I have been using a Solis Maestro Plus with a Starbucks Barista Espresso machine and a Technivorm Moccamaster CD drip maker in my office with great success for over a year. I decided it was time to upgrade my home equipment and purchased Rancilio Silvia espresso machine and a second Technivorm Moccamaster CD drip maker for home. Since the Solis Maestro Plus was working well in the office I thought I would buy essentially the same grinder with improvements thus the Bratza Virtuoso. The first Virtuoso produced so much static that when the bin was removed grinds would actually stick to the face of the grinder. from 1st-line.net It is built to last. I use for espresso with a Miss Sylvia, a very picky machine. The Virtuoso does very well with Miss Sylvia, producing consistent golden rule shots. I go from espresso to French press grind and back. from 1st-line.net I read the reviews and decided on it and order it. It arrived damaged. I called their number but got a recording and the recording used a different company name than Baratza. The message didn't even say leave a message at the tone but just "bye". from Amazon.com the bottom line: this is an excellent value for an entry level prosumer grinder, but not really necessary if you don't have a pump espresso machine or are happy buying ground coffee. from Shopping.com i use this coffee grinder soley for drip coffee. from 1st-line.net i have been using a solis maestro plus with a starbucks barista espresso machine and a technivorm moccamaster cd drip maker in my office with great success for over a year. from 1st-line.net simply put a great grinder for espresso to french press. from 1st-line.net quiet. from 1st-line.net pros: price, ease of use, ability to grind into portafilter, size cons: grind inconsistency, lack of usable grind range the bottom line: great grinder for the espresso beginner from Shopping.com pros: quiet, consistent grind, anti-static, designed and built to last. from Shopping.com
