Product Description:
The Maestro Plus™ includes all the winning features of the original Maestro grinder, plus some extras that increase its versatility and ease of use.
The Maestro Plus™ includes a 60 second timer, a front mounted pulse button and a brushed-satin metal base. The Maestro Plus™ has double the weight of the Maestro™ which gives it a rock-solid feel and increased stability.
The original Maestro Plus™ was introduced in 2004. In March 2007 it was upgraded to include an innovative calibration system, new powerful DC motor and other improvements.
The range of grind is 30% greater than the original Maestro. This increase is on the coarsest settings making it easier to get the perfect grind for drip and French press brewers. The number of grind settings has been increased by over 100% to 40 levels, resulting in a huge range of grinds. The key advantage of the increased settings is precision fine-tuning of your espresso grind settings. The Maestro is designed and assembled in the USA with lots of innovative features built in. These include a list of unique features requested by some of America's most respected coffee experts.
Some of the most requested features include smooth, quiet operation which is the result from motor isolation; conical burrs that give a fine grind critical for perfect espresso extraction, over 50% greater grind adjustment compared to other grinders in its class, ranging from a fine Turkish grind to a nice even French coffee press grind, and a special gear reduction for slow rotation, ensuring the retention of the aroma and flavor of the freshly ground beans. It features a powerful 160 watt electric motor that won’t bog down when grinding at fine settings.
