Varia VS3 2nd Gen Espresso Filter Grinder Black
- Fast worldwide shipping
- Secure Payments
Small on the counter, serious in the cup. The Varia VS3 Gen 2 is a compact single-dose coffee grinder for espresso and filter, here in black. A stainless steel gearbox drives the burrs at a steady 170 RPM, a single-piece machined outer burr keeps alignment tight, and you dial in by simply turning the hopper, in 10-micron steps.
Highlights
- Espresso and filter from one little grinder – Stepless adjustment means no fixed clicks: every turn of the hopper shifts the burr by 10 microns (0.01 mm), from espresso-fine to pour-over.
- Almost nothing left behind – A steep 76.5° sloped geometry helps keep retention low.
- Aligned for consistency – The single-piece machined stainless steel outer burr keeps the burrs stable for an even particle distribution.
- Coffee only touches metal – Anti-static treated metal parts from hopper to dosing cup reduce mess and static.
- Small details that click – Magnets in the hopper lid and dosing cup, and non-slip silicone feet that keep it planted while grinding.
Our take: the easy way into single dosing
The VS3 is the grinder we point people to when they want great espresso and filter without a big footprint or a big learning curve.
We also keep VS3 spare parts such as motors, burr chambers and dosing cups, so your grinder can be repaired rather than replaced, and we're happy to help you choose a burr set.
Not for you if you want to change grinding speed (the VS3 runs at a fixed 170 RPM) or grind bigger batches; look at the VS4 or VS6 instead.
VS3 Gen 2 vs VS4
- Varia VS3 Gen 2 (this one): compact, fixed 170 RPM, stepless 10-micron steps.
- Varia VS4: 53 mm conical burrs, variable 150–300 RPM, up to 2 g/s, 30–40 g hopper, approx. 5.27 kg.
