Also due to popular demand, Baratza has released steel burrs which can be used with the Vario. As a premium electric grinder, the Baratza Vario gives excellent grind consistency. Overall, the Baratza Vario is made of high quality components. The electric grinder is powered by a high torque DC motor that ensures the burrs rotate at a steady RPM. The casing of the grinder is mainly plastic which is unfortunate.
It is certainly sturdy and can deal with a beating but undeniably plastic does just feel and look less premium that metal. Similarly, when released there was some controversy as the burrs are mounted in plastic which is unconventional for a high-end grinder.
However, as mentioned earlier, this is a time-tested all-purpose grinder. In general, the Baratza Vario is a pleasure to use.
It has a small footprint and so can easily fit into most kitchens and coffee stations. In addition, the Vario has been intentionally designed to have a very short and direct grind path. This means there are less places for all ground coffee to accumulate in the grinder and so less retention. The grinder also comes with the ability to set up to three time-based presets for automatic dosing. Although you will still need to manually set the grind size, this does help workflow and is a nice feature.
Also like other Baratza grinders, the Vario has an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch to prevent the motor from burning out. It is also worth mentioning that Baratza has a well earned reputation for customer service. So if your Vario does play up you can be sure Baratza will have your back. So in summary, who should consider purchasing the Baratza Vario? And the answer we would give is the home brewer looking for a high quality grinder to cover a range of brewing methods.
If espresso is your main game then the Vario is not for you and you would be better off with the Mazzer Mini. The genius of this grinder is its versatility and flexibility. It is a good grinder if you are regularly changing between brewing methods and looking for a single grinder to cater to your needs. Your email address will not be published.
