Vibrant. Fun. Modern. The sleek tapered profile of the Sheaffer VFM has an almost aerodynamic quality, and comes in a variety of finishes to suit any taste.

The Sheaffer VFM Coffee Edition features a light coffee brown finish and a charming cup and heart insignia printed on the back. Tailored for coffee lovers with a flair for writing, this special edition pen combines sleek design with stylish practicality, making it an ideal companion for everyday use.

The ombré coffee brown-colored lacquered metal body is accented by Regal Brown PVD trim and matching steel nib. It also has a coffee cup design on the back of the cap. With coffee as the inspiration, each pen is a sophisticated blend of various tones of brown and tan.

It features a satisfying snap cap that posts securely onto the back of the barrel when writing. The clip features a Sheaffer White Dot, the trademark symbol of writing excellence.

Unlike other Sheaffer pen models, the VFM accepts a standard international converter or cartridges. The fountain pen comes in a gift box with a standard international converter, ink cartridge, and warranty information included.

Excellent first impressions!

Like Sheaffer

One of my first pens as a kid was a Sheaffer. This isn't exactly the same as I remember but then the pen probably wasn't as I remember.... For the price I like it a lot as a daily writer....

Love the colors. It's more like a medium when it comes to writing at least when using deatrementis archive black ink. Nice pen!

Adorable

I'm in love with the design and feel of my new pen! The ombre is a perfect roasted brown that's a bit more reddish in real life than on the screen. The matte finish feels really luxurious and the grip is this shiny black plastic that's easy to grip. It is a bit thinner than my other metal body fountain pens, which is my personal preference. The cap snaps on with what appears to be a plastic insert, so I wouldn't expect it to scratch anything when posted. And of course it has an adorable little coffee symbol printed on the end.

The writing experience is smooth, no notes no problems. Linewidth is what I'd expect out of a fine. I don't have a coffee brown ink so I put in Rohrer and Klingner's Alt Bordeaux instead, which is this dark mauve color that matches the brown metallic trim surprisingly well. The converter has a loose metal spring in it whose function I have yet to figure out, but it works like it should.

Overall- can't recommend this pen highly enough, especially for the price. It came packaged in a sturdy little box with a really cute coffee/writing motif, along with 2 cartridges and a converter. I showed it to my friend and now she wants one too... but definitely get one for yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this fountain pen from an ink cartridge? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary Sheaffer ink cartridges, which are available in a few colors.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
