It reduces friction during grind adjustment, allows adjustments with an accuracy of around 10 microns according to the manufacturer, and keeps the burr alignment stable. That gives you a quiet, low-vibration grind – for espresso as well as filter coffee. The bearing is also resistant to coffee oils and residue, rated for several thousand grinding cycles, and easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"ccc-compare-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrecision ball bearing, double-row (class P5)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrecision\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBasis for grind adjustment with approx. 10-micron accuracy (manufacturer specification)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eca. 10 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-quality materials (exact alloy not specified by the manufacturer)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVaria VS3 only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone with a Varia VS3 whose grind adjustment no longer runs smoothly or whose grinder noticeably vibrates.
