Know before you buy
The Faustino 3.1 is specifically engineered for espresso. While it can grind for other methods, its stepless adjustment and burr geometry are optimized for the fine, consistent particles required for high-quality espresso shots.
Unlike grinders with fixed 'clicks,' the stepless system uses a dial that allows you to make infinitely small adjustments to the grind size. This gives you total control to dial in your espresso extraction perfectly.
Yes, the Faustino 3.1 features a programmable digital timer. You can set specific durations for both single and double shots, ensuring consistent dosing every time you grind.
The Faustino 3.1 is designed for quiet operation compared to many other professional-grade grinders. While no electric grinder is silent, it is engineered to minimize noise, making it a great choice for home kitchens.
The hopper holds 320 grams (11.3 ounces) of coffee beans. This size is ideal for home use, providing a good balance between capacity and maintaining a compact footprint on your counter.
Yes, the durable aluminum construction provides a solid, heavy base that prevents the grinder from moving or vibrating during use. At 13 pounds, it remains stable and sturdy on your countertop.
