Know before you buy
The Faustino 3.1 stands out for its compact footprint and the inclusion of a screwless top burr design, which significantly reduces grind retention. It balances professional-grade 50mm flat burrs with a user-friendly touchscreen interface, making it ideal for home baristas who want precision without a complex workflow.
Unlike grinders with fixed 'clicks,' the stepless system allows you to adjust the grind size infinitely. This gives you total control to dial in your espresso shots with extreme precision, ensuring you can make the tiny adjustments necessary to perfect your extraction.
Yes, the grinder is built with sound-insulated, anti-vibration casing specifically designed to dampen noise. While no grinder is silent, it is noticeably quieter than many entry-level models, making it a great choice for early morning coffee routines.
The Faustino 3.1 is specifically engineered for espresso. While it can technically grind coarser, its adjustment mechanism and burr geometry are optimized for the fine, consistent particles required for espresso, and it is not recommended for drip or pour-over brewing.
The touchscreen interface allows you to program three distinct timed doses: single, double, and triple shots. You can easily adjust the duration for each setting to match your preferred dose weight, ensuring consistent results every time you grind.
The Faustino 3.1 is quite compact, measuring approximately 5.25 inches wide, 9 inches deep, and 15 inches tall. Its slim profile is designed to fit comfortably alongside most espresso machines without dominating your kitchen workspace.
