Improving upon the Rocky is not an easy task. The Rocky has been
one of the top home espresso grinders for years. The addition of the
doserless model gives you a fantastic grinder with a chute in place of
the doser. The chute reduces the amount of wasted coffee as well as the
amount of stale coffee often left behind in dosers. Grind only what you
need directly into your portafilter. The doserless Rocky 2009 in this
new edition, looks almost identical to the stainless steel Rocky with
the obvious lack of a doser. A main power switch is located on the
right of the machine. Another "push and hold" switch on the front of
the grinder is used to start and stop the grinding. The holding fork
for the portafilter handle has been drastically redesigned and provides
a very stable platform to grind into. The Rocky 2009 Doserless is the
grinder of choice for most finicky home baristas due to its quality of
grind and durability. Please note that most coffee grinders are tested
at the manufacturer and coffee grounds may be found in the grinder as a
result. Rancilio is in the process of updating the look of the Rocky
Grinder, it may ship with either a rose tinted or blue tinted bean
hopper.
This Stainless steel version has a stainless steel back panel and base with a heavy-duty black case aluminum frame.
This
grinder uses a "chute" instead of a doser traditionally found on
semi-commercial grinders. A retaining fork holds your portafilter
handles as you grind directly into it. A doserless grinder will reduce
wasted and staled coffee by grinding only what you need. No coffee is
left behind.
The Rocky can be quickly and accurately adjusted
using its 55 different grind settings. To make the adjustment you just
push down on a release lever and turn the bean hopper. You can quickly
and easily change from course to fine. It can grind your beans into a
fine powder for Turkish coffee or espresso and even course enough for
French press. With a Rocky the most particular barista will be able to
fine-tune their extractions to perfection.
The Rockys motor
is legendary. It is the same motor that Rancilio uses in the Commercial
MD40 grinder. It has a high temperature overload switch to prevent
possible damage if a stone gets caught in the burrs.
Like the
motor the grinding burrs on the Rocky are the same ones that Rancilio
uses in the commercial MD40 grinder. They are the flat plate style and
50mm in diameter that are even designed to handle a commercial load.
To turn the grinder on and off you just have to flip the switch that is located on the lower left front corner.
The
bean hopper is made of rose tinted plastic that is designed to help
keep your coffee fresh. A cover helps seal in the freshness. The bean
hopper can hold up to 10.5 oz coffee.
