Rocket Rubber Sleeve for Portafilter Holder Screws (Faustino/Fausto) – Original Spare Part
A quiet rattle, barely noticeable, but enough to disturb the calm rhythm of grinding – often the cause is simple: one of the small rubber sleeves on the portafilter holder's screws has grown brittle over time.
On both the Faustino and the Fausto, the portafilter holder sits firmly against the housing via small screws, each wrapped in a rubber sleeve that dampens vibration and prevents direct metal-on-metal contact.
Small parts with a big effect on grinding calm
Rubber loses its tension over time, mainly through recurring mechanical stress and temperature swings. A sleeve that no longer sits snugly gives the screw a minimal amount of play – and that play becomes audible while grinding as a quiet vibration or rattle. Replacing the original rubber sleeves brings back the solid, quiet fit of the portafilter holder.

The Roastery Tip
A quietly running grinder deserves beans that reflect the same care. Our main recommendation: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, aromatic, full-bodied. For maximum body with no acidity at all: Very Nutty. For anyone who wants to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, vibrant and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery – one of many.
