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!

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.

Random Person (quality: 4.5)	04.16.2006	Rating: 2.2
Bottom Line: Poor design, poorly executed. And, it comes from the factory unable to grind fine enough for espresso!

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

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

Alan Adler (quality: 6.0)	05.11.2006	Rating: 9.0
Bottom Line: The best grinder I've ever used.

Paul Wood (quality: 6.1)	05.22.2006	Rating: 8.8
Bottom Line: More than a steal if you get it at the refurbished price from Baratza.

Jerry Atencio (quality: 1.8)	08.20.2006	Rating: 10.0
Bottom Line: A Great Product!

Frederick Schechter (quality: 6.3)	09.02.2006	Rating: 1.2
Bottom Line: Do not buy this machine! We have been Beta-testers for Baratza. If you must buy it or one of its off-shoots, call Baratza and ask for the new "SWEET" machine!!

Roy Mongiovi (quality: 6.5)	09.04.2006	Rating: 2.0
Bottom Line: Save your $200. You can get a whirly blade grinder that's just as bad as the Virtuoso for a lot less money.

A C (quality: 6.3)	12.21.2006	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Good grinder for the money but a bit messy.

Eero Simoncelli (quality: 9.1)	12.30.2006	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: Reasonable value for the price. A few outstanding features, and a few drawbacks that can be worked around.

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 ...

Aaron Fabbri (quality: 7.0)	02.09.2007	Rating: 5.2
Bottom Line: Not ready for the mass-market. I feel like I got a prototype machine with obvious shortcomings.

Oana D (quality: 6.0)	06.12.2007	Rating: 5.0
Bottom Line: A good grind, but it breaks easily.

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.

Antonius De Korte (quality: 7.0)	08.21.2007	Rating: 8.4
Bottom Line: An excellent grinder for the money, at least for drip.

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".

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

Aloka Rajiv (quality: 6.0)	10.04.2007	Rating: 7.8
Bottom Line: A good mid-priced burr grinder.
