Maintenance
How to look after your VS6
A single dose grinder with flat burrs, such as the Eureka Mignon Zero, Timemore Sculptor or Fellow Ode, should be blown out after every grind and kept free of static to keep retention low. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Varia VS6
Turn the bean hopper clockwise to 0 to find the reference point. Never start the grinder in the tightest position, as this can damage the burrs.
Varia states that the flat burrs are good for about 250 kg of coffee before they should be replaced.
The grinder must be switched off during cleaning. Wipe the body with a damp, not wet, cloth so that no water gets in.
