Malor: This is a fantastic grinder, super uniform with its output. It's a little loud, you might not want to use it in the same room where people are sleeping, but it'd be fine in the next room. It's medium-pitched, not a high whine, so it's unlikely to bother anyone at least a room away.
It'd be nice if the hopper was bigger. It holds about three cups of coffee beans. That's enough, but five or six cups would be preferable for my use. (I don't change coffee type very much.)
When assembling, pay careful attention to the instructions. It seems very difficult at first, but goes together in a very specific way. If it's at all hard, you're probably not doing it right. The trickiest bit might be the little rubber gasket that goes in first; you don't actually need to stretch it. If you're careful and just wiggle it slightly, it should drop into place. It *looks like* you should stretch it over the catch posts, but if you do, you'll have a real hard time getting it to fit. Once you know how it works, it's dead easy to take apart for cleaning, and then put it back together. Everything is very cleverly designed.
I can't talk about longevity yet. It's been fine so far. If I...

MJT: I did a lot of research on burr coffee grinders before making this purchase. The quality of the equipment and the taste of the coffee are as good as the research indicated. The machine is noisy which does not make any difference to me; however, if you were looking for something quiet this is not your grinder. It does however function incredibly well and the resulting grind makes excellent tasting coffee. The grinder has a wide range of adjustment. I like my coffee very robust, so I use grind setting 16 for my drip coffee maker. I an very happy with this purchase.

Tuan Khong: I like the fact that it has a "calibrate" feature where you can adjust the grind such that you can produce ground good for espresso.
It also pisses me off that it has a calibrate feature but it is hidden such that you have to disassemble the dang thing in order to make adjustments; It pisses me off even more is the factory default is set to the lowest setting which produces ground so course that is not suitable for any type of brew. If it had been set to medium then I wouldn't have to mess with it from the get go and would likely satisfy the majority of the customers. Had it been up to my wife, it would have gone back in less than a heart beat.
Lastly, it makes me scratch my head when I had to use the timer dial. I wish I could listen in on their design discussions.
Recommendation: yes, if you are accustomed to tinkering with things and are willing to rip it apart and mess with the "calibrate" feature

wjmacvic: This coffee burr grinder replaces one that had been very dependable for over two decades. So, I was concerned about getting a new one. The Baratza Virtuoso has met my expectations. This is a quality machine that does the job it promises.

Richard LeBlanc: Since I enjoy coffee tremendously, I decided to up my grinding game. After some research, I learned this is one of the best "home" burr grinders on the market. The company's heritage and commitment to service and support tipped the scales for me. Let me tell you this is not a cheap as in dollars unit, so the overall sturdiness, build quality and versatility impressed me. Ease of assembling and maintenance is a bonus. And it's not even that loud, relatively speaking. With 40 grind settings and programmable timer, it takes some trialing to dial in correct settings to your taste. And when you nail it, you are consistently rewarded with rich, flavourful coffee. That is, until you try a different blend. But it's also about the journey, right?

Hardeep Asrani: It’s an amazing grinder if you brew coffee. Obviously, it’s not something new I’m saying, the reputation of Baratza is well known.
But if you want to make great espresso, this isn’t a grinder for you. I’ve still rated it 5 starts because it’s not supposed to be an Espresso grinder in the first place. It can grind fine enough for espresso but you can not dial it in properly for espresso. But overall, it’s an amazing grinder for brewing with all other methods.

Zig: I was disappointed when I realized that my older (jan 2017) "Capresso 565 Infinity" grinder gives me a definitively finer grind then the brand new Baratza Virtuoso+, and you can get the Capresso Zinc Die-Cast (565.05) for ~100$ less, or an ABS casing (560.01), for less then half the price of the Baratza !
Both are conical steel burr.
A finer grind gives you access to more coffee varieties to brew as espresso : Some coffees require a finer grind or even the best espresso maker will fail (case to be made for a pressurized portafilter to brew any coffee as espresso) !

phantasiemanenquatsch: Um mit dem größten Kritikpunkt anzufangen: Die Baratza Virtuoso Plus ist nicht die leiseste Kaffeemühle, allerdings immerhin leiser als das (preiswerte) Teil welches zuvor in unserer Küche werkelte.
Außerdem erscheint sie, besonders verglichen mit der Baratza Encore, recht teuer.
Aber sie ist nach meiner Erfahrung ihr Geld wert.
Zum einen sind die Mahlergebnisse sehr gut (getestet für Filterkaffee und French Press - für Espresso sollte man eine spezielle Espressomühle wählen).
Zum anderen ist die Mühle extrem praktisch. Hopper alle paar Tage füllen und morgens auf Knopfdruck den Timer starten.
Kein ständiges Abmessen/Wiegen, keine unnützen Deckelchen, keine großen Probleme mit statischer Aufladung, kein verstreutes Kaffeemehl.
Einfach den frisch gemahlenen Kaffee umschütten und aufbrühen.
Anders als bei der vorherigen Mühle kocht jetzt jeder in der Familie gerne guten Kaffee.

Bryan Williamson: The machine is a little loud but it works great. You can really dial in your grind and get the perfect grind size for the coffee type you are making. You will have to play with the grind time to really dial in the amount of coffee you want to control the strength of the brewed coffee. Once you have your grind time and size dialed in this helps make a great tasking pot of coffee.
