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 screws has become brittle over time.
On both the Faustino and the Fausto, the portafilter holder is fixed firmly to the housing via small screws, each one sheathed in a rubber sleeve that dampens vibration and prevents direct metal-on-metal contact.
Small parts with a big effect on how quiet grinding stays
Rubber loses tension over time, mainly through recurring mechanical stress and temperature swings. A sleeve that no longer sits snugly leaves the screw with minimal play – and that play becomes audible during grinding as a faint vibration or rattle. Replacing the original rubber sleeves restores the solid, quiet fit of the portafilter holder.

The Roastery Tip
A grinder that runs quietly deserves beans reflecting 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 wanting to discover a fruity experience: Wild Peach, lively and always a discovery. Our recommendation from the roastery, one of many.
