Meticulously engineered, this grinder doesn’t only offer a high level of performance but can also endure any environment, ensuring durability that stands the test of time.
The precision-focused design also extends to the EVO Hybrid’s micro-stepped adjustment, providing over 140 steps of precision at 10 microns each which lets you fine-tune your grind with ease. Transition seamlessly between manual crank and power modes, thanks to the dual ball bearing drive assembly that ensures an ultra-smooth grinding experience.
Supernova VS3 Burrs

As a recent purchaser of a VS3, I wish I knew about this before I bought a different hand grinder last year for camping. Great to know the Varia quality transfers through the range. My wallet could be in danger..

I love the idea of having a portable automatic grinder like this. The grinding is quite slow but honestly it gives you time to gather and prepare your brewing stuff instead of being stuck manually grinding for 40-50 seconds. And just be able to take it with you anywhere and have a standard USB-C for charging, absolutely stellar :)

As always, thanks for the great review. I have purchased the Millab EV01 grinder on indiegogo, so I await its arrival and your comparison. This one obviously has no issues grinding for Espresso, but the torque and battery on the Millab appear better in the information available to us purchasers. Let’s hope the Millab is equally as good for espresso.

Definitely think this thing is pretty cool! If you are on a bit of a strange budget I can see how this is absolutely the one and only grinder you would want. However it's a bit big to like take into work (compared to the Timemore Nano S or something) imo. I don't think I would actually take anywhere realistically. I would either want to take something smaller, or just bite the bullet and take like a Lagom Mini or VS3. Anyway, great video, and a really cool product. Love to see Varia take a shot at something like this.

nice and portable. Be a fun pair with outin nano + the new steel machine basket plus (decent steel basket for outin). though then the hilarity of price differences. but still be a nice small pack for a travel bag

Interesting flavor results. Usually slowest & least heat tastes best. Did you try RDT for the static?

Would like to see the Flair's Power Tower compared to this. That one has 120 rpm and can be used on battery for one hour or become as an electric grinder

Hey Josh, I was going to pickup a Knock Aergrind for travelling with my aeropress, but you're out of stock. Do you expect it back in soon? Or would you recommend something else that would pair well with the aeropress?

@anthonytomlinson3311 2 ай бұрын

I use the 1Zpresso Q2 for travel with my aeropress. It fits inside the aeropress which is convenient and it makes great coffee

@AlternativeBrewing How does it compare to the Goat Story ARCO?

@euclideanspace2573 2 ай бұрын

I wonder if the motor can be purchased as a standalone, and how this compares to 1Zpresso's lineup, mainly the K-Ultra.

@AlternativeBrewing 2 ай бұрын

In AUS you cannot purchase the motor separately. You can buy the grinder without the motor though. I compare it with the K-Ultra in the video FWIW 😊

Hi Joshy Does the vs3 has the stock supernova burrs?

@AlternativeBrewing 2 ай бұрын

Haha ! Yes it did. I triple checked that for sure - as I would naturally have the HN Ultra Burrs installed.

@wakeawaken430 2 ай бұрын

@@AlternativeBrewing it's difficult in Europe to get this grinder As I want to the HN ultra burrs, maybe I should get first the stock burrs and then order the upgraded one

An important part of a review is stating if you bought the grinder or were given it. If you were given it were there any conditions?

@AlternativeBrewing 2 ай бұрын

no conditions. If you're new to viewing this channel - then I can understand the confusion and concern - this comes up occasionally 🫶 The method of my review is to show how it works, describe it's benefits and test them, and present it's common flaws that should be considered. I do not venture in to a product review simply to attack its merit, rather follow a line of investigation in to who the product would be best suited for - and does it do what the marketing around it suggests it can do.

@GabrielGGabGattringer 2 ай бұрын

So, 40W 80 RPM aren´t enough to be faster than grinding by hand? Sorry but where is the benefit of a motorized grinder then?

@nikolasgavriel2460 2 ай бұрын

People who don't have full ambulant use of their hands perhaps?

@AlternativeBrewing 2 ай бұрын

So, to the best of my investigation - we can only generate a maximum of around 50W in this way of grinding beans. RPM can be much quicker though yes, upwards of 200 RPM. At the finer grind settings I'd be more happy to allow the Motor to do all the work 👌
