Baratza was established in 1999. The owners were awarded a number of US and foreign patents for innovations while the knowledge and passion for coffee drive Baratza to bring high quality coffee equipment for home.
 
Initially, Baratza was the importer of Solis coffee/espresso machines and coffee grinders. Seeing ways to improve the Solis grinders, as of 2001 Baratza developed their first grinder, the Maestro. Then additional improvements came up by 2003 introducing the Baratza Maestro Plus grinder. By 2005 the all new Baratza Virtuoso grinder was introduced setting a higher standard for home grinders.    
 
Today, Baratza has introduced their latest flagship grinder, their most innovative coffee grinder yet - Baratza Vario Grinder.
