Baratza Vario-W Burr Grinder
|
Named one of the best new products of 2011, the Baratza Vario-W not only gives you the ability to create that precise grind for your ideal shots but has been upgraded to incorporate weight. Using real-time weight-based grinding with a built-in electronic scale, all you need to do is set your weight preference and the Vario-W will do the rest of the work for you. With the ability to weight ground coffee to more or less 0.2g while grinding it will stop automatically to your desired weight.
Compared to its' Vario predecessor, they are almost identical - small footprint, macro/mico adjustment, 54 mm ceramic burrs and a broad range of grinds - except for the fact that the Vario-W uses a weight-based dosing approach versus the Vario's time based approach.
With an easy-to-read digital LCD window that shows the weight value that is being ground, you won't need to worry about pre-weighing your beans any longer.

Components & Functionality
- 54mm ceramic flat burrs: Stay sharper longer. Ceramic has a 1.5 -2.0X longer life than steel burrs. Keeps the coffee cool by limiting the amount of heat transferred from the burrs to the grinds.
- Weight-Based: Set the weight of your desired ground coffee to more or less 0.2 g and the Vario-W will weigh the ground coffee while grinding and will stop automatically when it reaches your desired weight.
- Grind on Demand with Electronic Dosing: Grinds only the coffee you require for each shot. Eliminates the risk of stale ground coffee common in mechanical dosing units. 0.1 second adjustable steps (0.2 grams).
- Programming: Features three, user programmable grind weight buttons.
- Innovative dual cam grind adjustment: The right hand lever lets you choose what type of grind you’d like. The lever on the left lets you fine tune the grind within the range you’ve selected for a perfect grind. Over 230 grind settings available.
- Super Quiet: Powerful DC motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits extended grinding time. The circuitry is equipped with an automatic reset thermal switch.
