Bottom Line: Reasonable value for the price. A few outstanding features, and a few drawbacks that can be worked around.

Joel Bristol (quality: 9.0)	10.27.2007	Rating: 7.0
Bottom Line: Great grinder for the price that WILL do espresso....... but just barely.

Yves Feder (quality: 8.8)	12.10.2007	Rating: 9.8

Wes Howard-brook (quality: 8.7)	07.02.2009	Rating: 9.6

Geary Lyons (quality: 8.4)	02.26.2006	Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: The Virtuoso is a great all purpose grinder that will have its place on my counter for a long time!

Jesse Nice (quality: 8.3)	04.26.2008	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: Good grinder with a wide range and little retention, but not fine enough control for consistent espresso.

Patrick Lang (quality: 8.2)	03.21.2006	Rating: 9.2
Bottom Line: Excellent performance, value, and looks with no mess - this should be at the top of your short list.

Sam Decock (quality: 8.0)	12.30.2012	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: Simple - Intuitive - Sleek - THE grinder for brewed coffee.

Steve Pacenka (quality: 8.0)	05.04.2006	Rating: 7.6
Bottom Line: Good basic choice for people who need a wide range of grind sizes

Don Rutherford (quality: 8.0)	02.07.2009	Rating: 9.4
Bottom Line: I CANNOT SPEAK TO ESPRESSO, BUT FOR MY MOKA-DRIP-PRESS NEEDS, THIS MACHINE EXCELS!

M Lawrence (quality: 8.0)	01.27.2007	Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: This is a good grinder, but if it breaks I will buy something else in the hope I can get one that does not make me clean the kitchen as often ...

Donald Varona (quality: 7.8)	06.20.2007	Rating: 8.0
Bottom Line: A very good grinder for non-espresso coffee, if you don't mind its quirks.

Ivan Spencer (quality: 7.7)	05.23.2009	Rating: 7.2
Bottom Line: For 179, I'd say its a deal. Plan on returning unit for lower burr replacement someday. Grind quality is pretty consistent.

John B (quality: 7.5)	10.29.2009	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: A reliable well-built machine for all non-espresso purposes.

Mattias M (quality: 7.3)	05.14.2008	Rating: 5.6
Bottom Line: Don't buy this grinder for a Silvia . . . I regretted not paying $100 more for a Rocky.

Kevin Welch (quality: 7.3)	08.30.2007	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: Great grinder that produces great espresso and french press grinds with no static problems. But you need to buy it from Baratza and ask for it to be factory calibrated to "fine".

Steve Bennet (quality: 7.2)	04.16.2006	Rating: 5.4
Bottom Line: DO NOT BUY

Ryan Palmer (quality: 7.0)	09.04.2007	Rating: 8.2
Bottom Line: simply put, one of the best grinders on the market for its price range, very few complaints
