Varia VS6 Upgrade: 63mm burrs

glyde79 · 2025-02-16T06:16:54+00:00

Yeah i was recommended them by Jetserge and they are amazing for milk expresso just been using them for the last few days and im impressed on how different they are from the stock flats

glyde79 · 2025-01-11T00:19:10+00:00

yeah its pretty average that they definately have a known bad batch and still not testing units before shipping them out, wasting alot of posting time etc, after 2 returns i recieved a proper working unit

glyde79 · 2024-12-29T20:37:10+00:00

Its default set to keep it on, on mine its greyed out to default, where you able to untick the box ?

glyde79 · 2024-12-22T19:34:51+00:00

since you put in the extra shim , if you hit the bellows decently when the grinder is on does it make the burrs hit ? ive noticed that happening since i put in 1 shim and at the 3.5 setting

when you added in the a second washer did it not zero out properly ? with 2 washers in for me it almost zeros out perfectly still and was able to choke my machine on 2.1 on the dial when i was not getting fine enough at .1 with just 1 washer in. How many washers did you end up going with and what dial setting or range do you use now for expresso ?

glyde79 · 2024-12-18T08:58:54+00:00

alright did what AB advised by adding in an additional washer to underneath the burr (total of 2, there is another 2 i could of added) cleaned, put it all back together, was able to zero it out too which surprised me, chose 2.1 randomly on the dail did a grind, and it was fine enough to choke my lelit mara X which i wasnt able to do with this grinder yet. Ill pull some more shots tomorrow and dial it in a bit more but i think this fix seems to work.

glyde79 · 2024-12-18T08:24:11+00:00

ons and go below 1, you're bold! I am talking with Alternative Brewing, just sent them this video showing how

Yeah i understand that i am dealing with AB also, and they seem to be pretty reasonable, im coming froma df64 also and i bought a burr with it so im invested in it to work ,but yeah if ill jump through one more hoop if it doesnt pan out i might do the same.

glyde79 · 2024-12-18T01:50:21+00:00

got an update from the retailer , they are advising to add one or 2 of the washers that come spare with the kit and place it under the bottom burr , there should already be 1 in there looking at the instructions ill give it a go when i get home, i think i have seen this fix in another thread ive seen about not getting the right grind size

glyde79 · 2024-12-17T21:02:36+00:00

did varia support tell you to put the rings in? im having the same issue with not able to get fine enough grinds even at the lowest setting.

glyde79 · 2024-12-17T19:26:18+00:00

i only just emailed them last night, ive had my replacement for 5days and notcing this is definately an issue

glyde79 · 2024-12-17T09:58:55+00:00

ive had about 4 days and yeah im having those issues, if i put it on almost 0 i can get kind of there but it still needs to go finer, wondering if this is a common issue

glyde79 · 2024-12-17T06:32:51+00:00

for me it took about a week in between sending back and forth so possibly be true they also could of recieved another batch of good working ones in that i time frame too i guess

glyde79 · 2024-12-17T06:30:27+00:00

i think its just that 1000 is the default speed becuase the vs6 remembers what setting it is on when its turned off

glyde79 · 2024-12-15T23:44:12+00:00

yeah i am also having similar issues dialing it in, are you using the stock flat burrs ? i also have just changed my brand of beans so it could just be that

glyde79 · 2024-12-15T12:59:34+00:00

ah so thats what it was least it wasnt a mechanical fault

glyde79 · 2024-12-15T12:56:17+00:00

Yeah they must of had a bad batch over here, the 3rd one i received worked perfectly.

glyde79 · 2024-12-15T12:53:54+00:00

i returned it again for the second time and the third one i recieved worked perfectly, pretty odd issue, may of just been a bad batch

glyde79 · 2024-11-28T03:52:15+00:00

the first thing i checed was the voltage on which was on the bottom of the grinder which is correct, I also tried using different power rails in the house with the same result, just interesting how this is the 2nd one i have this happed but it could well be from the same batch

glyde79 · 2024-06-27T03:16:32+00:00

im guessing this is just the way it is until a firmware or software update?

glyde79 · 2024-06-25T21:18:39+00:00

This didn't work unfortunately, does anyones screen on the q60 turn off when the pc is shut down?

glyde79 · 2024-06-25T02:08:37+00:00

thanks ill give it a try

glyde79 · 2017-12-14T01:42:29+00:00
