The Varia VS3 Grinder is designed for coffee enthusiasts who want precise, consistent results for both espresso and filter brewing. It features a 48mm six core conical burr set with a 38mm inner diameter, made from durable high nitrogen 420 stainless steel with a hardness of HRC58 and a burr life of up to 150kg of coffee. Its stepless grind adjustment allows micro-level tweaks with a relative vertical burr shift of 10 microns (0.01mm) per increments, making it easy to dial in the perfect grind. Powered by a 100W DC motor with a stainless-steel gearbox, the VS3 operates smoothly and quietly, grinding an 18g dose in approximately 34 seconds for espresso at setting #4 or 25 seconds for filter coffee at setting #10. Despite its fast grinding speed, the grinder operates quietly. Its low retention design keeps grounds fresh, with retention below 0.1g for a 10g dose using RDT (Ross Droplet Technique) and below 0.2g without it. Built from strong ADC12 die cast and machined aluminium, the VS3 offers excellent durability and stability. As a single-dose grinder, it lets you grind only what you need, avoiding stale beans sitting in a hopper, while delivering grind consistency comparable to grinders at twice the price. For underdeveloped light roasted beans at espresso settings, feed beans slowly or use a slightly coarser setting to help protect the burrs.

Features:

• Stepless Adjustment for Unmatched Precision: The VS3 offers stepless grind adjustment, allowing for micro level tweaks with a relative vertical burr shift of just 10 microns (0.01mm) per increment. This flexibility ensures that you can dial in your grind size with precision, whether you're pulling shots of espresso or brewing a perfect pour over.
• Efficient, Quiet, and Consistent: Equipped with a powerful 100W DC motor, the VS3 grinds with a load speed of 170 RPM and uses a stainless steel gearbox for smooth, consistent operation. An 18g dose can be ground in 34 seconds for espresso at the #4 setting, or in 25 seconds for filter coffee at the #10 setting. Despite its speed, the grinder operates quietly.
• Minimal retention, maximum flavour: Designed for low retention, the VS3 ensures that your coffee stays fresh with every grind. With the use of RDT (Ross Droplet Technique), retention is less than 0.1g for a 10g dose, while without RDT it remains below 0.2g, keeping your grounds as fresh and uniform as possible.
• Built to last: The VS3’s body is constructed from ADC12 die cast and machined aluminum, providing strength, durability, and stability for daily use. This solid construction, combined with its robust motor and stainless steel burr set, ensures the grinder can handle even the most demanding brewing needs.
• Important note for light roasts: While the VS3 excels at grinding for both espresso and filter coffee, please exercise caution when using it for underdeveloped light roasted beans at espresso settings. These beans can be challenging to grind, so be sure to feed them slowly or adjust to a slightly coarser grind size to protect the burrs.
