FEATURES
BURRS
Manufactured in Europe, the Virtuoso+’s 40 mm conical burrs grind coffee at
1.5 to 2.4 g/sec. depending on the setting. But what really sets the Virtuoso+
burrs apart is that these burrs can do a very uniform grind, with a distinct
lack of
fines across its grinding range. So the Virtuoso+ burrs are exceptional for
espresso, drip, manual brewing methods and French press. These conical burrs
are durable and will remain sharp for many years. The burrs have a precision
mounting system to ensure a stable platform for accurate grinding.
GEARBOX
The Virtuoso+ utilizes a simple and efficient direct drive gear reduction
transmission to move power from the DC motor to the rotating cone burr. A
thermal overload cutout protects the motor from overheating due to excessive
use – remember, these grinders are designed to grind a dose at a time for home
use!
GRIND ADJUSTMENT
Turn the hopper and with 40 settings you can quickly adjust from fine for
espresso to coarse for French press. The grind range is from 200 to 1200
microns.
GROUNDS RETENTION
To maximize freshness, the Virtuoso+ minimizes the ground coffee left in the
grinder.
BREWING METHODS
The Virtuoso+ is a great multi-purpose grinder for many styles of brewing from
espresso, to drip, to French press
MOTOR
A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor
turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding
duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal
cutoff switch.
DIGITAL TIMER
The motor is controlled by a 40 second digital timer adjustable to the tenth
of a second, that allows repeatable dosing.
CALIBRATION
An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full
range of grind. If necessary, the grinders can be user calibrated.
SPEED CONTROL
With unique speed control, the Virtuoso+ uses a combination of gear and
electronic speed reduction to control the rotation of the burr to 500 RPM.
This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It
also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
