Design-forward home brewing equipment company Varia Brewing has launched its first electric grinder, the Varia VS3.
Born in New Zealand, Ramsey Gyde currently splits his time between Hong Kong, where the company is registered, and Shanghai, where manufacturing and other operations take place. Gyde launched the company in 2019 under the leadership and mentorship of his father and co-founder Richard Gyde. Last year, the company's first product, a multi-method coffee brewing device called the Varia Brewer, won the Specialty Coffee Association's Best New Product of 2021 award.
ZERO FOCUS ON RETENTION
- The Varia VS3 Electric Grinder is built around a set of proprietary HRC58 38mm Hex Conical Grindstones that spin at a deliberate speed of 160rpm inside a die-cast, machined aluminum housing. It uses an oblique geometry with an acute angle of 76.5°. The use of this geometry also allows for ideal zero-holding conditions and a better workflow in relation to adding coffee to the hopper, making grind adjustments and 180° access to the dispensing cup.
- When grinding different types of coffee with a retention of less than 0.1 per 10 g, rinsing will not be necessary.
PRECISE CONTINUOUS GRINDING ADJUSTMENT
- Our smooth adjustment is controlled by turning the hopper in the desired direction. As a result of our seamless assembly, we can achieve virtually infinite particle size, giving you full access to experiment with your coffee preparation.
- Each movement of the grinding head represents a relative vertical movement of the grinding head by 20μm or 0.02mm per crank.
- Hopper capacity 30 g.
IMPROVED USER ENVIRONMENT
- A minimalistic approach to the user experience allows expression through fine details. We have integrated magnets into the lid of the hopper for connection with the hopper and into the base for connection with the dosing cup.
- Non-slip silicone feet are also installed on the VS3 base.
PRECISION CNC MACHINING
- Space-grade die-cast aluminum alloy body and all critical parts are CNC (Computer numerical control machined) machined with an accuracy of 0.02mm, which ensures absolute precision and stability when adjusting and grinding.
- The main axle and drive shaft are mounted in class P5 angular contact bearings to achieve the most uniform particle grinding results.
