VARIO+ OPERATIONS MANUAL

CALIBRATION 

PORT

BURR CALIBRATION

The Vario+ factory calibration will accommodate a wide range of brew 
methods and calibration should not need to be adjusted out of the box 
for most brew methods. However, if the Vario+ is unable to grind finely 
enough or coarsely enough for a particular brew method at the finest 
and coarsest settings, respectively, follow the instructions below.

TO RECALIBRATE THE GRINDER TO FACTORY SETTINGS:

1.  Empty all beans from the grinder.
2.  Lower the micro 

(5)

 and macro 

(6)

 levers all the way to 

the bottom of the range.

3.  With the hopper and grounds bin 

(13)

 in place, press 

MANUAL 

(8)

, then START/STOP 

(7)

 and run the grinder 

long enough to expel any remaining coffee; when 
remaining coffee is expelled, press STOP/STOP.

4.  Remove the grounds bin and insert the calibration tool 

(11)

 into the round hole behind the discharge chute 

until the tool settles into the head of calibration screw 
inside.

5.  Press START/STOP to run the motor.
6.  With the motor running, move the macro arm up to 

setting 2 or until burr contact is heard, whichever 
comes first.

3

 If there was no burr contact sound when 

adjusting the macro lever, move the micro arm to Q or 
to the point at which the burrs make contact, whichever 
comes first.

7.  If the grind setting is at 2Q and the burrs are not in 

contact, use the calibration tool to turn the calibration 
screw toward the finer direction (as indicated on the 
tool) until a change in motor pitch is heard. This will 
bring the grinder back to factory calibration.
