Hypernova Iridescent burrs are made from a special blend of stainless steel, and the hard metal is coated with titanium nitride for increased durability. This coating process results in a burr with an HRC hardness of 65, which is higher than traditional stainless steel burrs. The added durability of the Hypernova burr provides a consistent grind, even with heavy use, and helps to prevent damage to the burr.

Supernova Gold burrs are made from high-quality 420 stainless steel that has been heat-treated for added strength and hardness. This heat treatment process results in an HRC hardness of 60, making the Supernova Gold burr one of the hardest burrs available for the Varia VS3. The increased hardness of the burr provides a consistent grind and reduces the risk of damage to the burr during heavy use.

Supernova Black burrs are made from a blend of stainless steel and a special coating process that results in an HRC hardness of 60. The high hardness of the Supernova Black burr provides a consistent grind, even with heavy use, and reduces the risk of damage to the burr. The special coating process also helps to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring that the burr will provide optimal performance for a long time.

Upgrading to one of the three burrs compatible with the Varia VS3 can have a significant impact on the grinding performance of the machine. The added hardness of the Hypernova, Supernova Gold, and Supernova Black burrs provides a consistent grind, even with heavy use, and reduces the risk of damage to the burr. So, whether you are a professional barista or just a coffee enthusiast, upgrading your Varia VS3 grinder with one of these burrs is a must.
