With improvements to both the motor and burr chamber, the second generation of the Varia VS3, still boasts precision stepless grind adjustments using a fine pitched thread with 0.02mm (20 microns) of relative burr shift per adjustment increment. The stepless adjustment is operated by turning the 30g hopper in the desired direction and can achieve virtually endless particle sizes giving you full access to experimenting with your brews.
Varia created the VS3 Grinder for optimal grinding that meets even the highest demands and is suitable for many preparation methods, from espresso to pour-over to French press. The Varia VS3 Grinder is the best choice for every home barista.
Zero Retention Focus
The Varia VS3 (Varia Stepless 38mm) Electric Grinder utilises a sloped geometry with a 76.5° acute angle. Using this geometry also allows for ideal zero retention conditions as well as a better workflow in relation to adding coffee to the hopper, making grind adjustments, and 180° access to the dosing cup. Purging will not be necessary when grinding different coffees with a retention of less than 0.1 over a 10g dose.A Refined User Experience
A minimalistic approach to the user experience allows for an expression through fine details. Integrated magnets in the hopper lid securely connect it with the hopper as well connecting the dosing cupto the base. Non slip silicone feet are also installed on the base of the VS3 to keep it secure to your counter.CNC Machined Precision
Die-cast space-grade aluminium alloy body and all critical parts are CNC machined (Computer numerical control machined) to 0.02mm precision tolerances providing absolute accuracy and stability when making adjustments and grinding. The main axle and driveshaft is supported by P5-grade angular contact bearings to achieve the most uniform particle size results.VS3 2nd Generation Motor
New motor construction with full stainless steel gearbox construction. 190RPM grind speed ensuring speed for espresso and filter settings. Uncompromised consistency and precision.Improved Burr Chamber Assembly and Central Alignment
Improved burr chamber assembly for ultimate alignment and concentricity of the driveshaft and burr set resulting in extreme consistency and precision. Unique to the VS3 the driveshaft is machined to a 0.015mm tolerance. All other critical parts machined to 0.02mm making for high accuracy and consistency. P5 class double layer ball bearings for smooth, stable and precise movement. Hard chamber premium springs for stability an damping of the burr under resistance load. Decreased vibrations and movements of the internal parts increasing consistency. -

Reviews
I've been using the VS3 for a few months now and it excels at filter and espresso. Its stepless so that really helps me dial in the flavor I want.
This little grinder is a great entry into the self-grinding scene. It's easy to disassemble and clean, simple to use and has some nice touches like a magnetic cup, included glass spray bottle and brush, and minimalistic style.
This machine has been praised in other reviews for being quieter - I'm not sure how loud other machines are but the Varia VS3 still has a high pitched whine and lower growl when grinding but grinding only takes 5 or so seconds and it's no louder than a small blender. Another criticism is that this machine has a power cord with adaptor that is quite large compared to the grinder itself but until we go wireless, I suppose this is unavoidable.
Grind size is easy to select with the rotating dial. Some other complaints I've seen are static problems and hopper complaints. I've sprayed the beans prior to grinding from day 1 and have not had problems with static/dust collection and the hopper has a lid - I've yet to have beans get stuck or pop out when using.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this beautiful little grinder!
I wanted one grinder for both espresso and filter coffee brewing, and the Varia VS3 exceeded my expectations for both! Very easy to use and dial in with. Best is its ability to be used as a single dose grinder so I can have different coffees and grind settings throughout the day with almost no retention. Planning to upgrade the burrs set when they are back in stock for an even better tasting experience.
I'd done my research and decided on the Varia
Couldn't be happier
Grinds coffee beans for a great shot of espresso
Stepless adjustment
And, so far, only needed 2-3 adjustments before my shot is dialed in
A fine grinder!
It's been a great grinder for me-upgraded from the Breville Barista Express and it is much quieter, more consistent, and allows for much more precision with stepless adjustment. Definitely an "end-game" grinder for most people. Varia does a great job. This is the best price I could find for this grinder as well. If you can spend the extra money above the Baratza Encore or Fellow Opus it is worth it in my opinion.
