Overview
Varia VS3 Gen 2 Espresso and Filter Electric Grinder White is engineered for precision, consistency, and durability. With its updated motor construction and stainless steel gearbox, it delivers a stable grind speed of 170 RPM while maintaining exacting standards for espresso and filter brewing. Built-in over torque protection ensures reliable performance across diverse electrical environments.
The VS3 Gen 2 features advanced alignment with a machined 0.015mm tolerance driveshaft and premium P5 class ball bearings for smooth operation. Stability and precision are further enhanced by reinforced chamber springs that reduce vibration. Its die-cast space-grade aluminum body, CNC machined to 0.02mm tolerances, guarantees long-lasting accuracy.
Designed with user experience in mind, this grinder incorporates a zero retention focus with a 76.5° acute angle geometry. The result is less than 0.1g retention over a 10g dose, meaning no purging is required when switching between coffees. The anti-static treatment ensures minimal retention, while a magnetic dosing cup system improves workflow and reduces mess.
The Varia VS3 Gen 2 also offers stepless grind adjustment. By turning the 30g hopper, you can achieve virtually endless particle sizes, giving you full control over grind precision for espresso, filter, and light roast profiles.
Other thoughtful features include a single-piece stainless steel outer burr for consistent particle distribution, non-slip silicone feet for stability, and global compatibility with included DC adapter and AC power cord.
The Varia VS3 Gen 2 Espresso and Filter Electric Grinder White is a professional-grade tool that allows coffee lovers to unlock maximum flavor potential with every grind.

Frequently asked questions
Varia VS3 or VS4?
Choose the VS3 Gen 2 for a compact, simple single-dose grinder at a lower price. Choose the VS4 if you want adjustable speed and faster grinding.
Is the VS3 Gen 2 good for espresso and filter coffee?
Yes. The grinder's stepless adjustment feature allows you to control the grind size precisely for both espresso and filter coffee settings. Every turn of the hopper shifts the burr by 10 microns (0.01 mm).
How many beans does the hopper hold?
The grinder can hold up to 30 g of coffee beans.
How much coffee stays behind in the grinder?
Less than 0.1 g with RDT and less than 0.2 g without RDT, on a 10 g dose. The steep 76.5° sloped geometry helps keep retention low.
How consistent is the grind for espresso?
To ensure consistent particle distribution for espresso, the grinder has a single-piece stainless steel outer and inner burr. It also has an improved alignment and concentricity of the driveshaft and burr set for extreme consistency and precision.
How do I clean the burrs?
