The Baratza Vario is a powerful 54mm ceramic burr grinder with a compact footprint. Burr size—generally speaking, larger burrs offer a faster and more consistent grinding experience. This is because the larger cutting surface can grind your coffee dose faster with less heat and friction, causing less static electricity and fewer inconsistencies in the cup.Burr grinders offer the advantage of consistent grind size, allowing for better flavor extraction. However, they can be more expensive and take up more space than blade grinders. Consider your budget, brewing method, and available space before deciding which type of grinder is right for you.Pick the Baratza Vario if you want to make the most precise grind adjustments or you’ll need to grind larger servings of coffee. Buy the Rancilio Rocky if you want the more affordable grinder or you want one that will fit in with stainless steel appliances.Grind quality from the Vario is certainly pretty good, much better than its burr size would indicate, but where the grinder really stands out in my mind is its usability.

Is a bigger grinder better?
Large angle grinders are often more powerful than smaller ones, enabling them to tackle tougher materials and handle more demanding applications. The long short of it is: if youre cutting concrete, or thick construction metal: large angle grinders help you to cut it through material like a hot knife through butter. As a guide, use a 115mm angle grinder for precision and finishing work or occasional household use. Use a 125mm angle grinder for regular small-scale tasks and a 230mm angle grinder for large-scale regular work or professional use.
Is bigger burr size better?
Does burr size matter? Absolutely. A greater surface area means larger burrs grind more beans without generating as much heat that risks the oils essential to the coffee taste and aroma. This is true for both flat burr and conical burr grinders. Larger burrs (64mm–83mm) provide faster grinding and better particle uniformity. Smaller burrs (50mm–55mm) are quieter and more compact, but less efficient for back-to-back shots.
