NEW BARATZA VARIO-W :: INTEGRATED SCALE FOR ACCURACYBaratza has done it again! They've taken the already excellent Vario and added an integrated electronic scale for extra convenience and precision.The Vario-W is a fully integrated weight-based grinder. Baratza's groundbreaking Vario-W uses real-time weight-based grinding with a built-in electronic scale. Set the weight you want, the Vario-W does the rest, weighing the ground coffee to within +/- 0.2 g, while grinding, and stopping automatically.It has all the features of the Vario including small footprint, macro/micro adjustment, 54mm ceramic burrs, broad range of grind, but uses a weight-based dosing approach rather than a time based approach. Able to grind 1.5 g /sec at espresso and 2.5 g /sec at Press, the Vario-W is a high performance grinder.The Vario-W uses an easy and intuitive operation panel that includes three programmable dosage buttons, and a digital LCD window which displays the weight value.Awarded Best New Product of 2011 at SCAAThe Baratza Vario-W Grinder earned the honor of the Best New Commercial Product of 2011 at the Specialty Coffee Association of America's (SCAA) annual exposition.
