| Description | Variaβs most recent prosumer grinder is designed for coffee enthusiasts who demand precision and versatility. With its interchangeable burrs, variable speed motor and zero retention design, the Varia VS6 is a standout choice both for serious home brewers and professional baristas alike. Engineered with convenience and performance in mind, the VS6 delivers a superior grinding experience for various brewing methods. Versatility and Precision The Varia VS6 allows for an easy switch between the factory-fitted 58mm flat burrs and optional upgrade 63mm conical burrs, offering a worlds-first flexibility to suit different grinding needs. The internal adjustment system makes swapping burrs a breeze without the need for recalibration, ensuring consistent performance every time. With variable RPM control ranging from 500 to 1600 RPM, you can fine-tune the grinding speed to achieve the perfect grind distribution for your specific brewing method. Innovative Design and Functionality Equipped with active static ionisation needles, the VS6 reduces static in the chute and ensures a cleaner grind. The removable dosing chute and spring-loaded knocker also simplify the cleaning process and help dislodge any residual grounds. The grinder's 76.5-degree sloped architecture enhances its zero retention focus, minimising waste and maximising efficiency. Effortless Usability The VS6 is designed for ease of use with a multifunctional power ON/OFF button that also controls the RPM. The intuitive display shows the RPM in 100RPM increments, allowing for precise adjustments. Safety is prioritised with the automatic (magnetic) power cut-off system, which disables the motor when the hopper is removed. The removable lid and single dose feed collar add to the grinder's convenience, making it suitabβ¦ | The Comandante Grinder is one of the most well known and trusted coffee hand grinders on the market, handmade and assembled in Germany their team pay attention to every detail from the burr geometry to applying the wooden veneer and checking the grinders alignment.
