About Coffee Hit Ltd:

I started Coffee Hit in 2008, when I was always buying cool coffee gear from USA and Australia as it was not availble in the UK. I wanted great coffee for my customers and at home!
I wanted to help cafes and people make great coffee at home. I wanted to show people it didnt need to be expensive and great coffee can be fun and simple.

But if your like me you like to geek out a bit and we also have some really cool coffee brewing gear for my fellow coffee geeks.

We have the solutions for you to make great coffee at home or in the cafe.

Enjoy!
Paul, Owner

“Very happy with the Virtuoso+ for the money. I have a Vario and whilst that is no doubt better, the difference in grind quality is not huge. Build quality seems good, little bit of a fiddle to assemble (note read instructions first!) but all in all I'm very happy. All the parts look to be replaceable so I hope for long service! Excellent service from Coffee hit also.”

“Coming from a bodum barista grinder this was an instant improvement in my coffee. The grind is very uniform. Good build quality and simple to use. My coffee now tastes more complex. Delivery and packaging was great”

“Havering done quite a bit of research and reading up on reviews, I settled on the Baratza Virtuoso Plus. I'd previously owned a Krups Expert Burr Grinder which has flat rather than conical burrs but that machine went with my son's Rancilio Silva PV6 (very nice machine by the way). Day to day I normally make coffee in one of two Bialetti Hob units and, for special occasions an Alessi Neapolitan (designed by Riccardo Dalisi). I've still to experiment with different beans - I've been using Lavazza Ora initially - but so far the grind seems fine at between 8 and 10. Anyone who says this machine cannot grind fine enough must have assembled it incorrectly or they are doing something else wrong. At a setting of 8 or less, the grains are fine enough to escape into the coffee brewed in a Bialetti. Happy purchase!”

“Well my son gave me a book entitled Craft Coffee written by Jessica Easto for my birthday. A fascinating read about the complexities and challenges of producing the best cup of coffee in your own home.I was converted to taking coffee without sugar 6 years ago whilst visiting Starbucks in Seattle with my family.From that point on I have been able to taste coffee properly and can appreciate a really good cup compared to the taste number of mediocre ones. With perfect timing my hand grinder fell apart and after reading the chapter on grinding machines and the notion that you only live once I decided to go for the top of the range. I am utterly delighted. Not only is the design elegant and tactile but the machine is easy to use and the range of grinds perfect . We us it for our italian Bialetti espresso machine and a simple pour over coffee and plunge system. As you would expect the same beans produce different flavoured cups as the extraction process produces chemicals. It is expensive and will obviously be outside the pocket of most people but if you add up the overall cost of all the rubbish cups I've tasted worth every penny. May I finish by making a plug for the only beans we have used so far; S F BAY coffee Organic Rainforest Blend. The aroma you get from the bag is only matched by the product you get from this great machine. Interestingly though if I had not read the book I may well not have sourced this machine . I'll blame or rather thank my son for the best birthday present I've had in years!”

“...incredibly consistent. When you can set the length of time you need to produce fresh ground coffee from beans, then it becomes more about the quality of the espresso machine than it does the burr. The investment in the Baratza Virtuoso Plus was the perfect decision”

“I was drawn to the Barata Virtuoso + coffee grinder because it has such great reviews for pour over coffee and it is designed to be fixable by the user. Coffee Hit are official importers and offer full support so chose them to buy the grinder. It looks very smart in my kitchen and has provided us with some excellent pour over coffee. We experienced very clean coffee flavours which are miles better than any pre-ground coffee. It is easy to single-dose with this machine and we are very happy with our purchase. It feels heavy and looks like a quality product and we look forward to exploring the world of coffee with Our new grinder. Great service from Coffee Hit!!”

“Coffee Hit delivered my order very quickly. It was well packed. I purchased this Baratza Virtuoso Plus as an upgrade from my Encore model. The virtuoso is very good quality. The timer allows me to grind for a mild or strong brew and whats more the light enables you to see if I have the grind right. If it lasts as long as my encore it will have done well. That was purchased in 2015 and all it needs is replacement burrs and seal.”
