Varia VS3 38mm Burrs – Gen 2 / Supernova Gold Titanium

The Varia VS3 38mm Grinder Burrs are engineered to deliver precision, consistency, and versatility for espresso and filter brewing. Featuring 38mm 6-core conical burrs, the standard set is made from high-nitrogen 420 stainless steel — durable, reliable, and capable of producing excellent results across a range of grind sizes. However, for those seeking elevated performance, Varia offers upgraded burrs such as the Supernova, Hypernova, and Hypernova Ultra series, each designed to match specific grinding preferences and coffee styles.

Supernova Burrs

Crafted from 420 stainless steel and coated with titanium, the Supernova burrs are optimised for espresso grinds. The titanium coating enhances hardness to HRC60, sharpness, and heat resistance. Compared to standard burrs, they produce improved particle distribution and a balanced flavour profile with medium body and clarity. Available in Black Titanium and Gold Titanium finishes.

Hypernova Burrs

Made from 440 stainless steel with a titanium coating, the Hypernova burrs are engineered for both filter and espresso grinding. These burrs offer superior hardness, sharper edges, and greater heat resistance, ensuring consistent particle size and clean flavour extraction. Delivering a balanced profile with medium body and clarity, they are available in a stunning Iridescent Titanium finish.

Replacement Supernova Stainless Steel Burrs

The Replacement Supernova Stainless Steel Burrs are crafted from high-nitrogen 420 stainless steel — the same as the original Varia VS3 set. They perform exceptionally well for both espresso and filter brewing and are built to withstand long-term use with reliable durability.

Hypernova Ultra Burrs

Designed for espresso enthusiasts, the Hypernova Ultra burrs feature 440 stainless steel construction with an edge hardness of HRC65, further enhanced to HRC67 through micron-level polishing and dual titanium and thermal plasma coatings. This advanced engineering ensures ultra-fine particle distribution, exceptional clarity, and rich, balanced flavour — ideal for those seeking the ultimate espresso experience.

Hypernova Ultra-S Burrs

The Hypernova Ultra-S burrs feature refined geometry for improved performance with lighter and denser roasts. Designed for faster grinding and tighter particle distribution, they excel in espresso precision while maintaining clarity and sweetness across medium to medium-light roasts. Built from 440 stainless steel with dual coating and a polished finish, these burrs reach an impressive HRC67 hardness rating.

* Please note: GEN 1 burrs are compatible with GEN 1 units only. GEN 2 burrs are compatible with both GEN 1 and GEN 2 units.
