VARIO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the Vario+ coffee grinder! The 
Vario+ makes it easier than ever to make professional 
quality coffee at home.

The Vario+ is a compact, time-based grinder that is capable of grinding for 
a wide range of brew methods. The Vario+ has a small footprint, an intuitive 
control panel, and macro/micro adjustment levers for accurate grind adjustment.

The grinder is fitted with 54mm flat ceramic burrs. The replaceable ceramic burrs 

generally last around 10 years of standard home use.

The included PortaHolder allows for convenient grinding directly into a 

portafilter. It can be adjusted to fit various sizes of portafilters.
