Varia VS6 Grinder – Black, Precision Coffee Grinding
- Fast worldwide shipping
- Secure Payments
Turn the dial, change the cup. The Varia VS6 is Varia's flagship single-dose grinder, here in black: factory-fitted 58 mm flat burrs, a 300 W brushless motor and speed control from 500 to 1600 RPM, so you can steer body, sweetness and acidity for espresso and filter alike. It's all metal, no plastic, and arrives in its own hard case.
Highlights
- RPM you can taste – Set the motor anywhere from 500 to 1600 RPM on the rotary dial and read it on the LED display. Slower speeds tend to give more body, faster speeds more brightness.
- Flat burrs as standard, conical when you fancy – Ships with 58 mm stainless steel Supernova flat burrs. Swap in the optional 63 mm conical set or other Varia burrs later (sold separately).
- Fine-tuning down to 5 microns – Stepless adjustment from 0 to 60 in 5-micron steps, with a hopper revolution counter so you always know where you are.
- Clean, static-free dosing – Active ionisation needles fight static, and the removable dosing tube with a spring-loaded knocker clears out leftover grounds.
- Built like a safe – All-metal construction with no plastic parts, 10.7 kg, and an automatic power cut-off after 10 seconds idle.
- Travels in style – A TSU-1 resin hard case with custom EPE + EVA foam, locking latches and a swivel handle, plus a canvas dust bag.
Our take: what we found when we played with the RPM
In our own Journal review we ground the same coffee through the flat burrs at 500, 1100 and 1600 RPM. 500 RPM gave a mellow, low-acidity cup with a creamy body; 1100 RPM brought higher acidity and pronounced sweetness with a thinner body; 1600 RPM landed balanced, with a structured body and a long aftertaste. Same beans, three different coffees.
Good to know before you buy: the VS6 only takes Varia's own burrs, the 35 g catch cup is small for big batch brews, and a quick tidy after grinding is part of the routine.
As Varia's distributor in Europe we handle warranty and service here in Europe, and we're happy to help you pick a burr set.

FAQ
Varia VS6 or VS4?
Choose the VS6 for flat burrs, swappable burr sets and a wider 500–1600 RPM range. Choose the VS4 for a smaller conical-burr grinder at a lower price.
Flat or conical burrs: which is better?
Neither is 'better' – they taste different. The VS6 lets you try both: it ships with flat burrs and takes an optional 63 mm conical set.
Can I fit the 63 mm conical burrs myself?
Yes, the VS6 is designed for interchangeable burrs; the conical set is sold separately.
Is the VS6 good for espresso?
Yes. The 35 g dosing cup fits a 58 mm portafilter, and the 5-micron steps make espresso dial-in precise.
