The Maestro Plus is based on the very popular Maestro grinder. The Maestro Plus includes all the winning features of the Maestro, 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 has 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. |

German made conical burrs:
The Maestro uses the same 40 mm conical burrs it has always used. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grinds from very fine coarse. |

Innovative Calibration:
Commercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that the grinder will grind fine enough for some espresso machines with pressurized portafilters and has the range to grind coarse enough for a press pot. Now this feature is available in a grinder designed for home use. The grinders are calibrated when they are manufactured to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary the grinders can be user calibrated.

DC Motor:
A 240 watt DC motor is replacing the current AC motor. The DC motor is twice as powerful as the current motor and turns slowly resulting a cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.
Special Gear Reduction:
The Maestro uses a combination of gear and electronic speed reducers to slow the spinning of the burr to 450 RPM. This slow speed reduces heat, noise and static generation in the grinder. It also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs.

Timer switch:
The Maestro plus has a sixty second timer, with segmented graphics, for easily repeatable grind times. It also has a front mounted pulse button that manually controls the on/off function. This is perfect for grinding a small amount of coffee for espresso
Pulse Button:
If you have an espresso machine, you will enjoy the convenience of being able to grind directly into the filter basket for your machine. After you remove the coffee grounds bin, you can insert your filter basket directly under the dispensing chute to collect the coffee as it is being dispensed. |
