Everyday life behind the bar counter means having to make a lot of repetitive motions, and this can lead to stiffness, pain or other upper body problems in the long run.
Pro-Fondi® EVO prevents injuries and pain in the bartender's arm: let's see immediately how and why.
Preparing a large number of coffees every day forces arms and shoulders to make high-frequency repetitive motions, putting a strain on the musculoskeletal system of the upper body, especially when emptying the portafilter through the traditional method of coffee grounds drawer.

Constantly banging the portafilter to clean it with the espresso knock box to after each coffee involves an unhealthy effort for the arm and shoulder joints. Furthermore, as we have already explained in the article dedicated to cleaning and hygiene in bars, collecting the coffee grounds using the knockout drawer is ineffective cleaning technique.
Also for this reason, we recommend to use electric device Pro-Fondi® EVO, designed to perfectly remove portafilter coffee grounds with no effort from the bartender.

In fact, portafilter cleaning by Pro-Fondi® electric beater takes place automatically, activated as soon as the porta filter is placed on it. With Pro-Fondi EVO, 2 seconds are enough (watch the video) to perfectly empty portafilter, which is ready to be filled with new coffee powder, with no stress from baristas. 

What we talk about is a fundamental topic for the success of a bar, cafeteria or restaurant, and concerns the whole world of catering and safety at work.
Upper limb discomfort from workplace from which bartenders often suffer, is one of the occupational diseases caused by repetitive motions, risks of job. In fact, daily work at the bar counter leads to upper body musculoskeletal overload, poor posture and standing for long time.

These types of discomforts can be minor or turn over time into serious and disabling conditions preventing one from continuing to do his job. Many bartenders end up having to take anti-inflammatories, wear orthopedic braces or even take time off work for the time necessary to recover.
Unfortunately, health is influenced also by these problems, but our baristas customers could forget them using the electric beater Pro-Fondi® EVO instead of the old coffee grounds drawer.
