What our customer's say!

"Hate the grind switch location!", I have owned this grinder for about 6 months. I like its solidity and it does a good job of grinding coffee. I only use it for espresso grinding and to get the right type of grind, I have to put it about 4 steps away from the maximum grind. I am not sure that the maximum grind would be fine enough for Turkish coffee. The one thing I REALLY don't like is the location of the grind switch and the fact that you need to push hard on it to make it work. Awkward and painful for the finger. I recently went to visit Salvatore in Solvang, CA, maker of one of the best espresso machine on the market that I am proud to own and they showed me their grinder. How wonderful it was to see the grind switch located right under the spout. On their machine, when you put the portafilter on the metal hoop, you automatically push on the grind switch with the portafilter. A wonderful improvement from having to hold your finger on a hard switch while holding the portafilter with the other hand. Even though Salvatore's grinder sells for $450, for that extremely convenient feature alone, I would have bought it instead of the Rancilio had I known about it. The Salvatore machine is also stepless, another improvement on the Rancilio. Anyone interested should look at it on Salvatore's website: http://www.salvatore-espresso.com/Grinders.html.

"Robust and consistent", First of all paying over 300$ for this grinder ( almost 400$ here in canada) was not something i wanted to do. But you know life is not always what you tought it is... im the knid of guys who always research for the ultimate deal. you know finding that unknow deal, the 50$ well keeped secret thing that work like a 500$ thing... well there none in the grinder world.

but the fact is there... the only cheaper option are made by solis and baratza.But cheaper mean cheaper in term of contruction quality ( well that what i read numerous time). the gaggia seem to be ok , but the rocky seem to got an edge over the gaggia for around the same price.

final world, the grinder is consistent.i choose this one over solis and baratza for the built quality plus the resell value is really high. there are report that solis and baratza may fail more often then the rocky. At the point i am right now i see no need for finer ajustement a stepless grinder can give me.

"Calibration issues", It would have been nice if the correct calibration instructions had been included with the shipment. I used the instructions for calibration included in the manual which resulted in extremely course grind. It took several calls to customer service only to find out the correct calibration instructions needed to be sent to me. Now, why could they not have sent this in the first place and not have the customer pull out his or her hair, thinking the machine was defective? Really stupid business practice!

"The grinder? The doser?", The grinder makes a huge difference in espresso, when you take advantage of its precision. On my last lot of beans, a grinder setting of 12 produced something like brewed coffee, while 10 justified the price of this machine. For me, anyway, it takes time to find the right balance of coffee amount, grind, tamping, and extraction time. New beans need a new balance.

As to the doser: If you usually grind for one espresso at a time then you seriously do not want the doser getting in your way.

"Rocky Grinder", We love our coffee. We've always ground our own and used good beans. We bought a nice new espresso machine several months ago, and buy high-quality coffee like Intelligentsia. We enjoyed the coffee we made, and I thought a high-quality grinder would really top things off.
The pros: It looks good, is of very sturdy construction, is easy to understand, very convenient to fill with beans and not have to pour beans every day. Easy to grind to almost any consistency. Only messy if the operator is messy, like my husband.
The con: I'm just not sure I can taste a $300 difference in my daily espresso. It's good, no doubt - but is it really that much better than before? We have not yet, but are considering, taste tests to see if we can discern between the Rocky and our old blade grinder. We sure thought we were coffee experts (snobs!) and bought into the "the grinder is the key to perfect coffee" idea, but just aren't sure it makes THAT great a difference for us. The quality of the coffee is the most important factor, I believe.
The product does what it says and does it well. But is it truly necessary for a very good cup of coffee? That is up to your palate to decide - ours said eh, maybe not.
