Varia modular dosing cup – for the VS3 and 54/58 mm portafilters
You catch the freshly ground coffee, give it a quick tap and tip it into the portafilter without anything landing on the counter. The raised cup keeps the grounds together, especially with darker roasts that tend towards static.
Coffee Coaching Club is the official Swiss importer of Varia. You can buy the dosing cup from us online in Switzerland or pick it up in Bern or Zurich.
Features
A new approach to dosing with the VS3
The cup is deliberately built taller to reduce static blowback from dark-roasted coffees or coffees with more chaff. Purpose-built, interchangeable heads make the transfer from cup to portafilter easy and fit 54 mm and 58 mm baskets. You choose the size when ordering.
Matched to your VS3
The outside is powder-coated to match the VS3 colours, and the anodised heads match the grinder's lid and collar colours. A magnet connects the cup to the existing magnet in the VS3 base, and a soft-touch silicone base keeps it steady.

Who it's made for
The cup is matched to the grinders from Varia, but works with any grinder from our coffee grinders that you dose from into a cup. For the next step at the portafilter, tampers and distributors from the tamper collection are a good fit. For anyone who wants this affordable and precise: Normcore. If you want more: Weber Workshops. Add a machine from the coffee machines and fresh beans from our coffee roastery. Our advice tool shows which combination suits you. Our opinion is one of many.

Delivery throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein in 2 to 4 working days, Click and Collect in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b). If you have questions, reach us at [email protected] or by phone during business hours.
Frequently asked questions
Which size do I need, 54 or 58 mm?
That depends on your portafilter. Most machines use 58 mm, some more compact models 54 mm. Check the size of your portafilter.
Does the cup only work with the VS3?
The magnetic connection and the colours are matched to the VS3, but the cup can be used with any grinder.
What is the raised design good for?
It keeps the grounds together and reduces individual particles jumping out with statically charged, dark-roasted coffee.
Roastery tip: A quick spritz of water on the beans before grinding, the so-called RDT method, reduces static – so even less sticks in the cup. For everyday use we recommend our Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight. That's our recommendation, one of many.
