I tested the Geimori GU38 coffee grinder and it could win a Varia VS3 lookalike contest — but the similarities (mostly) end there

The Wirsh Geimori GU38 looks like it could be one of the best coffee grinders. If appearance were everything, I’d be singing this tiny, lightweight grinder’s praises. However, looks aren’t everything, and functionality is — surprisingly — kind of a big deal in a home cafe setup.

While obviously a Varia VS3 lookalike, you’ll be disappointed to learn that the similarities end there. True, the GU38 is just as gorgeous, just as small, and just as light as its inspiration, but due to its non-uniform grinding and 1.67% retention, it can’t come close to the VS3’s stylish-but-also-functional design.
