About the Baratza Vario+
The Baratza Vario+ is an electric grinder with 54 mm flat burrs and stepped adjustment. At its coarsest it reaches about 720 µm, so Drip / Batch, Chemex, and Cold Drip sit partly beyond its range. Each click moves the grind by roughly 18 µm.
Methods the Baratza Vario+ covers
All 15 are worked out from this grinder's range and burr geometry. Its maker doesn't publish settings, and nobody has measured it that we can cite. Start there and adjust to taste.

Is the Baratza Vario+ a manual or electric grinder?
The Baratza Vario+ is an electric grinder with 54 mm flat burrs.
How much does each click change the grind on the Baratza Vario+?
Each click on the Baratza Vario+ changes the grind by about 18 microns, so you can dial in small steps.
What grind sizes can the Baratza Vario+ produce?
At its coarsest the Baratza Vario+ reaches about 720 µm, covering 15 of the brew methods we chart. Its finest setting isn't published, so we don't state one.
Can I copy grind settings from another grinder to the Baratza Vario+?
Not directly — every grinder's scale is arbitrary, so a number that works on one model won't match the Baratza Vario+. Match the micron range instead, using the chart above.
