Baratza Virtuoso anyone?

[kingsrook]

I feel like an imposter lurking at this site since I only drink drip, albeit from a Chemex, but I am very fussy about my grinder and need to upgrade. I'd like to buy the Rocky doserless but the children need to eat. The Viruoso is in the right $ range, but there have been very few reviews thus far. Has anyone had first hand experience with the Virtuoso?

If you think you're an imposter, you should see my Hamilton Beach espresso machine. It's easily 95% plastic. But with a Solis Maestro Plus, home-roasted beans and a PID temperature controller, I'm getting excellent espresso. Since the Baratza Virtuoso is essentially a refined Maestro Plus, I expect that it would be fine for a Chemex Drip. I use the Maestro Plus for espresso, drip and moka pot.

Thanks Steve for your advice. In the meantime, I've discovered current threads about the Virtuoso at Coffeegeek.Static continues to be the big problem with that grinder. Very impressed with what you've done to your Hamilton Beach! thanks for responding.
