Have you heard about the Varia Multi Brewer? This unique device is one of the most versatile brewers on the market, with the ability to brew your favourite caffeinated beverage in six different ways! This gives you so many options to change up your brew style and go from cold brew to stovetop whenever you like. Let’s take a quick look at the different functionalities below.
1. FILTER.
A filter or pour over style coffee is pretty self-explanatory – you simply pour the water over the coffee to brew. Unlike immersion methods (we’ll get to that soon), the water only has a short amount of time in contact with the coffee bed before it drips out through a paper filter into your server. This short contact time provides a clean, delicate cup full of intricate flavours. To brew a pour over with the Varia, simply add the filter cone to the top of the jug, and the base cap to the bottom of the jug. Add your paper filter to the cone and follow your favourite recipe for brewing. (For some handy tips on recipes, check out the included manual.)
2. FRENCH PRESS.
French Press is an immersion-style brew method, where the coffee is immersed in water for the whole length of the brew and filtered at the end. This method provides a longer coffee-to-water contact time than a filter style brew, and results in a rich, even extraction. To brew in the Varia you’ll need to use coarsely ground coffee with the Varia jug, the base cap, and the French Press filter plunger. This method is a great option for those who are new to manual brewing, with only a few simple steps to create a delicious brew. Simply add your coffee to the jug, pour in your water, and give it a little stir. Place the plunger on top, let it brew for a few minutes and then slowly press the plunger down to finish the brew. Remember to refer to the Varia manual for some recipes for your French Press brewing.
3. COLD BREW.
Another great option for brewing on the Varia is cold brew. This brew method has a higher coffee-to-water ratio and brews with cold water instead of hot, which means you’ll need a longer brew time to get the perfect extraction. The result, however, is a strong, clean coffee concentrate which you can serve over ice, with milk, or just on its own. To make cold brew using the Varia, you’ll use the French Press plunger with the cold brew filter basket attachment. With the base cap attached to the jug, fill the jug with cold water and add your coarsely ground coffee beans to the filter basket. Add the plunger with the filter basket to the jug (pressed down so the coffee sits in the water), and leave it in the fridge to brew for anywhere between 10-12 hours.
4. MOKA POT.
This traditional Italian-style method works by heating water from underneath the coffee bed using the boiler component. As the water boils, it bubbles up through the Moka Pot filter, passes through the coffee bed and up into the jug, leaving you with a strong, bold cup similar to an espresso. You can drink it as is, top up with hot water or add some milk for a latte-like coffee.
5. TEA
Just need a nice cuppa? As well as a refreshing cold brew, the filter basket attachment for the plunger can also be used to brew your favourite tea! Add the boiler to the bottom of the jug, add some water to the jug, place the lid on top and boil the water on your stove. Add your tea leaves to the filter basket and replace the lid with the plunger component. Ensure the plunger is pressed down to steep your tea and enjoy.
6. KETTLE
Not only does the Varia do a fantastic job of brewing your coffee and your tea, it can also be used in the kitchen as a normal kettle. The boiler base is super versatile and can be used on electric, gas, and induction stovetops and is crafted from high-quality stainless steel for durability and everyday use.
Varia have designed their Multi Brewer to be incredibly user-friendly, durable, and compact so you can use it in your kitchen or even take it with you as a travel brewer. With multiple brewing capabilities, a sleek design and quality parts, you won’t be disappointed with the Varia and will no doubt want to use it everyday, in every way.
