Maestro Grinder - The Maestro Conical Burr Grinder is one of the most
eye pleasing grinders on the market, but the beauty isn’t skin deep.
Inside is the heart of a great grinder that can grind coffee beans for any
style of coffee, whether it is an espresso machine, drip coffee maker, or
press pot. The Maestro was originally introduced in 2001 with lots of
innovative features. In March 2007, the Maestro was upgraded to include
increased range of adjustment, an innovative calibration system, a new
powerful DC motor and other improvements.
The Maestro uses the same 40 mm conical
burrs it has always used. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at
producing consistent grinds from very fine to coarse.
There are many coffee grinders on the
market. However, few have the ability to grind fine enough for a
professional espresso machine and coarse enough for a press pot. The
upgraded Maestro has 40 steps of adjustment, up from 18 steps. Choose the
perfect setting by turning the bean hopper to the desired position.
Commercial grinders have a calibration
system to ensure that the grinder will grind fine enough for espresso and
has the range to grind coarse enough for a press pot. Now this feature is
available in a grinder designed for home use. The grinders are calibrated
when they are manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind. If
necessary the grinders can be user calibrated.
A 240 watt DC motor is replacing the
current AC motor. The DC motor is twice as powerful as the current motor
and turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long
grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically
resetting, thermal cutoff switch.
The Maestro uses a combination of gear
and electronic speed reducers to slow the spinning of the burr to 450
RPM. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static generation in the
grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.
The Maestro is equipped with a uniquely
designed On/Off switch. You may rotate the switch clockwise or counter
clockwise from any position without damaging it
Additional features include:
-Slow rotation insures extremely low static electricity issues
-Special gear reduction for slow rotation, ensuring the retention of the
aroma and flavor of the freshly ground beans.
-Large 5 oz ground-coffee bin as well as the ability to grind directly
into espresso porta-filters and drip coffee filters
-8 oz. Bean capacity
-A rotating timer switch provides automatically repeatable coffee powder
dosing.
-A momentary push-button switch, prominent on the nose of the grinder,
allows for precise custom coffee powder dosing.
-Ground coffee drops vertically into the tightly fitting coffee bin,
insuring dust free operation.
-Bin area is large enough to accommodate even commercial sized port
filters for grinding directly into them, without the bin.
-Dimensions: 5W x 14H x 6D inches
-1 year parts and labour warranty
