Rocket Fausto Complete Bean Hopper – Original Spare Part
An open flap, a generous swirl of beans, then the familiar trickle – on the Fausto, the bean hopper is generously sized, built for days when the grinder doesn't stop.
It holds around 635 grams of beans, enough for a full workday straight through or for several days at home without constant refilling. The Fausto works doserless with programmable time dosing: the hopper feeds the burrs directly, and each portion drops at the press of a button, in the set time.
Why a tight seal decides the taste
A coffee bean holds over 800 compounds, many of them volatile and sensitive to oxygen. Beans exposed to open air contact while waiting in the hopper gradually lose some of this variety – an effect that becomes more noticeable over days than over hours. A hopper with a cleanly closing lid and a proper seal reduces this contact to the minimum, before the bean even reaches the Fausto's burrs.
Rocket Espresso's original bean hopper is matched exactly to the Fausto and brings the grinder back to its original, tight-sealing state.

The Roastery Tip
A hopper that reliably keeps up the supply deserves beans with substance. Our main recommendation: Cozy Chocolate and Nutty Delight, dense, aromatic, full-bodied. For maximum body with no acidity at all: Very Nutty. For anyone wanting to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery, one of many.
