Features
The Rancilio Rocky Doser Model grinder is specifically designed for grinding espresso coffee beans. It's modeled after commercial coffee grinders and is capable of grinding beans into a powder. This is especially important when you are grinding coffee for high-end espresso machines like the Rancilio Silvia or Audrey. The Rocky grinder also works well for most semi-commercial and heavy commercial espresso machines. We regard the Rocky as the best espresso burr grinder on the market under $350.00! It's great for home, office or commercial use.
There are very few grinders on the market today with a stronger, more lasting reputation than the Rancilio Rocky. With its 10-year plus track record, the Rocky grinder has proven itself to be the standard that others try to match when it comes to the home marketplace. The secret to the Rocky is the internals - much of what's inside is pulled directly from Rancilio's commercial grinder lineup, costing sometimes hundreds of dollars more. This is a true espresso aficionado's grinder, and is durable and precise enough that it often does duty in cafes and restaurants as a second, or decaf grinder.
Commercial Grade Grinding Burrs - Take one look at the 50mm burr set (grind wheels) on a Rancilio Rocky and you know they were built for serious business. Tempered, hardened steel, cut to a precise teeth pattern that ensures longevity in wear and accuracy in grind consistency. They are also easily replaceable, should you need to change them.
Convenient Dosing Lever - What You Would Not Expect - The Rocky is meant to be an espresso grinder, and while it can do any grind with ease, it naturally has a doser built in, dishing out roughly 7 grams per click on the doser lever. Nearly all portafilters will fit into the dosing receptacle allowing the Rocky to be used with virtually any espresso machine.
Smart Design Bean Hopper - The Rocky doesn't feature those huge bean hoppers that full blown commercial grinders sport; instead, it features a sensible and low profile 10 ounce capacity hopper, smoke colored to help reduce UV damage to the beans. The Rocky can fit under many kitchen cabinets.
From Turkish to Press Pot and Beyond - The Rocky has an almost infinite number of grind settings - the dial says 40, but it can be rotated beyond that, giving you almost 55 settings. Thanks to the ultra-fine threading that adjusts the grind inside, the Rocky easily adjusts for fine-tuning that perfect espresso shot. Although the Rocky was primarily designed for espresso use, it will easily grind fine enough for Turkish coffee, yet course enough for French Press coffee makers.
Seriously Powerful, Seriously Quiet - The Rancilio Rocky has the best grinder motor available today in a consumer grinder, bar none. The motor comes from Rancilios line of commercial grinders and features whisper quiet operation and serious torque control when grinding beans. This motor will not let you down: there are 10 year old Rockys in homes today that still work as well as the day they were bought.
Safety Mechanism - The motor is equipped with a thermal protection device that will prevent damage to the motor and other components in the event the grinding mechanism becomes jammed or if the motor should begin to overheat from excessive use.
