Inside is the heart of a great grinder that can grind coffee beans for any style of coffee, whether it is an espresso machine, drip coffee maker, or press pot. The Maestro was originally introduced in 2001 with lots of innovative features. In March 2007, the Maestro was upgraded to include increased range of adjustment, an innovative calibration system, a new powerful DC motor and other improvements.German made conical burrsThe Maestro uses the same 40 mm conical burrs it has always used. Conical burr grinders are exceptional at producing consistent grindsfrom very fine to course. Grind Coffee for Any Brewing MethodThere are many coffee grinders on the market. However, few have theability to grind fine enough for a professional espresso machine andcourse enough for a press pot. The upgraded Maestro has 40 steps ofadjustment, up from 18 steps. Choose the perfect setting by turningthe bean hopper to the desired position.Innovative calibrationCommercial grinders have a calibration system to ensure that thegrinder will grind fine enough for espresso and has the range to grindcourse enough for a press pot.

- Premium Price Produces Poor Performance
- What a failed design. I never thought grinding my own coffee could bring so much despair and frustration, but truly it has. One must stand watch over this grinder as if it were a stubborn, disobedient child.
Imagine this: You've turned the timer knob as far as it allows. The grinder whirs loudly as few beans are ground. At first, you shake the… More reviews
- Hasn't worked well since it came out of the box :(
- My husband bought this for me about 4 years ago - and every time we have used it, regardless of the size or roast of the beans - it needs to be fiddled with and jiggled and have a spoon pushed down into the hopper in order for the beans to feed without jamming.
This takes anywhere from 3-5 minutes to get enough for a pot.… More reviews
- FATAL design problem
- THE GOOD: I have used the Solis Maestro daily for over a year. I've gained some serious experience with it.

- Solis Crema Maestro G 285, Excellent!

Another 30 days with my new $1000 machine that started to fail also. I finally realized the point of spending big on the grinded first. I popped only $250 for… More reviews
