Know before you buy
The Faustino 3.1 is specifically engineered for espresso grinding. While it excels at fine-tuning for espresso, it is not designed for coarser grind settings like French press or drip coffee.
The stepless adjustment allows you to rotate the grind collar infinitely rather than clicking through fixed positions. This gives you the precision required to make micro-adjustments to your espresso shot time and flavor profile.
Yes, the interface features three programmable dose settings. You can set these for different time durations to accommodate single or double baskets, or to account for different coffee bean densities.
It is designed with a compact footprint, measuring 6.38 inches wide and 9.45 inches deep. Its height of 15.16 inches should fit comfortably under most standard kitchen cabinets.
Hardened steel flat burrs are chosen for their durability and ability to produce a highly uniform particle size. This consistency is essential for achieving balanced, repeatable espresso extractions.
While all electric grinders produce noise, the Faustino 3.1 operates at 1380 RPM, which provides a balance between efficient grinding speed and manageable noise levels for a home kitchen environment.
