Introduction

◯ Points of this product

  • Stepless grinding from espresso to cold brew coffee
  • Zero leftover beans
  • Compact and powerful
  • Surprisingly quiet and smooth grinding time

Stepless grinding from espresso to cold brew coffee

The grind size can be adjusted continuously using the hopper on the top of the main unit.

It can handle any type of coffee, from very fine to coarse grinds, so with just this one machine you can cover all your home coffee needs.

Please use a grind size larger than "+1" as this may cause clogging.

Zero leftover beans

The design allows the ground beans to fall almost directly into the cup below, minimizing the amount of beans remaining in the machine (use the included bellows).

Even if you grind 10g of coffee beans, less than 0.1g remains in the machine! (According to the manufacturer)

You can make coffee economically and without waste.

*When grinding more coffee beans than the hopper capacity allows, please use the included bellows or brush each time to make sure the ground beans fall smoothly into the cup.

Compact and powerful

With a height of 31cm and a width of just 9cm, the unit looks great in any kitchen or setting and doesn't take up much space.

Surprisingly quiet and smooth grinding time

When in operation, it does not make any loud noises like conventional electric coffee grinders, making your morning coffee very comfortable.

It also takes just 15 seconds to grind one serving of coffee beans (about 15g for paper drip), so there's no stress.

User testimonials

Q: Why did you start using it?

I saw it at SCAJ and was intrigued, so I purchased it to test it in both Japan and Australia.

Q: Please tell us your honest thoughts after using it!

First of all, I was surprised by the quiet motor sound! I had the impression that even home grinders would make a certain amount of noise, but I feel that the Varia is the quietest of all the home grinders I have used. Also, it's smart and doesn't take up much space, so you can place it anywhere, which I think is an important point for a home grinder.

Q: Who would you recommend this to?

Our customers often ask us questions about grinders, and I get the impression that many of them think that when they see relatively expensive grinders, "That must be a machine for professionals." Of course, if you're interested in coffee and want to get a complete set of brewing equipment, it's a good idea to start by purchasing a reasonable grinder, but for anyone who wants to drink more delicious coffee at home or wants to stabilize the quality of the coffee they drink at home, I would like to recommend this Varia.
I think this is a grinder that I can recommend to anyone who just wants to enjoy coffee, regardless of their experience or knowledge!

Varia VS3 Grinder (2nd Generation)

I find it very useful because I can easily change the grind size depending on the roast level of the coffee beans!

of
Nomura

I bought this as I was tired of grinding light roast coffee with a manual grinder.
I've been using Timemore C3 until now, but in comparison, the taste seems a little clearer.
I'm very happy that it seems to be closer to the taste of coffee served in a shop.
I think the noise is much quieter than Mirukko and others.
I don't think the grinding speed is that fast, but since it's not for commercial use, it doesn't bother me.

Very good

This is a very good conical grinder and it is very quiet.
I was wondering whether to make it white or black, but I decided on black.
I thought it would have been better if it was silver.
The stroke is still in trial and error.

Just a coffee lover
Try using Varia VS3

Before using this product, I used an inexpensive hand grinding mill. The moment the vs3 ground the coffee beans, the aroma spread, and I couldn't stop grinning as I looked forward to brewing. I always use a paper drip to make coffee, but being able to drink coffee of this quality at home makes coffee even more enjoyable. It's easy to maintain, so you can keep it clean. I plan to continue using it and enjoying coffee.

Dark roast
Exceeds expectations

Before purchasing, I watched a lot of review videos and articles, and I was impressed with the quality, which exceeded my expectations!
Above all, I'm impressed that it grinds espresso automatically, as I've been using a band grinder until now.
