Description
The Vario Coffee Grinder: Precision Engineered for Every Brew
Crafted for coffee enthusiasts who demand perfection, the Vario delivers unmatched performance with its 54mm commercial-grade ceramic flat burrs. Designed to outlast steel alternatives by twice as long while maintaining razor-sharp precision, these burrs ensure consistent grind quality across espresso and manual pour-over methods. With a broad grind range spanning from 230 to 1150 microns and minimal fines in the particle distribution, the Vario guarantees an even extraction every time—whether you’re chasing a velvety espresso shot or a rich French press brew.
Intuitive Digital Control Panel
The Vario’s front-mounted LED display simplifies operation with user-friendly programmability. Three customizable buttons let you set grind times as precise as 0.1 seconds (equivalent to 0.2 grams), ideal for baristas or home brewers seeking repeatable dosing accuracy. A single press of the START button activates automatic dosing, streamlining your workflow without compromising on precision.
Fine-Tune Your Grind Like a Pro
Adjustment has never been easier with dual macro and micro controls. The macro lever swiftly shifts between 10 distinct settings—from ultra-fine espresso to coarse press grinds—while the micro adjust dial divides each step into 20 ultra-precise increments. This dual system ensures you can dial in your ideal grind profile effortlessly for any brewing method.
Freshness-First Design
Designed to preserve flavor, the Vario minimizes residual grounds trapped in the chamber after each use. This means every brew starts fresh, maximizing aroma and taste for discerning palates.
Power Meets Quiet Performance
A robust high-torque DC motor drives the burrs at low speeds to reduce heat buildup and noise during operation. Perfect for home setups or commercial environments where quiet performance matters, it also supports extended grinding sessions without overheating thanks to its thermal protection circuitry.
Factory-Calibrated Reliability
Pre-calibrated at the factory for optimal accuracy, the Vario’s burrs can be recalibrated using an included tool if desired—ideal for those who prefer customizing their grind consistency over time.
Durability Redefined
The Vario now ships with a heavy-duty Metal PortaHolder as standard equipment, replacing its previous plastic design after customer feedback highlighted its superior stability and slip resistance during grinding. A traditional 8 oz grounds bin is also included for convenience.
Maintenance Made Simple
Cleaning is hassle-free: burrs detach easily without tools, saving time between uses and ensuring hygiene standards are met effortlessly.
