Plowshares Coffee Roasters

A beautifully crafted coffee grinder that produces the perfect grind for any type of coffee. The Maestro is designed and assembled in the USA, and has a lot of innovative and versatile features built in, including a list of unique features most requested by some of America's most respected coffee experts.

The Maestro conical burr grinder will grind for any style of coffee; from the fine grind used for espresso to coarse grind used for coffee press. The innovative calibration system enables a standardized range of adjustment, so each grinder has an accurate and repeatable range of grind. Forty grind settings give the user the range, as well as the ability to fine tune the grind for the perfect extraction.

A new 240 watt DC motor is twice as powerful as the Maestro's original AC motor. The more powerful motor runs cooler, allowing for extended grinding times. Using a combination of gear and electronic speed reducers, the burr rotates at only 450 RPM. This slow speed reduces heat, noise, and static electrical charge buildup in the grinder. This slow rotation speed also ensures that the beans feed smoothly into the burrs. The Maestro is equipped with a specially designed On/Off switch. The switch may be rotated clockwise from any position.
