Sheaffer VFM Coffee Fountain Pen: Technical Specifications

The steel nib is available in two sizes: F (fine) for small handwriting and precision calligraphy, M (medium) for everyday use on standard 80g/m² paper. The light coffee fountain pen works with standard Sheaffer cartridges; the converter for bottled ink is sold separately. Its light weight of 18g makes it suitable for extended writing sessions without hand fatigue.

Differences between VFM and 100 Coffee series

The Sheaffer VFM Coffee fountain pen has a slimmer and lighter design compared to the 100 Coffee series. The finishes are light coffee-colored (a lighter shade), it weighs less (18g vs 28g), and the converter is not included. The 100 series, on the other hand, has darker glossy brown PVD finishes, a slightly more robust construction, and includes a converter. Both mount the same steel nib and guarantee smooth writing.

Maintenance

The light coffee fountain pen requires cleaning every 4-6 weeks if used daily. Disassemble the nib and feed, rinse with warm water, let soak for 10-15 minutes, and dry completely before refilling. The light coffee-colored finishes maintain their appearance over time without needing polishing. Store the pen with the cap on when not in use to protect the nib.
