The
Maestro
Conical
Burr
Grinder is
one of the
most eye
pleasing
grinders
on the
market,
but the
beauty
isn’t skin
deep.
Inside is
the heart
of a great
grinder
that can
grind
coffee
beans for
any style
of coffee,
whether it
is an
espresso
machine,
drip
coffee
maker, or
press
pot. The
Maestro
was
originally
introduced
in 2001
with lots
of
innovative
features.
In March
2007, the
Maestro
was
upgraded
to include
increased
range of
adjustment,
an
innovative
calibration
system, a
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 to
course.
Grind
Coffee for
Any
Brewing
Method
There are
many
coffee
grinders
on the
market.
However,
few have
the
ability to
grind fine
enough for
a
professional
espresso
machine
and course
enough for
a press
pot. The
upgraded
Maestro
has 40
steps of
adjustment,
up from 18
steps.
Choose the
perfect
setting by
turning
the bean
hopper to
the
desired
position.
Innovative
calibration
Commercial
grinders
have a
calibration
system to
ensure
that the
grinder
will grind
fine
enough for
espresso
and has
the range
to grind
course
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
in 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.
On/Off
Switch
The
Maestro is
equipped
with a
uniquely
designed
On/Off
switch.
You may
rotate the
switch
clockwise
or counter
clockwise
from any
position
without
damaging
it. |
