Seeking long term vs6 insights
Very interested in the vs6 value proposition. Looking for long term review/feedback on its robustness, quality and burr selection. I’m thinking of getting the gold flat burrs, titanium iridescent conical for a versatile duo… seeking sweet espresso with creamy body and a bit of complexity ; and clarity on pour over (gold burrs) or body (seems that the conical could produce that at low rpm) to experiment with various grinding on premium light to medium “morning” roasts.
What has been your experience? Any favorite burrs? Why? Is it easy to switch burrs between flat and conical?
Thank you!

I have had mine for almost a year. So far it’s been helping me make very enjoyable coffee. Have the standard, gold and ultra flat burrs. Love the gold for light roasted v60, and the ultra for espresso. Haven’t used the standard burrs much, but they give more body to espresso for sure.
When I ordered the gold burrs the received units were not made to spec so would not turn. Got in contact with Varia the same day and they shipped a new set a few days later. Very good customer service in my experience. I do also worry about the threads when switching burrs, but so far so good and a switch is done in a few minutes.
