  • SOLID GRINDER

    fatnat79 | Mon, 05/14/2012 - 18:39

    Rocky is a solid all around grinder. I would say it does a better job at grinding for drip than it does for espresso. The doserless version makes it easy to grind directly into a portafilter.

  • TOUGH

    intrepid510 | Mon, 01/30/2012 - 18:01

    Nice grinder, not having the doser is really a perference thing. A lot of people like the non-doser because you don't have to worry about coffee becoming trapped in there and getting stale nasty coffee when you least expect it. However, the doser has the plus of breaking up clumps.

    However, there is a problem with this grinder and that is it has limited adjustability making it hard to get the grind and dose for coffee compared to other grinders with more 'steps' or infinite adjustability. But this will work for espresso unlike like lesser grinders out there and is a good one for home as it's built like a rock.

  • DECENT QUALITY

    samuellaw178 | Sun, 12/25/2011 - 15:07

    This is a decent espresso grinder for most beginners. However, for that price, I would get Baratza's offering which are more superior in my opinion. Plus, the rocky doserless are known to clump a little and staticky. It works but has a little quirks.

    ...it's best to get a Baratza Preciso instead.

  • GOOD SINGLE DOSE ESPRESSO GRINDER

    EricBNC | Wed, 11/02/2011 - 21:01


    Good single dose espresso grinder - no need for a doser unless you plan on making a lot of shots.

    this is a good grinder for espresso and a good place to start out - if it becomes a passion you will want something higher end.

  • RANCILIO ROCKY

    dpablo19 | Mon, 09/05/2011 - 18:06

    This was my first serious grinder. The grinds were even, but often times clumpy. I'd suggest looking into the Weiss Distribution technique to remedy the clumpiness. Also, I hated the preset steps on this grinder. There is a simple means to make this machine stepless using teflon tape. I'd suggest doing this because my ideal grind settings were often between the Rocky's preset steps. Moreover, the teflon tape modification makes it possible to grind finer. I found the espresso produced by this machine to be pretty decent, but not of commercial quality. Once you move to a grinder with a larger burr set, you get a lot more nuance in the cup. That said, this will still create a well rounded espresso. It is more than adequate for a pour over or french press. I did appreciate the Rocky's ability to quickly adjust for drip coffee. Overall, a very good home grinder.

  • RANCILIO ROCKY DOSERLESS GRINDER

    ThePC | Thu, 06/30/2011 - 01:18

    I pruchased the Rocky to go along with my Gaggia Pure. I quickly realized that a blade grinder and even a low end burr grinder did not get a fine enough grind to function well in the Gaggia. The Rocky is fairly small but has a good weight to it and does not move at all while in use. It is simple to use and produces a consistent grind. While grinding, some coffee will overshoot the portafilter and end up on the counter. I resolved this by using a section of a yogurt container placed in the portafilter while grinding. This extends up to the height of the Rockys spout and prevents the overshoot. Overall, the Rocky works very well, and would recommend it.

  • RANCILIO ROCKY DOSERLESS

    mrbjvb | Tue, 06/28/2011 - 16:03

    This a very good grinder for someone who uses different grind settings. Very easy to go from coarse to fine settings.
    Not the best grinder for espresso, but it will do the job. Good grind consistency, built like a tank. Grinder will last for many years!

  • ROCKY WAS A GOOD STARTER

    speedstar | Tue, 06/28/2011 - 09:19

    I started with the Rocky and at the time it was very good but needed a few updates to make it better. I made mine stepless for adjustment. Google this if you are interested. There are a number of ways to do this. It served me well but for the price, I felt there were better grinders in this price range.

  • SOLID HOME ESPRESSO GRINDER, NOT THE ULTIMATE

    ryanls | Fri, 05/06/2011 - 20:04

    A few years ago this was my first "real" espresso grinder with commercial-quality flat burrs. It is built from sturdy sheet metal and will last for years. It is also relatively small on the counter top compared to some of the other commercial grade grinders preferred by home baristas.

    I do want to call out a shortcoming as compared to the grinder I later upgraded to (Mazzer Mini), and then provide a hack/solution.

    Problem: The top burr is mated to a brass burr carrier, which then threads into the bottom burr carrier. The grind is adjusted by turning the hopper, thereby screwing the top burr closer to or farther from the bottom burr. This is typical of most espresso grinders. The shortcoming is this: the burr carriers do not thread together tightly enough to hold the burrs perfectly parallel and ensure a precise grind. In practice, this prevented me from getting the fineness I needed without hearing the burrs chirp together periodically as they brushed together.

    Solution: Unscrew the top burr carrier. Wrap the top burr carrier threads with teflon plumber's tape (< $1 at any hardware store). Screw the top burr carrier back in (carefully to avoid cross-threading). It should screw in smoothly but with more resistance than before.

    Footnote: My Rocky Doserless was purchased in mid-2007 and had this issue. The burr carrier "slop" and resulting plumber's tape hack is common and easily found on coffee discussion forums. HOWEVER, it's entirely possible that your grinder will not have this issue at all or that Rancilio has corrected the issue in the latest revision of the grinder. Either way, it's an easy and cheap modification to experiment with.

    Bonus tip: The lid from a 0.7 qt "Click Clack" storage container makes an airtight fit with the Rocky hopper. You can pump the lid up and down to blow out any retained coffee grinds from the burrs and chute.

  • PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE IN CONSUMER PACKAGING

    Eyal Rosen | Sun, 08/30/2009 - 07:24

    The Rocky is truly built like a rock. I’ve had it for 3 years and it’s been working without a glitch. Grinding is one of the most underestimated aspects of the prefect espresso. people tend to spend on the machine while neglecting the grinder. But if you wish to get a great espresso you need a great grinder. No way around it. The Rocky is so successful because it gives professional results yet its cost and footprint are at consumer levels. That’s the one grinder I recommend to all my friends.
