baratza vario+
flat ceramic burrs, 230 settings, one grinder for everything
the Vario+ is built for home brewers who want one grinder to cover espresso, pour over, french press, and everything between. the 54mm flat ceramic burrs, made by Mahlkonig, run cooler than steel and stay sharp longer, which matters most with light roasts. 230 stepped settings give you real range, and the digital dosing system is accurate to a tenth of a second. at $529.95, flat ceramic performance at this level is genuinely hard to find.
