Coffee Hopper and Grinding Burrs
At the top of the Faema MD2000, you'll find a removable coffee hopper that holds the coffee beans before they are fed into the grinder. The beans then travel down towards the grinding burrs, which are flat and rotate in a right-turning direction. These flat grinding burrs are known for producing consistent and precise grounds, ideal for a variety of brewing methods.
The burrs on the Faema MD2000 have the following specifications:
- External diameter: 75mm
- Internal diameter: 43.5mm
The distance between the burrs can be adjusted by moving the top burr up or down, allowing the user to fine-tune the grind size for different types of coffee, whether for espresso or other brewing methods.
Motor Options
The Faema MD2000 is available with different motor configurations to suit various voltage requirements. It can be equipped with:
- 110V and 230V single-phase motors, which require a start capacitor to function.
- 400V three-phase motor, which does not require a capacitor for operation.
This flexibility allows the MD2000 to be used in a variety of settings, from small cafes to larger commercial operations.
Doser Mechanism
Once the coffee beans are ground, the freshly ground coffee is directed into the doser on the front of the machine. The doser stores a specific amount of ground coffee, ensuring that it is readily available for quick use. The dosing lever on the side of the machine allows the barista to easily dispense the desired amount of coffee into the portafilter or container.
One of the useful features of the Faema MD2000 is its ability to grind for a set amount of time after each pull of the dosing lever. This ensures that the doser never runs empty, providing a continuous supply of ground coffee during busy periods.
Adjustable Grind Settings
The grind size on the Faema MD2000 can be adjusted with precision. By moving the top burr up or down, the distance between the burrs changes, allowing for finer or coarser grounds. This adjustability makes the MD2000 suitable for a wide range of brewing methods, from espresso to drip coffee, and ensures that the grind size matches the specific requirements of each brewing style.
