Product Description
Rancilio Rocky Doserless GrinderRancilio - 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.Learn more about the Rancilio Rocky:Crew ReviewPros & ConsHow it WorksCareFeatures & AccessoriesT

I have had my Rocky doserless grinder for nearly nine months and I have never regretted the purchase. This is one of the premier prosumer grade coffee grinders and delivers consistent quality for espresso through drip and (almost) up to press pot. It is solid, relatively quiet - I use mine in my office at a small university and do close my door to muffle the noise a little more - and a great option for grinding for each individual shot of espresso. Plus, its compact form factor and mechanical-cool look mean Rocky can sit on the corner of my desk, next to the Gaggia Factory lever machine that it serves.
The highlights of the Rocky are its solidity and quality, its ease of adjustment, and in the case of this doserless model, its ability to grind for each dose of espresso or brew with minimal holdover of grounds. Because the path from burrs to chute is so short and unobstructed, I can rap the side when I am done and dislodge any leftover grounds, or simply remove the two screws holding in the chute to use a brush to clear it. The metal hoop below is perfect for holding a Gaggia or Pavoni portafilter when grinding, and can be removed with one quick tug to allow you to grind into a filter, press pot, or bag. Rocky's weight keeps it steady - it is no flimsy lightweight - and I personally like that the power switch and grind switch are separated on the doserless model. Having the grind switch on the front is convenient.
The only things keeping Rocky from getting five stars have to do with the grind settings. On the coarse end of the adjustment, Rocky just doesn't quite make it to a real french press grind. This is an issue that was noted on coffeegeek reviews and which I didn't care about when I bought the machine, but which I now wish I had considered. Also, and this is a niggling point, the grind adjustments are stepped, not stepless. In a perfect world, I like to think that all grinders should be stepless like the Mazzer Mini that I occasionally get to play with. That said, the steps are close enough that I have not found a problem in getting the grind I desire, and the system of a release button on the collar that adjusts the burrs is slick and simple.
If you are in the market for a top end consumer coffee grinder, take a good long look at the doserless Rocky. When a Mazzer Mini would be overkill (and overpriced), but you want something closer to commercial grade than a Solis Maestro, Rocky hits the sweet spot.

I'm super happy with the Rocky. I've had mine for over five years and the thing works extremely well. I've taken it apart a few times to give it a good thorough cleaning and the parts on the inside all appear to be very well made. I recommend this grinder all the time and I give it a hearty thumbs up to anybody who cares about a quality cup of coffee.

Grinds coffee well, but that's it.
I picked up the Rancilio Rocky based on various reviews here and on CoffeeGeek.com. CoffeeGeek reviewers tended to be a bit more critical of this grinder than at Amazon. Read more
