Precise, conical burrs: The slow rotating conical burrs of the Maestro Plus preserve the aroma and flavor of the freshly ground beans. Forty steps of adjustment provide the fine tuning needed for Espresso, Drip, and French Press Coffee. Innovative burr calibration system: The range of grind and the accuracy of the settings is truly impressive. The Maestro Plus has 40 distinct settings of grind from Espresso to French Press. An innovative calibration system allows all the manufacturing tolerances of the grinder to be eliminated, resulting in identical, accurate performance from each grinder. Furthermore the Maestro Plus ring burr is supported on three points, providing a stable platform for a more accurate grind. Efficient motor: The Maestro uses a 240 watt DC motor. The motor spins at less than one-third the speed of the AC motors used in most home grinders, making it much quieter and lower in pitch. In addition, it possesses a thermal safety device that protects the motor from overheating and automatically resets once the motor cools.
