Baratza have at least 3 variants of motor used in the Vario… and 120V/230V versions of each:
* PN: 1036 / 1037 D-shaft motor * PN: 1058? / ?? Helical shaft motor * PN: 6026 / 6027 Hybrid shaft motor
There’s also two styles of motor enclosure used:
It looks great and has a lot of solid features like dosed shot buttons, pour timer, pressure gauge, PID adjustable temperature control, quick warmup, strong steam and a full size (58mm) group head.
When the Torino first launched, it did not review well, on CS the response was generally quite brutal… Sunbeam trying to sell it for AUD$2000 put it up against a lot of big names in the industry and people in the know didn’t seem to think it matched up at all.
At work we needed to certify a BLE device recently. We had the legacy PTS dongle provided by Bluetooth SIG, however I found it only supports testing devices up the BLE 4.2
So we need a new BLE Dongle - they now only support the Laird Connectivity | 451-00004
This is normally stocked by all the online electronics distributers; element14, digikey, mouser, arrow etc. Unfortunately it was out of stock on all of them, for about 4 months.
I’ve had my Torino for about a year now. I read the reviews talking it down before I bought it but didn’t have the bench space for a BDB. I also got it for about AUD 1K, much less than the original RRP. For the price I think it’s the best looking machine that has all the conveniences like dosed shot buttons, pour timer, quick startup etc.
