Coffee grinders

At the heart of the Maestro Plus™ are 40mm German made conical burrs, which are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine to very coarse. Few grinders have the ability to grind fine enough for a professional espresso machine and coarse 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.

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 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.

A 240 watt DC motor 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 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.

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.

The Maestro Plus™ grinder is protected by a one year warranty, so you can rest assured that your purchase is protected long after you've bought it.
