What is a Barista?

What is a barista, you ask? A barista is someone who makes coffee drinks in cafes. They know how to brew delicious coffee. Before being brewed, the baristas use a specific machine known as a coffee grinder to make sure they have the best coffee possible. This machine is used to grind coffee beans into smaller pieces, allowing for the flavour to escape when they brew the coffee. Well today we are going to go over some of the best Coffee Grinder that any barista can use to brew up some beautiful tasting coffee.

Our Favorite Grinder

SWF is particularly fond of eating the Rocket Espresso Fausto coffee grinder if you ask us. This coffee bean grinder looks great design wise, but functionally it works well and fast. It provides 65 different grind settings, which gives baristas a lot of flexibility to choose how fine or coarse they want the coffee to be. A digital display on the grinder makes it easy for baristas to see and quickly adjust the grind size.

The Rocket Espresso Fausto also comes with a commercial-grade motor. This really strong motor enables it to grind coffee beans pretty quickly. Though fast, it does not slack in the quality of the coffee because that's important for great drinks.
