Burr Set for the Rocket Faustino V2 – 50 mm flat burrs
The coffee tastes a little different today than usual – not worse, just less settled. The grind size doesn't run through as evenly as it used to, and the extraction takes noticeably longer for the same amount. Anyone who grinds daily usually notices small shifts like this on the tongue first, only afterwards in the head.
The answer rarely sits in the basket or the bean, but deeper in the grinder itself – in the cutting edges, which lose their sharpness over months and years.
Why worn burrs change your espresso
What lands on the palate as unsettled or flat is usually not a question of the roast, but of particle size. Sharp cutting edges produce an even grind – many particles of similar size that dissolve at the same rate during brewing. As the edges round off, the spread increases: some particles finer, others coarser, and the extraction stops running in sync. A fresh burr set brings that evenness back, without changing anything else about the grinder.
For us, extraction is always a question of weight ratio, never time alone – 1:2 as a starting point, the rest is a matter of taste and of practice at the same time. Every shot is unique anyway, because the bean, the humidity and the person behind it all change daily. That's not a limitation, that's simply how espresso works – complex, but not rocket science.
This set is designed specifically for the Rocket Faustino V2: two flat 50 mm burrs to replace the original ones. Coffee Coaching Club is a partner of Rocket in Switzerland and carries this set for anyone who wants to keep their Faustino V2 running well for the long term.

Who this set is for
This burr set is for anyone with a Rocket Faustino V2 at home whose grinder has already been in use for a while – whether just for espresso or filter coffee too, no matter how experienced you are with the grinder. There's no fixed interval at which burrs are due: some notice it after a year of heavy use, others much later. That's our observation, others may see it differently – our opinion is one among many. Nobody needs new burrs as long as their own coffee still tastes the way it always has. Anyone who swaps them anyway does it because evenness in the cup matters to them – a very personal decision, not an obligation.
Around the Faustino V2
Anyone changing the burrs often uses the moment for the rest of the routine too. For a precise look at the ratio of coffee to water, a scale of your own is worth it: compact and reliable in our Normcore Collection, with app connectivity and a flow-rate display in our Acaia Collection. For the grinder itself and the rest of your equipment, there are matching care products in our collection for Machine and Grinder Cleaning, and anyone looking for further spare parts for the Faustino V2 or other Rocket machines will find what they need in our selection of Rocket Spare Parts and Accessories . Anyone thinking beyond the grinder to the machine as well will find the full range in our Rocket Espresso Collection.

The roastery tip
A freshly sharpened grinder shows most clearly what's in the bean. For most people, we recommend from our own roastery Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight – dense, aromatic, with plenty of body. Anyone looking for maximum body without any acidity is in the right place with Very Nutty . And for anyone curious about a fruity experience: Wild Peach is a discovery on the side, never the main promise. That's our recommendation, one among many – any other bean works just as well with fresh burrs.
