BARATZA Virtuoso Coffee Grinder 1

INITIAL SETUP

For the full manual, visit baratza.com/documentation

Remove the contents from the packaging and hand-wash the hopper lid (1), bean hopper (2), and grounds bin (9) in warm, soapy water. Let air dry. Do not wash the ring burr (5) in water or it will rust.
To install the hopper, align the silver grind setting indicator (3) with the triangle near grind setting 40 (6). Press the hopper down and twist clockwise into place. The grinder will not start without the hopper installed.*

If there is difficulty in installing the hopper: Ensure that the ring burr (5) is fully seated in place. The grind adjustment ring (12) must be rotated fully counterclockwise using the grind adjustment tabs (13) for the hopper to be installed.

When grinding into the grounds bin, coffee tends to mound up. To prevent clogging, empty the grounds before they reach the max fill line.

CHOOSING A GRIND SETTING

Rotate the hopper to adjust to the desired grind setting. When adjusting the grind setting, the grinder must be running or completely empty of beans to prevent damage to the grinder. Below are suggested starting points for what grind settings to use for common brew methods. Coarser or finer grinding may be needed depending on recipe requirements and taste preference. Additional information can be found at baratza.com/grinding-tips

Finer Grind = lower numbers
Coarser Grind = higher numbers

GRINDING OPERATION

The Virtuoso+ will grind for a predetermined length of time, shown on the display (7) in seconds. To adjust the timer and operate the grinder:

Rotate the dial (8) on the display clockwise to increase the grind time in 1.0 second increments, or rotate counterclockwise to decrease the grind time in 0.1 second increments.
The maximum grind time is 40.0 seconds, and the minimum is 0.1 seconds. The timer will loop to 40.0 if adjusted below 0.1, and will loop to 1.0 if adjusted above 40.0.
Press the dial to start grinding. The grinder will automatically stop at 0.0 seconds, or the dial can be pressed again to pause grinding.
To grind continuously without the timer, press and hold the dial for 3 seconds to enter pulse mode. “P” will be shown on the display. The grinder will now grind for as long as the dial is held down, and the timer will count up in seconds as the grinder is in operation. The maximum grind time is 40.0 seconds in this mode. Rotate the dial more than two clicks to exit pulse mode.
