Through Espressivo you can now order espresso coffee from one of the first coffee roasting companies in Italy – Caffe’ Bontadi.

The company was founded in 1790 by Carlo Bontadi in Rovereto, northern Italy. In accordance with the northern Italian roasting style Bontadi’s coffee is a “slightly lighter dark-roast” and they offer several different blends that all have their unique character.

Acquaint yourself with this remarkable coffee through our opening offer: a 20 percent discount on all coffees from Bontadi (the discount has expired). The offer will be available only for a limited time and the discount apply to the actual coffee, not to the shipping costs. You can order the coffees from Bontadi here.

In order to achieve truly excellent espresso, where the coffee trickles out of the machine in a majestic seemingly impossibly thick flow of crema, you need to use a really good coffee grinder alongside the actual espresso machine.

It is therefore a real pleasure to introduce the new Macinatore Fausto coffee grinder from Rocket Espresso. According to the dictionary “fausto” is the Italian word for “happy” or “propitious” and can be used in expressions such as “a happy event” or “a good omen”. Macinatore simply means “grinder”.

In short, Fausto offers everything you need in order to get the most out of your espresso machine. Please have a look at this short video introduction:

The grinder is manufactured by Eureka, an Italian company that specializes in coffee grinders. From a technical standpoint the Fausto thus have similarities with the company’s own Zenith 65E. However, the Macinatore Fausto is completely designed by Rocket Espresso and is only sold under this brand.

The sense of quality you get the minute you take this grinder out of the box is hard to convey with pictures – it is a really solid and impressive machine in every regard!

Actually the overall size might be the only drawback of using this grinder in a home setting, it will likely not fit underneath the average kitchen cupboard. Currently there is not a smaller bean hopper available as an accessory but that may change in the future.

As an espresso grinder of professional calibre the Fausto is in no way unusually big though, and for the true espresso aficionado the end result (the actual beverage) is well worth the effort of making room for the machine in your kitchen.

According to Rocket Espresso they will continue to offer both their branded version of the Mazzer Mini E alongside the Macinatore Fausto for the time being. Both grinders are excellent additions to your espresso machine from Rocket Espresso or some other machine of similar quality.

Macinatore Fausto is currently in stock and can be ordered in Espressivo’s online shop.
