| Description | The Varia VS3 (Varia Stepless 38mm) Electric Grinder features a refined user experience, CNC machined precision parts, a 76.5Β° acute angle geometry, and precision stepless grind adjustments. With its fine pitched burr thread and stepless adjustments, there is no need to purge the grinder between different grind settings or different coffees, due to the grind retention of less than 0.1g for a 10g dose. Experiment with grind size with the stepless adjustment system, with virtually endless particle size settings. Suitable for fine espresso grind through to pour over and cold brew, the Varia VS3 is perfect for commercial cafΓ© environments and the coffee-loving home user. Features: 76.5Β° Sloped Geometry - Zero Retention Focus: Using this geometry allows for ideal zero retention conditions, as well as a better workflow in relation to adding coffee to the hopper, making grind adjustments, and 180Β° access to the dosing cup.

Fine Pitched Thread With 0.02mm (20microns) Of Relative Burr Shift Per Increment - Precision Stepless Grind Adjustments: The stepless adjustment is operated by turning the hopper in the desired direction, achieving virtually endless particle sizes!
