Baratza Esatto Grinder Scale Accessory
Product Code: BARATZA-ESATTO-SCALE
|
|
It all boils down to weight, literally, with the Baratza Esatto Grinder Scale Accessory. Truly, if you desire consistency in your brew, whether it is French Press, drip, siphon, espresso, or many other methods, you must also be unwavering in your ingredients. The Baratza Esatto upgrades your Maestro Plus, Virtuoso, or Preciso grinders, and offers 3 programmable cycles that you can set to most any weight of your choosing. Grinding dosage accuracy is plus or minus 0.2 grams for any cycle paired with an individual fineness setting. The Esatto is designed to stop your grinder just before the programmed weight is reached, so the finished amount is spot on. This innovative precision will not only improve your ability to correctly brew large pots of coffee, but it will also take your espresso dosing skill up to the level of professional baristas. This is seriously a great leap forward because espresso is brutally unforgiving when it comes to consistency. A very simple upgrade to your Baratza grinder, the Esatto Scale adds about 1 inch to the overall height. Regular: $169.00
Sale: $149.00

- Q: What Baratza Grinders will the Esatto work with?
A: The Maestro Plus, Virtuoso, and Preciso (AKA Virtuoso Preciso).
- Q: Will the Esatto work with the Vario Grinder?
A: No, the regular Vario Grinder is not compatible with the Esatto. The new Vario-W grinder has a built-in scale.
- Q: Is it really necessary to grind by weight?
A: Absolutely. As with cooking, if you want any kind of consistency, you need to measure your ingredients. Take, for example, a filter basket for espresso. When you fill it and level the coffee grounds, it's full, but how much coffee is really in there? Depending on the roast, density of the bean, and even the "clumpiness" of the grind, you could be off by several grams each time you fill it. 2 grams out of 14 is over 14% and that makes a huge difference. 0.2 grams of variance allowed by the Esatto is 1.4% for a 14 gram double, and the world's best tasters would have difficulty discerning a difference.
- Q: Can the Baratza Esatto be used in a commercial environment with a compatible grinder?
A: Baratza does not exclude the Esatto from commercial use in its warranty, and all Baratza grinders are UL Std. 763-certified; however, the recommended daily use for the grinders is up to 2 pounds. This should be considered if your location has higher volume demands.
- Q: Is the Esatto easy to install with my compatible grinder?
A: Yes, simple directions are provided. You simply remove the rear portion of the top of the Esatto, the feet of your grinder, and tuck the power cord so that it fits well. The grinder plugs into the Esatto on the inside, and the top plate can be put back into place. A locking mechanism fits over the timer switch of the grinder. Both items, when assembled, will appear as one product.
- Q: Can I use my espresso portafilter with the Esatto?
A: No, the Esatto must be used with its included ground coffee bin. Portafilters come in different shapes, sizes, and weights and would significantly alter the accuracy of the scale.
