What do owners report about the Baratza Virtuoso+?
16 reports · 3 sources, across 8 topics
- reaching the hopper: Four reports describe the hopper, three of them from the same retailer page. One likes the light in the hopper for checking that the beans have all run through; of the other three, one says the lid vibrates off because it does not snap in place, another says the hopper itself moves noticeably while the grinder runs, and the third notes that grind size is set by rotating the hopper.
- how it holds up: Two reports give different accounts of durability: one says the grinder has never needed repair beyond routine burr replacement, while the other says the burr, adjustment ring, paddle wheel and gasket have each been replaced at least once over two years.
- how loud it is: Four reports, three of them from the same retailer page, disagree sharply on noise: three call it quiet, one of them quieter than the Encore and another quieter than the cheaper grinders used before it, while the fourth calls it screamingly loud, enough to wake the house at 5am.
- beans that clog it: One report, written after two years of use, says the grinder regularly clogs and chews through gaskets.

Makers and retailers publish 3 of the 8 figures a fit check uses; the other 5 you measure on your counter like this:
- Space behind it: Measure from the wall to the front edge of your counter with a tape, take away the depth above, and keep at least a hand's width of what is left behind the machine for its cable and air.
- Space beside it: Measure the open counter between the wall or the next appliance on each side, take away the width above, and check that what is left gives your hand room at the knobs and the steam wand.
- Space above it: Measure from the counter to the underside of your upper cabinet and compare it with the height above; the difference is the room you have to open a lid or reach the top of the machine.
- Room above the grinder to load beans: Measure from the counter to the underside of your upper cabinet and take away the height above; what is left is the room over the hopper, and it has to take the lifted lid plus an open bag of beans tipped to pour.
- Front working reach: Measure from the front edge of your counter to where the front of the machine will sit, and compare it with the length of your forearm; that is the room to lock in the handle, slide out the drip tray and stand at the machine.
Nothing fits on its own, it fits a particular counter, so this page holds the figures and a setup makes the call.
Who is the Baratza Virtuoso+ right for?
Your counter has 5.1 in (13 cm) across and 5.9 in (15 cm) front to wall to give it, with 13.4 in (34 cm) clear above.
The one thing to check first
Depth is published at 5.9 in (15 cm), and it is the figure most likely to end this search. Measure the space you have against it before anything else. Measure from the very back of the item to the very front, at its deepest point. (manufacturer)
When is another machine the better pick?
Your counter is tighter than that. The Encore Coffee Grinder is 0.4 in (1 cm) narrower, in the same category, and we have its width and depth figures too.
What is left for you to check?
Grind quality: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.Reliability over five years: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.Build quality: nobody here has held one, so there is no verdict.How much power does the Baratza Virtuoso+ draw?
Baratza Virtuoso+ draws 70 W at 120 V, 0.8 A on the circuit. Every figure behind this is a manufacturer's published dimension, and nobody has put a tape on one.

What owners report
What owners say in their own reviews and posts, on the things no maker states: the tank, the hopper, the room around the machine. We quote them; we never use their words as a measurement or a fit answer.
In short
Sixteen reports describe the Virtuoso Plus. Reports split hardest on noise: three call it quiet, one of them quieter than the Encore, while one calls it screamingly loud, loud enough to wake the house at 5am. They also split on how it holds up: one report has never needed a repair beyond routine burr replacement, while a two-year report has replaced the burr, adjustment ring, paddle wheel and gasket at least once each and says it regularly clogs and chews up gaskets. The biggest caution is the hopper: one report says its lid rests rather than latches and vibrates off constantly, and another that the hopper moves noticeably while grinding. The full reports are below, grouped by topic.
