Best praise vs top criticism for Baratza Virtuoso+
“Get the 1ZPresso! I've had the 1ZPresso J-Max since 2021 and still grind with it twice a day. There is a noticeable taste difference (for the better) compared to my Baratza Virtuoso+, it's easy to disassemble and clean, it's well built and hefty, and the burrs have almost no sign of wear after this time. They make good grinders.”
“My Virtuoso+ has seemed to develop a wobble and it’s grinding quite slowly over the last year and a half. It takes maybe a full 90 seconds to grind 25g of beans for drip. For context I’ve had this for about 7 years as a daily driver. I’ve taken it apart and put it back together again for cleaning more times than I can count, so I haven’t put it back together wrong and nothing seems broken. Has anyone else experienced this? Are the burrs wearing down or is something else going on. Thanks in advance.”
