Is the Baratza Vario a good grinder?
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. It’s a very easy to use and easy to service unit in a home friendly footprint. Our favorite coffee grinders include the Baratza Encore Conical Burr Grinder and OXO Conical Burr Coffee Grinder. The Baratza is best for ultimate control and adjustability, while the OXO will suit most coffee drinkers just fine with its grind consistency, easily changeable settings, and sub-$100 price point.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.
