Description

I am a great friend of the Varia VS3 coffee grinder!

For an optimal result, I always moisten my beans with 1-2 sprays of distilled water before grinding.

Unfortunately, this makes them a bit "sticky" and they often don't fall completely into the grinder. The enclosed bellows can usually press them down, but then the whole workplace around the grinder gets dirty :D

So here I have a small solution that gets all the beans into the grinder without you having to do anything or make your workplace dirty afterwards.

Optionally, there is the funnel as an insertion aid :)

Have fun with it!

Small Disclaimer:
I noticed that the nut can loosen itself due to this attatchment if it is not screwed in place tight enough. So I would recommend to check that from time to time to avoid getting a uneven grinding result :) (My screw was a little loose after 1 Jear of daily use).

My workflow:

Remove cap.
Moisten and insert beans.
Start the machine.
Remove funnel (beans should all be in the Varia container).
Put the cap back on.
Let the beans run through and continue to run empty for a few seconds.

5 Stars with TPU (sorry my printer isn't connected to the internet) I printed it for a friend. First with PETG, but he wasn't quite happy with that, so I tried again with TPU. Works perfectly without any residue in the grinder, awesome!

Nice 😀 If he uses it on the long run I would recommend some loctite on the nut.

Replying to @MeisterEdel :

Thanks for the hint. Right now he has no problems with it, maybe the surface of the TPU help with that, but yes, I think he will use it in the long run.

Replying to @dubios :

yes a little amount of thread locker will give extra security and the nut will not come loose and ruin the last shot xD But I did have no problems for many months too without it too ,-) So have fun!

It worked great on my VS3! Loving it so far! Could you make one that isn't as snug on the sides? It makes a whistle noise sometimes from it rubbing the sides. And I'm afraid it might scratch up the insides after long use.

@MeisterEdel

hey :) My version does not make that sound. But I have sth. for you that might solve that problem. You could heat the "arms" up with a lighter (carefully) and then just moove them a tiny amount until they don't scratch any longer. Or you can scale the model down a little bit if it is not too tight on the nut. Also I noticed yesturday that the nut can loosen itself due to this attatchment if it is not screwed in place enough. So I would recommend to check that from time to time too.
