Rocket Faustino V2 bean hopper, complete – the right part for the second generation
The Faustino V2 has its own bean hopper, and this is where spare parts get mixed up most often. The hopper from the first generation does not fit here, and the same goes the other way round.
In everyday use, it is the part that sees the most action: take it off, fill it, put it back on. A hopper that has developed play over the years, or whose locking mechanism no longer clicks into place, is due for replacement.
When it's due
It's due if there are visible cracks, if the locking mechanism no longer clicks cleanly into place, if the hopper wobbles on the grinder, or if bean dust escapes at the joint.
Check first whether it's only the lid or the slide gate that needs replacing: we stock both separately for the V2, and both are considerably cheaper than the whole hopper.

Who it's for
For anyone with a Faustino V2 whose hopper is showing signs of age. The swap takes just a few seconds and needs no tools.
If you're not sure whether your grinder is a V2, send us the model and serial number – we'll check the fit before you order.
We can't give a part number for this part: our records list the item without a number, and we don't make one up. If you have a number from a service document in front of you, send it to us – we'll compare it instead of guessing.
The bean hoppers and their parts in our catalogue
We stock fourteen items around the bean hopper, split into four groups. If you're not sure which version is on your grinder, take the hopper off and send us the model and serial number – we'll compare instead of guessing.
Complete bean hoppers from Rocket, three items: Complete bean hopper for the Rocket Faustino at CHF 69.30; Complete bean hopper for the Rocket Fausto at CHF 89.75; complete bean hopper for the Rocket Faustino V2 at CHF 74.65 – that is, this product.
Complete bean hoppers from La Marzocco, four items: Complete bean hopper for the La Marzocco Pico at CHF 111.54; Complete bean hopper for the La Marzocco Swift Mini at CHF 240.68; Complete bean hopper for the La Marzocco Jay, part number 1074 at CHF 205.92; Bean shutter kit with bean hopper from La Marzocco, part number C.1.513.R at CHF 115.39.
Bean hopper lids, four items: Bean hopper lid for the Rocket Faustino V2 at CHF 21.55; Bean hopper lid for the La Marzocco Pico at CHF 23.21; Bean hopper lid for the La Marzocco Jay, part number C.2.091.R at CHF 33.66; two-piece bean hopper lid from La Marzocco, part number F.1.177 at CHF 38.39.
Slide gates and sealing rings on the hopper, three items: Bean hopper slide gate for the Rocket Faustino V2 at CHF 4.95; Bean hopper rubber ring for the Rocket Faustino, part number R8G4996889 at CHF 11.00; Bean hopper rubber sealing ring for the Rocket Fausto, part number R8G4995938 at CHF 8.80.
Not part of this series, but on the same path the beans take: the coffee chute of the La Marzocco Jay, through which the ground coffee exits after the grinding mechanism, and the 0.2 mm flap for the Jay. Both sit below the grinding mechanism and have nothing to do with the bean supply.
What goes with it
For the same grinder, we stock the lid and the slide gate separately, plus the burr set for the Faustino V2.
The matching category is Rocket Faustino and Fausto spare parts; the full range is in Service parts and in Coffee grinder accessories and spare parts.
A good fit for the swap: grinder cleaning with Puly Grind.
The workshop tip from Bern and Zurich
In the workshop, we first fit the new hopper empty and turn it fully open and closed once before any beans go in. If something sticks, you notice it straight away with the empty hopper, not only once there are three hundred grams of beans in it. This is our routine in Bern and Zurich, not a manufacturer requirement. To fill the hopper, we reach for Nutty Delight and Cozy Chocolate in the workshop, and for maximum body without acidity, for Very Nutty; you'll find the full selection in our coffee beans.
Returns excluded
Service parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold once they have been installed or test-fitted on a machine. So before you order, check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a quick message and we'll work out the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Does this hopper also fit the first Faustino generation?
No. The item name explicitly says V2, and the first generation has its own item in the catalogue.
How many beans does the hopper hold?
Our records don't state a capacity for this item, so we don't state one either.
Is the whole hopper worth it if only the lid is broken?
No. We stock the lid and slide gate for the V2 separately and at a considerably lower price. The whole hopper is only the right choice if the hopper itself is cracked or if it has permanent play on the grinder.
What is the part number for this part?
We don't know it. Our records list this item without a part number, and we don't write down one we can't back up. Send us the number from your service document and we'll confirm the fit.
Can I take a look at the part in your showroom?
Yes. In Bern at Gerberngasse 44 and in Zurich at Hagenholzstrasse 50b, service parts are on hand, and we'll check together with you whether the version fits your grinder.
