FEATURES
BURRS
The steel burrs of the Vario W+ are dedicated to grinding for all brew methods including espresso through manual brew and beyond.
They have been designed to enhance the flavor in the cup with a broad range of grind range (230 microns to 1150 microns) and a narrow particle distribution (lack of fines), the hallmarks of the superiority with the Vario
Series steel burrs.
DIGITAL CONTROL PANEL
The front-mounted control panel with
LED display is easy and intuitive. Three programmable buttons allow the user to program in the desired weight (+/- 0.1). Simply press the START button and the Vario W+ automatically delivers precise dosing.
GRIND ADJUSTMENT
The Vario W+ offers macro and micro adjust for fine tuning with ease. The macro adjust moves from fine to coarse grinding in 10 distinct and repeatable settings. A secondary micro adjust arm further divides each of the 10 macro steps into 22 distinct settings. These steps enable you to dial in the exact grind for the perfect shot.
GRINDS LEFT IN GRINDER
To maximize freshness, the Vario W+ minimizes the ground coffee left in the grinder.
BREWING METHODS
The Vario W+ is exceptional for espresso and manual brewing methods. When grinding for espresso it is recommended to keep coffee in the hopper; we do not recommend singledosing for espresso though single-dosing is fine for all other brew methods with grind sizes above the espresso range!
MOTOR
A powerful, high torque DC motor effortlessly drives the burrs. This motor turns slowly resulting in cool, quiet operation and permits long grinding duty-cycles. The circuitry is equipped with an automatically resetting, thermal cutoff switch.
HOPPER
The hopper holds approximately 300g of coffee.
An innovative bean shutoff feature in the collar permits no-mess, no-fuss hopper removal for changing out beans. Bean “waste” (below the stopper) averages a surprisingly low 10g, once the hopper has been shut off (all weights are bean density dependent).
CALIBRATION
The Vario W+ is calibrated at the factory to ensure an accurate range of grind. If necessary, the Vario W+ burrs can be easily calibrated using the special calibration tool that comes with the grinder.
CLEANING
The included burr removal tool makes it easy to access the grind chamber and tidy up under the hood.
ACCESSORIES
HOPPER EXTENDER
(SOLD SEPARATELY)
An extension that can add 275g of capacity to the existing bean hopper. Several extenders can be added to get to the capacity you need.
CERAMIC BURRS
(SOLD SEPARATELY)
54mm flat ceramic burrs are available top customize the Vario W+. Both steel and ceramic burrs work great for all brew methods, but we understand that taste is subjective! If you prefer ceramic burrs, they are available for purchase in our parts shop!
