Varia EVO Hybrid Grinder

Varia EVO Hybrid Espresso Grinder Grind on the go with the Varia EVO Hybrid coffee grinder. This variable hand and motor grinder features impressive build quality for its price point—built from space-grade aluminum alloys, it has a surprisingly wide range of grind settings, capable of handling just about any brew method a coffee enthusiast could want to use.  Features and Performance The Varia EVO Hybrid grinder allows you to choose between grinding by hand or using the 80 RPM motor head. Either way, the EVO is designed with precision in mind—it uses a 38mm stainless steel Supernova Burr set (the same technology and burr geometry as is found in Varia’s award-winning VS3 grinder) with 140 steps of grind adjustments at just 10 microns per step. That makes it capable of grinding for a wide variety of coffee preparations, from espresso to cold brew and everything in between.  The magnetically-attaching grounds chamber fits well into a standard 58mm portafilter basket for easy transfer when grinding for espresso, making the EVO one of the cleaner grinders we’ve seen. The grounds chamber fits up to 35 grams of whole beans at a time, so you can grind enough at once to prepare up to two cups of coffee.  The EVO is also built to last, made entirely from space-grade aluminum alloys and stainless steel and machined to a 0.02mm tolerance. The built-in auto-stop function prevents motor burn-out by stopping grinding when the chamber is empty or if the motor is being over-taxed. Why You Should Get It The EVO Hybrid would serve well as a high-performing home espresso grinder for someone on a budget for whom grinding speed is not paramount—this grinder is made for precision, not speed. It’s well-made, consistent, and perfectly capable of grinding enough for espresso or small-batch coffee brewing.  On the other hand, if you’ve gotten to the point where hotel coffee just won’t cut it for you, the Varia EVO Hybrid is perfect for grinding on the go—it’s small and easily packable. Paired with a portable brewing system (like Varia’s PRO brewer) you can use it to enjoy cafe-quality espresso—even when you’re not at home. What’s In the Box? The Varia EVO comes packed in a shockproof EVA carrying case for easy transportation with a cleaning brush. It’s available in white, black, or silver to match a variety of aesthetics.
