VirtuosoTM Manual
Thank you for purchasing the Virtuoso™ Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. With the
Virtuoso™, it’s now easier than ever to make professional quality coffee.
Below are detailed descriptions of the features that make the Virtuoso™ stand
out from other grinders in its class.
Precision Conical Burrs
Manufactured in Europe, the Virtuoso’s™ 40 mm conical burrs grind coffee at
1.5 to 2.4 g/sec. depending on the setting. But what really sets the Virtuoso™
burrs apart is that these burrs can do a very uniform grind, with a distinct
lack of nes across its grinding range. The Virtuoso™ burrs are exceptional for
espresso, drip, manual brewing methods and Press Pot. These conical burrs
are durable and will remain sharp for many years. The burrs have a precision
mounting system to ensure a stable platform for accurate grinding.

Grind Adjustment
The range of grind and accuracy of settings is truly impressive. The Virtuoso™
has 40 distinct settings to enable grinding from Espresso to French Press, with
the simple turn of the hopper.
Efcient Motor
The Virtuoso™ houses a powerful DC motor that produces more than four times
the output with twice the efciency of a standard AC motor found in most
grinders in this class. The motor spins at less than one-third the speed, making
it much quieter and lower in pitch. Extremely well-made, the motor is built to
handle long-duty cycles. In addition, it possesses a thermal safety device that
protects the motor from overheating and automatically resets once the motor
cools.

OPERATION
Before Using Your Grinder
Prior to using your Virtuoso™ grinder for the rst time you should wash the
bean hopper and ground coffee bin in warm soapy water. See the section on
Care and Cleaning for instruction on how to remove and reinstall these parts.
There may be some rust on the burrs when you receive your grinder. This is
normal and will disappear after a small amount of coffee has been ground. To
remove the rust and season the burrs, grind 1/4 pound of coffee and discard.
Initial Operation
Place the Virtuoso™ on a level surface and plug into a correct voltage, AC outlet
only. Remove the lid from the hopper by lifting off. Pour the desired quantity of
roasted whole coffee beans into the hopper up to a maximum of 8 oz. Replace
the lid. Ensure the ground coffee bin is fully inserted.

Setting the Grind Control
Slowly rotate the bean
hopper clockwise or
counter clockwise to
align the indicator on
the bean hopper with the
desired number setting
on the grind scale. (Lower
number=smaller particle
size) Select the correct
grind for the brew process
you are using.
Turning the hopper to the right (counter-clockwise) produces a bigger particle
size and left (clockwise) produces a smaller particle size.
The settings shown in the table below can be used as a general guideline. The
actual grind size for a particular setting will vary depending on many factors
including: degree of roast (light vs. dark), freshness, humidity, type of bean, oil
content, etc. With use, you will determine the setting that is right for your taste,
brewing style and your favorite beans.
