BURRS

The Baratza Vario’s professional-grade 54 mm ceramic flat burrs allow for precision grinding, high output and remain sharp for double the time as even the highest quality steel burrs. The machine is able to grind 1.6 grams per second for fine, and 2.2 grams per second for course. The expansive range of grind, which is from 230 to 1150 microns, and the lack of fines are evidence of the superior Baratza Vario burrs.

DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL

The control panel, which is mounted on the front of the Vario, has an easy and intuitive LED display. There are 3 programmable buttons which allow for grind-time setting within an incredibly precise 0.1 second (or 0.2 gram). Precise and automatic dosing is as simple as a press of a button.

GRIND ADJUSTMENT

The Baratza Vario provides both macro and micro adjustment for simplified fine tuning. The macro adjustment moves easily from espresso to press with 10 repeatable and distinct settings. An additional micro adjustment arm allows for even more precise divisions of the ten macro steps, resulting 20 individual settings. All of this works together to allow you to dial in the precise grind for the perfect cup of coffee.

GRINDS LEFT IN GRINDER

To ensure the most fresh coffee possible, the Baratza Vario keeps coffee grounds left in the grinder to an absolute minimum.

BREWING METHODS

The Baratza Vario is extraordinary for manual pour and espresso brewing methods.

MOTOR

The Vario boasts a powerful, high torque DC motor that effortlessly and efficiently drives the burrs. The motor’s slow rotation results in quiet, cool operation and allows for extended grinding duty-cycles. The electronics are equipped with an auto-reset thermal cutoff switch.

CALIBRATION

Baratza’s industry-leading burr calibration system assures that each or their machines has the full range of grind. The machine is calibrated at the factory, which ensures an accurate grind range. However, it can also be calibrated using a special tool, which comes with the machine.

PORTAHOLDER

The Baratza Vario comes from the factory with a Metal PortaHolder. When Barazta began offering the Forté-AP which included the Metal PortaHolder they received lots of feedback to change out the plastic PortaHolder which came with previous Vario models, with the stronger metal PortaHolder from the Forté AP. Due to adding this more heavy duty PortaHolder, the Vario body required some changes to ensure a non-slip fit for the Metal PortaHolder. The new model featured here includes all the upgrades, and ships with the Metal PortaHolder. The 8 oz. grounds bin is also included with the grinder.

CLEANING

Easy cleanup is essential when considering a high-end grinder that will get lots of use. The Baratza Vario makes it easy with easily removable burrs that require no tools.
