VARIA VS3 Grinder (2nd generation)

The Varia VS3 offers precise and stepless adjustment, operated by rotating the 30g hopper in the desired direction, achieving virtually infinite particle sizes giving you full access to experimenting with your brews. The Varia VS3 grinder is the best choice for every home barista.

COMPACT, POWERFUL WITH CONSTANT GRINDING WITHOUT RETENTION

The Varia VS3 offers stepless precision grinding adjustments using a fine pitch thread with a relative burr offset of 0.02 mm (20 microns) per adjustment increment. The stepless adjustment is operated by twisting the 30g hopper in the desired direction and can achieve virtually infinite particle sizes giving you full access to experimenting with your brews.

Varia created the VS3 grinder for optimal grinding that meets even the highest demands and is suitable for many brewing methods, from espresso to pour-over to French press. The Varia VS3 grinder is the best choice for every home barista.

Focus without retention
The Varia VS3 (Varia Stepless 38 mm) electric grinder uses an inclined geometry with an acute angle of 76.5°. Using this geometry also allows for ideal zero retention conditions as well as better workflow when it comes to adding coffee to the hopper, grind settings and 180° access to the measuring cup. Bleeding will not be necessary when grinding different coffees with less than 0.1 retention on a 10g dose.

A refined user experience
A minimalist approach to user experience allows expression through fine detail. Magnets built into the hopper lid securely connect it to the hopper and also connect the measuring cup to the base. Non-slip silicone feet are also installed on the base of the VS3 to keep it in place on your counter.

CNC machined space-grade aluminum alloy body
and all critical parts are CNC machined (computer numerical control machined) to precision tolerances of 0.02mm providing absolute precision and stability when setting up and grinding. The main axle and driveshaft are supported by P5 grade angular contact bearings to achieve the most consistent particle size results.
