Rancilio Rocky Doserless Grinder

Rancilio - the most recognized name in commercial-quality espresso machines and grinders - have opened up the professional features and functionality they are famous for by packaging them in the Rocky line of grinders. Ideal for the coffee enthusiast looking to step up from basic grocery store grind and commit to controlling their coffee grinding needs, the Rocky features 55mm burr grinding plates crafted of the finest tempered steel and designed to deliver 55 different types of quality grounds with the press of a button without imparting additional heat during the process. The large, UV-resistant bean hopper holds over half a pound of beans so you don't have to stop mid-grind during a large dinner party for a refill. This version is doserless, which gives you more manual control over the amount of grounds you deliver to your chosen filter or carafe.

Crew Review

Pros

Commercial-Grade Burr Grinder - The 50mm steel grinding plates are the same construction and quality as Rancilio's other, commercial grinders
Perfect Capacity - Smaller than the big, commercial grinders, this machine still handles a little over a half-pound of beans at a time

Cons

Not for the Cheap Hearted - Though it's much less expensive than Rancilio's larger machines, this is still a blow to the pocketbook unless you have a real passion for regular coffee grinding
Power Switch - Some have complained about the placement of the power switch on the Rocky, which makes it difficult to handle the portafilter and operate the machine at the same time
It's a Big Boy - This bad boy weighs 18 pounds, and the motor makes 11 of those pounds. This will take center stage in a small kitchen, so make your measurements before buying

How it Works
Fill the bean hopper with beans, adjust to the appropriate setting and turn on grinder.

Read the manufacturer manual for full instructions on operation.

Care
For detailed care instructions, please refer to your grinder's user manual. We recommend that you also incorporate the following into your cleaning routine:

Clean burrs on a weekly to bi-weekly basis, either with a cleaning brush or a burr grinder-specific cleaning product, such as Grindz
Remove and hand wash bean hopper and lid with warm soap and water as needed

Components & Functionality

Commercial Quality Grinding Burrs: The tempered steel grinding plates rotate at super slow speeds to prevent heat build-up, which can ruin your perfectly roasted beans. The hugely productive motor is also insulated to prevent overheating.

Excellent Home Hopper: The compact hopper is blue-tinted for UV protection of your beans, but still easily see-through for monitoring of your bean level. The hopper holds over .5lbs of beans, and lifts off for easy cleaning.

55 Ways to Grind: A twist of the grind dial on the Rocky gives you 55 levels of control over the output of the grinder. The ultra-fine threading allows you the versatility of going from drip to Turkish or French press coffee brewing, and every other type between!

Quiet, Powerful and Safe: Rancilio designs for commercial use, and that means creating motors and grinders that emit as little noise as possible. The Rocky Grinder is no exception, and is one of the quietest available. Safety is just as important, with the balance of the grinding elements designed to prevent rocking and torque. Should the grinding mechanism jam or become overheated, a thermal protection devise shuts it down to prevent damage to the motor or the grinding mechanisms.
