Maestro Coffee Grinder by Baratza

The Maestro Conical Burr Grinder is one of the most eye pleasing grinders on the market, but the beauty isn’t skin deep.  Inside is the heart of a great grinder that can grind coffee beans for any style of coffee, whether it is an espresso machine, drip coffee maker, or press pot.  The Maestro was originally introduced in 2001 with lots of innovative features.  In March 2007, the Maestro was upgraded to include increased range of adjustment, an innovative calibration system, a new powerful DC motor and other improvements.

German made conical burrs
The Maestro uses the same 40 mm conical burrs it has always used.  Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to coarse.

Grind Coffee for Any Brewing Method
There are many coffee grinders on the market.  However, few have the ability to grind fine enough for a professional espresso machine and coarse enough for a press pot.  The upgraded Maestro has 40 steps of adjustment, up from 18 steps.  Choose the perfect setting by turning the bean hopper to the desired position.

Innovative calibration
Commercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that the grinder will grind fine enough for espresso and has the range to grind coarse enough for a press pot.  Now this feature is available in a grinder designed for home use.  The grinders are calibrated when they are manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind.  If necessary the grinders can be user calibrated.

DC Motor
A 240 watt DC motor is replacing the current AC motor.  The DC motor is twice as powerful as the current motor and turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles.  The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.

Special Gear Reduction
The Maestro uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reducers to slow the spinning of the burr to 450 RPM.  This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.

On/Off Switch
The Maestro is equipped with a uniquely designed On/Off switch.  You may rotate the switch clockwise or counter clockwise from any position without damaging it.
