The 'new' Maestro Plushas recently been released and our price is now even lower. The Maestro Plus includes a 60 second timer, a front mounted pulse button. The weight of the Maestro Plus gives it a rock-solid feel and increased stability. Baratza recently made a small design change (late February, 2011) to the base, the lowest 1/2 inch of the mill. It is now made of matching plastic with an inner liner of metal so there is no change in weight or solidity. This tiny change makes the mill more affordable without any sacrifice in performance.

The original Maestro Plus was introduced in 2004. Then, in March 2007 it was upgraded to include an innovative calibration system, new powerful DC motor and other improvements.

Base shown above now matches the body.

Detailed Product Features:

European made conical burrs

The Maestro Plus uses the same 40 mm conical burrs it has always used. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very course.

Grind Coffee for Any Brewing Method

There are many coffee grinders on the market. However, few have the ability to grind fine enough for a professional espresso machine and course enough for a French press coffee maker. The Maestro Plus has 40 steps of adjustment. Choose the perfect setting by turning the bean hopper to the desired position.

Innovative calibration

Commercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that the grinder will grind fine enough for espresso and has the range to grind course enough for press pot. Now this feature is available in a grinder designed for home use. An innovative burr calibration system ensures that each grinder has the full range of grind. The grinders are calibrated when they are manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary the grinders can be user calibrated.

DC Motor

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.

Special Gear Reduction

The Maestro Plus™ 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.

Timers switch and Pulse button

The Maestro Plus™ has a sixty second timer, with segmented graphics, for easily repeatable grind times. It also has a front mounted pulse button that manually controls the on/off function. This is nice if you wish to grind a small amount of coffee for espresso.

Pulse button makes Espresso Easy

If you have an espresso machine, you will enjoy the convenience of being able to grind directly into the filter basket for your machine. After you remove the coffee grounds bin, you can insert your filter basket (portafilter) directly under the dispensing chute to collect the coffee as it is being dispensed. You can push the pulse button with your thumb while holding the filter basket for true one hand operation.

Service & Support

One year warranty. If your grinder has a problem the manufacturer will see if they can resolve it by phone or they will promptly send a replacement grinder and a return tag for your old one.
