Overview
Faema TOUCH & MATCH Espresso Coffee Grinder
Features
On Demand Grinding
- Simple touchpad display: Easy to read. Easy to operate. The top number indicates the grind time. Pressing the -/+ buttons underneath can change the grinding time by 0.1-second increments.
- Multiple dosing options: Press the bottom left button for single-cup dosing. Press the bottom right button for double cup dosing. Press both buttons at the same time for semi-automatic dosing.
Grinding Burrs
- Flat burrs: Large size at 55 mm. The larger the size, the more of a grinding surface, resulting in faster production.
- Easy access: Remove the bean hopper. On the back panel near the top, there is a Philips head screw that holds the top panel. Under the panel, there are 2 more Philips head screws that hold the top burr carrier.
- High rpm: Fast spinning rate at 1350 rpm. The higher the speed, the faster the production, which can increase efficiency and reduce wait times.
Grinding Adjustment
- Stepless: Infinite number of grind settings which allows you to fine-tune your grind. Turn clockwise for a finer grind and counterclockwise for a coarser grind. The instructions are written on the grinder in case you forget.
- Perfect positioning: The adjustment knob is located on the top right of the grinder, underneath the bean hopper. This helps keep the overall width of the grinder low compared to other grinders that have it on the side. This also protects it from hitting against other equipment.
Portafilter Fork
- Ease of use: There is a hook that allows you to rest your portafilter while grinding for a complete hands-free operation. Accommodates most portafilters.
- Adjustable: The default distance from the fork to the portafilter hook is ~1.5 inches. The fork can adjust up or down by ~0.5 inch.
- Removable: Easily to install and remove if you want to grind into something else like a cup.
Bean Hopper
- Low profile: The total height of the grinder without the hopper is a little under 9.25″ (to the grinding adjustment knob). The bean hopper adds another 4.25″ bringing the total height to approximately 13.5″. The total capacity is approximately 500 grams of whole coffee beans.
- Set screw: Secures the hopper to the grinder. Serves as a reminder for users to make sure the hopper is empty before removing it.
- Finger guard: Prevents users from “accidentally” putting their fingers in the grinding burrs. Also helps reduce the “popcorning” effect of the beans when grinding.
- Stopper: A door near the bottom of the hopper can slide in to close the opening. This allows you to remove the hopper with beans inside so you can easily change the beans. There will be some beans in the burrs which you will have to grind out first before removing the hopper.

Notes
Espresso Coffee Grinder Warnings:
- Roast Profiles: Espresso grinders sold by 1st-line Equipment, unless specifically indicated on the grinder page, are manufactured for coffee beans that have Italian or espresso roast profiles. Lighter roasted coffee beans may clog the grinder or not grind fine enough. Darker roasted coffee beans, such as French roasted or oily coffee beans, may clog the grinding chamber and/or the grinder chute where the ground coffee exits.
- Changing grind settings: It is very important to only change grind settings when the unit is powered on and the burrs are in motion. If you do not do this, the burrs will ‘gunk’ up and render the grinder to only produce very coarse grinds or no grinds at all. To remedy this, you will have to open up the grinder to get access to the grinding burrs. This issue will be considered operator error for lack of following directions, and not be classified as a defective grinder.
- Electrical cord: For most grinders, the cord is placed between the packaging (foam or cardboard) and the underside body of the grinder. During shipping, it is normal for a bend or insignificant blemish/slice to damage the cord.
- Finding coffee grinds in a new grinder: Most manufacturers test their grinders with coffee beans before they leave their facility. Unfortunately, they are not always able to get every trace of coffee out of the grinders after testing. As a result, you may find coffee beans or grinds inside your grinder, or there may be grinds in the packaging.
- Static issues: There are static issues with all grinders, even the highest-quality models. We firmly believe that the static comes from the coffee beans. If you are having static problems with your coffee grinder, try using a different blend of beans.
- Electrical: To avoid electrical damage (which is not considered a manufacturer's defect), please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. A surge without protection can damage a grinder at the power switch, the capacitor, the motor, or the wiring.
- Burr cleaning: For routine maintenance of the grinding burrs, we recommend using grinder cleaning agents. We do not recommend any removal of the burrs or the burr carrier for cleaning (unless necessary) as re-assembly can cause damage. If the grinder chamber is dis-assembled, the warranty is voided for any damages that result. It is important to always remove all coffee grinds from the threads of the burr carrier and the grinding chamber.
- Replacing burrs: NEVER use a flat head screwdriver and hammer to wedge UNDER the burrs for removal. This could badly damage your grinder.
