c3YXgGC https://amzn.in/d/bUmJUQm The Baratza Virtuoso+ has more smart features, auto feed, versatile with dosing but 40 mm burrs and plastic body. The Hi-Brew has 48mm better blades, metal body, way better for espressos, dual speeds (speci

I have the Virtuoso+, which is pretty much the predecessor to the ESP Pro, and it makes great coffee with the Moccamaster, but also with other brewing methods like pourover, Moka pot, and french press. The improvements they've made in the ESP Pro are all worthwhile, and Baratza has a reputation for
