Recommended Equipment.
My original virtuoso finally gave out after 13 yrs of daily use, a few replacement burrs and a motor upgrade. This new unit is the virtuoso plus. I’ve used it now for several weeks and it is performing well. This works the same asthe original virtuoso.

Excellent for drip, moka and french press grinds.
This is our 3rd Baratza Virtuoso... the second one was another Virtouso +, like the one we just got.They have one Achiles Heel though... the burr grinder holder is plastic and it has a lifetime of about 10 years.

Great for typical brewing methods, Okay/decent for espresso IF you recalibrate
For french press, pour overs, aeropress, etc, this is a fantastic grinder.

Second Virtuoso+, Great Grinder
This replaced a Virtuoso+ I bought in 2019. That one gave me years of great service - 50 to 10 cups a day pretty much every day. I cleaned it monthly but, over time, the grinding became a little inconsistent. You can easily find replacement parts on the Baratza or other parts sites.
