Baratza Maestro Plus Grinder New 2011 Model - The Maestro Plus just went through a redesign. The result is a grinder with the same great performance at a lower price. The only difference is the base is now weighed black plastic. The Maestro Plus still combines flexibility, ease of use, and rock-solid stability that has made it the grinder of choice for the coffee enthusiast.

The Maestro Plus is built with conical burrs that can produce the perfect grind for any style of coffee from Turkish to French Press. The range of grind is 30% greater than the original Maestro; this increase is on the coarsest settings making it easier to get the perfect grind for Drip and French Press. The number of grind setting has been increased by over 100% to 40 steps, providing more grind adjustments. New graphics on the timer switch and the grind adjustment make this grinder easy to use.

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 momentary push-button switch, prominent on the nose of the grinder, allows for precise custom coffee powder dosing.

-Dimensions: 5W x 14H x 6D inches
-1 year parts and labour warranty

The Pannarello allows the brewing of hot water for the dispensing of hot drinks and infusions at the same time, thanks to his powerful steam jet, making even more thick and creamy cappuccino's foam.
A patented "pressure portafilter" which allows the operator to control the speed and flow of espresso to maximize the amount of flavourful crema, regardless of the accuracy of espresso grind. For convenience, the filter holder accepts either ground coffee or preground coffee pods.
The large transparent removable 1.9 liters reservoir can be refilled from the side at any time during the operation for an endless supply of coffee or steam. The side casing is transparent so you can see the water level in the tank at all times.
Dual spout dispensing head - At one time, you can brew two cups in tandem, placing them next to each other so the brew head divides the espresso evenly between the two cups.
Thanks to Pre-Brewing, another Saeco patent, coffee gains major aroma and body.
Pod adaptable filter holder- If prefer, you can make espressos without measuring out ground coffee. Industry standard ESE pods (prepackaged coffee “teabags”) fit perfectly with the right amount of coffee and no mess to clean up afterwards.
