Kurasu LLC (Headquarters: Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Representative: Yozo Otsuki) has announced the launch of the new Varia VS4 Grinder, the latest model from the Hong Kong-based coffee gear brand Varia, starting February 2, 2026.
Varia coffee grinders are among the most popular coffee equipment items handled by Kyoto-based coffee company Kurasu, with cumulative sales reaching 150,000 units to date.
Among them, the Varia VS3 has been widely supported as a bestselling home grinder thanks to its single-dose design optimized for brewing, approachable size and price point, and adjustment range covering everything from espresso to filter coffee. However, user feedback to Varia highlighted issues such as powder retention caused by static electricity and maintenance accessibility.
The new Varia VS4 addresses these challenges with its proprietary Electrodynamic Flow design that reduces powder retention and static electricity, and a tool-free Quick Connect Bayonet System for easy maintenance. While maintaining the same performance that handles everything from espresso to filter coffee, the daily user experience has been significantly improved.
Product Features
◎ Electrodynamic Flow Design Reduces Powder Retention and Static Electricity
The VS4 features an Electrodynamic Flow design that stabilizes powder flow and a seamless, integrated chamber structure that reduces powder adhesion and static electricity generation. An active ionizer further pursues workflow cleanliness.
◎ Stepless Adjustment in 10-Micron Increments + Access Without Disrupting Settings
The VS4 offers stepless adjustment in 10-micron increments, allowing fine-tuning from espresso to filter coffee according to your target. Additionally, the structure maintains settings even when accessing the chamber, making it easy to incorporate cleaning and checking into your daily routine.
◎ 200W Brushless Motor × Variable RPM (Grind Design for Different Uses)
Equipped with a 200W brushless motor with adjustable rotation speed according to use. Settings can be adjusted to suit different brewing styles, such as when you want to reduce fines for filter coffee or create the desired texture for espresso.
◎ Tool-Free Quick Connect Bayonet System and Safety Design
The Quick Connect Bayonet System provides rapid access to the hopper and chamber, with safety-focused design for daily cleaning. The operation is designed to be manageable not only for home use but also in small commercial environments.
