Drinking four to five cups of coffee daily also lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes. Most coffee drinkers have a cup of coffee in the morning, with more than a few taking up to three or four cups throughout the day.

It is the best drink for whatever breakfast fare you are eating. To most people, breakfast will not be complete without a cup of coffee. During winter, a cup of coffee is your best friend. A cup of coffee after supper is the best way to warm up on a very cold winter night. If you do not want to drink alcoholic drinks in a social gathering, grab a cup of coffee to loosen you up, relax, and enjoy the gathering as you meet new people. Can Coffee also be Bad for You? There are no preset functions on this grinder. Whatever time you have set for the grinder at a given time will remain, until you turn the dial to change the grind time. The Virtuoso's motor keeps all of the beans from getting too hot, while the speed reducers and gearbox work to keep static buildup away. It also slows down the grinding process just enough to ensure that the grinding is smooth and accurate.

Right above the dial is the digital display making it easy to see the time as you set it. The digital timer can be adjusted between 1 to 40 seconds and 0.1 second increments.

The Virtuoso Plus comes with all of the same beloved features as the Baratza Virtuoso, including the 40 grind settings, the steel conical burrs, and the easy-to-use adjustable bean hopper. I have done some extensive testing of this grinder compared to other models on the market, but will save that evaluation for the full review for the Virtuoso+.

First, you’ll pull the body of the grinder out of the box. You’ll then take out the bean hopper and lid, which should both be wrapped loosely in plastic.

The conical burrs are steel and manufactured in Europe. The body of the Virtuoso's is a combination of plastic, metal, and steel.
