Precision Grinding with 54mm Flat Ceramic Burrs
At the heart of the Baratza Vario+ are its high-performance 54mm flat ceramic burrs, designed to deliver consistent grinding results across a wide range of brewing methods.
The burrs provide the precision required for fine espresso grinding while offering the flexibility to prepare coarser grounds for filter coffee.
Durable and replaceable, these ceramic burrs make the Vario+ an excellent long-term investment for home baristas who appreciate quality coffee equipment.
220 Grind Settings – Dial In Your Perfect Coffee
Every coffee bean is different, and achieving the right grind size can make a significant difference to the flavour of your coffee.
The Baratza Vario+ features a dual-lever adjustment system with 10 macro settings and 22 micro adjustments, providing 220 grind positions.
The macro adjustment makes it easy to move between brewing methods, while the micro adjustment lets you make smaller changes to fine-tune extraction.
Ideal brewing methods include:
- Espresso
- Pour-over coffee
- V60 and other manual filter methods
- AeroPress
- French press
With this level of adjustment, you can experiment with different coffee beans, recipes and brewing techniques to discover your preferred flavour profile.
Smart Timed Dosing with Three Programmable Presets
Enjoy a more efficient coffee routine with the Vario+’s programmable digital timer.
Set and save up to three grinding times, making it simple to return to your preferred dose without adjusting the timer every morning.
The timer can be adjusted in 0.1-second increments, helping you achieve repeatable dosing with greater control.
Whether you’re preparing a single espresso, double espresso or filter coffee, the intuitive controls make switching between recipes convenient.
Note: The Baratza Vario+ uses time-based dosing. It does not feature an integrated weighing scale.
Hands-Free Espresso Grinding
The included adjustable PortaHolder allows you to grind directly into your espresso machine’s portafilter.
Simply position your portafilter, select your preferred timed preset and start grinding.
For manual brewing, replace the PortaHolder with the included grounds collection bin.
This flexible system makes the Vario+ a practical choice for home baristas who enjoy both espresso and filter coffee.
Designed for Convenience and Everyday Performance
Easy-to-Read Digital Display
The backlit digital display and LED illumination make it easy to view your settings and operate the grinder, even in low-light conditions.
Convenient Bean Hopper
The bean hopper includes a shut-off mechanism, allowing you to remove the hopper without emptying all the beans first. This makes changing between coffee varieties easier and cleaner.
Durable Construction
With its robust metal grind chamber and high-torque motor, the Vario+ is engineered for reliable performance, while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for home kitchens and coffee stations.
Simple Cleaning and Calibration
Regular maintenance is straightforward thanks to the included burr removal and calibration tools. These allow access to the grind chamber for cleaning and help maintain the grinder’s adjustment range.
