Bottom Line: This product is a useless piece of expensive garbage.

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.

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!

Jim Minton (quality: 1.5)	06.09.2012	Rating: 3.2
Bottom Line: Piece of crap. No, I take that back. Expensive piece of crap!

Ola Bovin (quality: 3.0)	11.12.2012	Rating: 3.6
Bottom Line: Baratza's "no money-back guaranteee" isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Peter Forlano (quality: 4.4)	09.13.2008	Rating: 3.8
Bottom Line: This machine and it's company need to do a lot more wood shedding to live up to the name.

Dave Mclennan (quality: 1.8)	10.06.2011	Rating: 4.0
Bottom Line: IF YOU HAVE 300$ FOR A GRINDER THE LELIT PL53 IS THE ONLY ONE TO GET FOR ME IT MATCHES 500$ AND UP GRINDERS ANY DAY

Mark Wise (quality: 6.0)	10.24.2010	Rating: 4.2
Bottom Line: $$$ every two years for either a new grinder or shipping/repairs!? You gotta be kidding me.

B McKnight (quality: 4.3)	12.02.2010	Rating: 4.2
Bottom Line: The Edsel of grinders.

Michael Reid (quality: 5.0)	10.08.2011	Rating: 4.4
Bottom Line: I can see why someone would see this and buy it, but it is simply unusable for even the experienced user let alone a novice.

Tony Szpara (quality: 1.1)	04.01.2008	Rating: 5.0
Bottom Line: Find something more durable.

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

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.

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 ...

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

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.

Pam Chalkley (quality: 4.5)	06.18.2010	Rating: 6.0
Bottom Line: Great grinder if you don't use dark flavored coffee.

Rui Rebelo (quality: 6.3)	08.27.2010	Rating: 6.4
Bottom Line: This grinder lasted 6 years. It's vinyl/plastic parts brake too easily. I gave up on fixing them. Will buy a different grinder.

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.
