Varia VS3 2nd Gen Espresso Filter Grinder Black
Varia VS3 Gen 2 Espresso and Filter Electric Grinder White
Varia VS3 Espresso & Filter Electric Coffee Grinder
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.
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.

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.
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).
The grinder can hold up to 30 g of coffee beans.
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.
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.
The outer burr has notches for manual removal, so you can lift it out by hand and brush it clean. The grinder has anti-static design elements and comes with a cleaning brush and silicone bellows for the hopper.
The maximum recommended continuous grind time is 60 seconds, followed by 90 seconds of rest.
The grinder has a new motor construction with a stainless steel gearbox, which further reduces the noise level during operation. It is considered a quiet grinder compared to others on the market.
The burr material hardness is HRC58, with a burr life expectancy of 150 kg. The burr construction material is high-nitrogen 420 stainless steel. The grinder has a robust housing made of full metal ADC12 die-cast and machined aluminium.
The grinder's dimensions are 147 × 90 × 310 mm, and it weighs 3.5 kg.
