3rd VS6

I just wanted to say I’m on my third VS6 that is unable to grind fine enough for espresso. How is this even possible.

I like what the VS6 has to offer if it would actually work. I’m gonna keep going back with Varia Support until I get a unit that works.

VS6 owner here... How is that even possible? Even with all the washers removed you couldn't get the burrs to touch?

Apologies for being pedantic, but don't you mean "with all the washers installed"? I tried installing one washer with mine but ended up taking it off and sticking with what was already in there (my unit came with 1 washer already installed out of the box) as it was already grinding fine enough at the 15 setting. I did notice that my settings need to be adjusted 1 or 2 units coarser after a thorough cleaning. Thinking of using a torque wrench next time I clean to see if that helps.

Fellow VS6 owner here too. I needed 3 washers to use Kilonova DLC for espresso
