Type of review

Well, pros (which are important), it's a very adjustable and fairly consistent grind, which helps to make great espresso and cappuccino. The downsides are that it's very difficult not to spill and ruin the ground coffee. Also, it often stops grinding because the grains in the hopper somehow stop flowing into the grinding mechanism.

Pros
  • Dosing chamber for professional espresso delivery in port filter
Cons
  • Purity

. expensive espresso grinder for extra fine and even grinding

This is the cheapest espresso grinder for extra fine and even grinding. Otherwise you will have to pay through the nose. However, there are a few features worth mentioning. 1) The portafilter holder is almost useless. I took it out and the machine was much easier to use. 2) Cleaning is a bit troublesome. The grinder can definitely be tricky to clean as the coffee disperses inside and I have found using the tip of a kitchen thermometer to be very handy to clean the coffee maker. Otherwise, that…

Pros
  • 50 mm commercial grinders
Cons
  • I will write later

Highly adjustable, heavy duty; skip the dosing nozzle

This grinder produces excellent ground coffee. The grind setting is extremely precise, allowing you to choose the ideal grind for everything from espresso to French press.

I was hoping that by doing this I could reduce the amount of spilled coffee. It helps with this problem, but with some inconveniences. For example, you have to…

Pros
  • Easy controls to adjust the degree of grinding. All devices are checked before packaging, so small traces of coffee may remain on them.
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Rancilio Rocky, is it worth it?

So far it has worked great for the first two months of use. I compared them to the Baratza Vario W, which, according to reviews, has had power issues over time. The only issue I've had with the Rancilio Rocky Doser so far is the grind size setting feature, which isn't a deal breaker. Just make sure when lowering the ground setting that you don't immediately turn on the motor when you meet resistance. If you twist it a few times, it will loosen the soil and return to normal operation. With Rocky

Pros
  • 0.65lb tinted bin
Cons
  • Nothing here
