The Rocket Faustino 3.1 is a compact domestic espresso grinder for home coffee drinkers who want more control, consistency and style from their setup.

Designed to sit neatly beside a domestic espresso machine, the Faustino 3.1 brings together 50mm flat burrs, stepless grind adjustment, programmable dosing and Rocket’s familiar Italian styling in a grinder that is small enough for the home bench, but serious enough for proper espresso.

If you are investing in good coffee beans and a quality home espresso machine, the grinder matters. The Faustino 3.1 is built for people who want to dial in their coffee properly, improve extraction, and get more from every bag of freshly roasted beans.

Best suited to

  • Home espresso drinkers wanting a better grinder

  • Home baristas who want stepless espresso adjustment
  • Compact kitchen benches and domestic coffee stations

Why the grinder matters

A good espresso machine can only do so much if the grind is inconsistent. Espresso needs fine adjustment, repeatable dosing and a grinder that can keep up with small changes in beans, age, weather and taste.

The Faustino 3.1 gives home coffee drinkers the control needed to make those adjustments. Instead of being locked into broad stepped settings, the stepless grind adjustment lets you make small, precise changes as you dial in your espresso.

Key features

  • 50mm flat burrs: designed to produce consistent grinding for espresso.
  • Stepless grind adjustment: gives fine control when dialling in your coffee.
  • Programmable dosing: set repeatable timed doses for your regular coffee routine.
  • Three programmable doses plus continuous mode: useful for single, double and manual top-up grinding.
  • Hands-free portafilter support: helps keep the workflow simple and tidy.
  • Compact footprint: designed for domestic benches and home espresso setups.
  • Rocket styling: a clean match for Rocket domestic espresso machines.
  • Quiet grinding design: built to suit the home environment better than many larger commercial-style grinders.

Made for home espresso

The Faustino 3.1 is not trying to be a large commercial grinder. Its strength is that it brings the right features into a domestic format: precise espresso adjustment, programmable doses, a compact body and a finish that looks at home beside a premium espresso machine.

It is a strong choice if you want to improve your morning coffee without taking over the whole kitchen bench.

Who should choose the Rocket Faustino 3.1?

Choose the Faustino 3.1 if you care about espresso and want a grinder that lets you adjust properly. It is especially suited to home coffee drinkers who already have, or are planning to buy, a quality espresso machine.

It is also a good fit for Rocket Appartamento and other Rocket domestic machine owners who want a grinder that matches the look and feel of their coffee setup.

Recommended coffee beans

The Faustino 3.1 is best used with freshly roasted whole beans. For espresso at home, we usually recommend starting with one of our reliable blends and adjusting the grind until the coffee tastes balanced in the cup.
