Detailed Product Features
Commercial Quality Grinding Burrs
There's no mistaking the 50mm grinding wheels for anything but professional quality. Made of hardened, tempered steel and engineered in a precision cutting tooth design, the Rancilio Rocky Coffee Grinder has both perfected a uniform, consistent grind as well as ensured long wear. Should you eventually need to replace them, they're simple to remove.
Convenient Direct Dosing System
Unlike the original Rancilio Rocky Doser Grinder, this “doserless” model allows you to dispense fresh ground coffee directly into your filter basket (in your espresso machine portafilter), as well as a filter basket for a drip coffee maker. This design makes the Doserless Rancilio Rocky Grinder an excellent general purpose coffee grinder because you are not limited by a dosing hopper. Simply put, you can grind your coffee beans and dispense the grounds directly into any container you wish.
Coffee Bean Hopper
The Rancilio Rocky has a modest sized bean hopper to allow it to fit under most kitchen cabinets. This 10-oz hopper is made of light blue tented, molded plastic.
55 Different Grind Settings
Finding the grind setting you want is easy with the grinding dial. The ultra-fine threading allows you to go beyond the last setting up to 55 different grinds and all the places in between. With that amount of versatility, you can happily grind for espresso with precision, and you can also grind for drip, Turkish or French press coffee brewing.
Quiet, Powerful and Safe
The motor on the Rancilio Rocky coffee grinder was developed for the commercial environment where power and noise reduction was a must. No other motor can compete with the Rancilio Rocky Grinder's whisper soft operation and torque for grinding coffee beans. The motor is directly connected to the cutting wheels for “direct drive power.” In fact, most of the weight in the Rancilio Rocky grinder is from the motor itself, which weighs in at a hefty 11.5 pounds! Expect years of trouble free use with the Rancilio Rocky coffee grinder in your home.
As an extra pre-caution, the Rancilio Rocky features a great safety device. Should the grinding mechanism jam or become overheated, a thermal protection devise shuts it down to prevent damage to the motor or the grinding mechanisms.
