Hypernova Ultra Plasma Titanium Burrs for the Varia VS3
You're looking to extract the ultimate level of definition from your VS3 – particularly with bright single-origins, where the line between vibrant fruit and sharp edges is razor-thin. That's precisely what the Hypernova Ultra set is designed for: titanium-coated burrs with updated pre-crushing geometry that work finely and consistently.
Coffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer of Varia products. We stock burrs and spare parts.
What sets the Ultra set apart
The base is 440-grade stainless steel with a double titanium coating on the cutting edges. In an additional step, the burrs are polished at the micrometer level to remove the finest irregularities. The result: medium body, high flavor definition, clear acidity, and a balanced profile.
The revised pre-crushing geometry ensures a shorter grinding time and a more consistent particle size. The coating keeps the cutting edges sharp and heat-resistant for longer, so the burr stays cooler during grinding – contributing to clarity and sweetness in the cup.

Who the Ultra set is for
The Ultra set is particularly worthwhile for anyone who works extensively with light and medium-light roasts for espresso and encounters the limitations of standard burrs. Those who primarily pull classic dark espressos will be well served by the Supernova or Hypernova burrs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What distinguishes Ultra from the standard Hypernova burrs?
The Ultra set has a double titanium coating and revised pre-crushing geometry. This leads to shorter grinding times, more consistency, and higher flavor definition, especially with light roasts.
Does the Ultra set fit every VS3?
Yes, all generations of the Varia VS3. The change is easily done in a few minutes with minimal tools; after that, recalibrate the grind setting.
Is Ultra also worthwhile for dark roasts?
The advantage is particularly evident with light and medium-light roasts. For classic dark espressos, the Supernova or Hypernova burrs are sufficient.
Do I need to recalibrate after changing?
Yes, that's part of it. Plan for one to two test shots until the grind setting is correct again.
Roastery Tip
The Ultra set demonstrates its strength with light beans. After the change, pull a few shots with a light single-origin and gradually adjust the grind setting in small steps – the finer, more consistent grind will shift your usual sweet spot slightly. This is our recommendation, one of many.
