Voltage and Motor Options
The Faema MD3000 is available in a variety of voltage configurations to accommodate different power supply setups:
- Single-phase versions are available in 110V and 230V configurations. These versions require a start capacitor to initiate the motor.
- A three-phase 400V version is also available, which does not require a start capacitor, providing a more robust solution for higher-demand environments.
These flexible power options make the Faema MD3000 a versatile grinder that can be used in different commercial settings, from small cafes to large restaurants or bars.
Grinding Burrs and Adjustment
The Faema MD3000 is equipped with flat grinding blades that are specifically designed for consistent and precise coffee grinding. These flat burrs ensure uniform grounds, which is crucial for extracting optimal flavor during brewing. The burrs have the following dimensions:
- Outer diameter: 75mm
- Inner diameter: 44mm
Unlike the on-demand version of the MD3000, which can be equipped with conical burrs, the doser version is only available with flat burrs. These burrs can be adjusted using the adjustment ring located on the top of the grinder. By turning the ring, you can fine-tune the distance between the burrs, allowing for more control over the grind size, whether for espresso or other brewing methods.
Doser Mechanism
Once the coffee beans are ground, the ground coffee is pushed into the doser on the front of the grinder. The doser stores a specific amount of coffee, ready to be used immediately. This is particularly useful in high-volume coffee shops, where speed is of the essence. The Faema MD3000 is designed to grind coffee for a pre-set amount of time once a certain amount has been dispensed from the doser. This ensures that there is always freshly ground coffee available for quick use.
To use the doser, baristas simply pull a lever to dispense the desired amount of coffee into the portafilter. This manual dosing process is ideal for environments where speed and efficiency are important, but precision and consistency are still required.
Maintenance and Spare Parts
Like all commercial coffee grinders, the Faema MD3000 requires regular maintenance to ensure it operates smoothly and consistently.
