Hypernova Ultra Plasma Titanium burrs for the Varia VS3
Getting the last degree of definition out of your VS3 – with light single origins, where the line between vivid fruit and a sharp edge is razor-thin – is exactly what the Hypernova Ultra set is built for: titanium-coated burrs with updated pre-crushing geometry that grind fine and even.
Coffee Coaching Club is an importer of Varia. We keep burrs and spare parts in stock.
What makes the Ultra set special
The base is 440 stainless steel with a double titanium coating on the cutting edges. In an additional step, the edges are polished at micrometre level to remove the finest irregularities. The result: medium body, high flavour definition, a clear acidity, and a balanced profile.
The reworked Pre-Crushing geometry means a shorter grind time and a more consistent particle size. The coating keeps the cutting edges sharp and heat-resistant for longer, so the burr stays cooler while grinding – which contributes to clarity and sweetness in the cup.

Who the Ultra set is for
The Ultra set pays off above all for anyone working a lot with light and medium-light roasts for espresso and hitting the limits of the standard burrs there. If you mainly pull classic dark espressos, the Supernova or Hypernova burrs still serve you well.
What goes with it
The set fits the Varia VS3. More burrs are available in the Varia Collection. For dialling in with light roasts, our Wild Peach is a good choice.

Frequently asked questions
What sets Ultra apart from the standard Hypernova burrs?
The Ultra set has a double titanium coating and a reworked pre-crushing geometry. That means shorter grind times, more consistency, and higher flavour definition, especially with light roasts.
Does the Ultra set fit every VS3?
Yes, it fits all generations of the Varia VS3. The swap takes just a few minutes with minimal tools; recalibrate the grind size afterwards.
Is Ultra worth it for dark roasts too?
The advantage shows up mainly with light and medium-light roasts. For classic dark espressos, the Supernova or Hypernova burrs are enough.
Do I need to recalibrate after the swap?
Yes, that's part of it. Plan for one or two test shots until the grind size settles back in.
Roastery tip
The Ultra set shows its strength with light beans. After the swap, pull a few shots with a light single origin and work your way toward the grind setting in small steps – the finer, more even grind shifts your usual point a little. That's our recommendation, one of many.
