Varia AURA Smart Kettle 1.5L – Kettle with PID Control and High-Flow Spout
Guests for brunch. You need coffee for four, matcha for two, and hot water for tea. The AURA 1.5L is on the counter, the OLED display shows 94 °C, and you pour the first French Press. Back on the base – the memory function maintains the temperature. Second pot, third pot, then down to 76 °C for matcha. One and a half liters are enough, without refilling in between.
Coffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer of Varia. The AURA 1.5L is available in black and white.
What differentiates the 1.5L from the 0.8L
The central difference besides capacity is the spout. Where the AURA 0.8L has a gooseneck spout for precise pour-over, the 1.5L version offers a high-flow spout with stepless flow control in three stages (Low, Medium, High). This allows for slow and fast pours and is suitable for a wider range: cupping, French Press, tea, Americano, or simply as a kitchen kettle with temperature control. The lid is made of plastic with a stainless steel interior, the total weight is 1.39 kg – despite almost double the capacity, it is only slightly heavier than the 0.8L.
What the AURA offers
The PID control keeps the set temperature stable between 40 and 100 °C in 1 °C increments. The 1200W Strix element brings 500 ml to temperature in about three minutes, the memory function holds it for up to 90 minutes, and Smart Wake-Up can be programmed for a specific time. The OLED display shows temperature and progress in real-time, operated via a multifunction rotary knob. Dry-boil protection and automatic shut-off when lifted are integrated.

Who the AURA 1.5L is for
The 1.5L is suitable for anyone who needs more volume than the 0.8L offers: cupping, French Press, larger pour-overs like Chemex for multiple cups, matcha at 75 to 77 °C for the whole group, or as a versatile kitchen kettle. The high-flow spout is deliberately wider than a gooseneck. If you mainly do single-cup pour-over with V60 and need maximum pouring control, the AURA 0.8L Gooseneck is a better choice.
Good to know
Press the button before lifting the kettle from the base – otherwise, the device will restart when put back. When fully filled, the empty weight and water amount to almost 3 kg, which is noticeable when handling. For very slow, precise V60 pours, the finer stream of the 0.8L is the better choice.
What pairs well with it
As an addition for precise pour-over, the AURA 0.8L Gooseneck, for weighing the Normcore scales or the Acaia scales, plus grinders and brewers from the Varia Collection and freshly roasted beans from our coffee roastery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the 1.5L differ from the 0.8L?
Larger capacity and a high-flow spout with flow control instead of the gooseneck. The 1.5L is more versatile for French Press, cupping, and larger quantities, the 0.8L is more precise for single-cup pour-over.
Is the high-flow spout also suitable for pour-over?
Yes, thanks to the three flow stages, slower pours are also possible. For maximum control with V60 single cup, the gooseneck of the 0.8L is finer.
What voltage does the Swiss version have?
220/240 V. The Swiss version is stored in our shop.
Can I see the AURA before buying?
We carry Varia products in our showrooms in Bern and Zurich. Please contact us briefly in advance to ensure the kettle is on site.
Roastery Tip
The 1.5L is the kettle for mornings when you need more than one cup. French Press with our Cozy Chocolate at 94 °C, coarse grind, four minutes – the chocolate comes out rich and round. Chemex with the Nutty Delight at 93 °C, slightly finer grind – nutty and clear. The memory function keeps the temperature stable between infusions. This is our recommendation, one of many.
