Notes:

1. Each Rancilio Rocky grinder is repackaged by 1st-line Equipment before shipping out to you. Unfortunately, the original internal cardboard packaging by Rancilio can not withstand the rigors of UPS/FedEx, and there were many damaged shipments due to the original packaging not being adequate enough!
2. ALL Rancilio Rocky grinders are tested with coffee by Rancilio. You may find coffee grinds inside. They are also carefully inspected by 1st-line Equipment, LLC before shipment to you.
3. The doserless chutecannot be purchased separately to add to this model.
4. This grinder was designed in Italy to use smaller and less oily beans. You can use large and/or oily beans with machine by removing the finger guard. However you might have issues with large and/or oily beans not feeding into the grinders properly or the machine making a mess.
5. There is no kit available to convert the doser model to a doserless model.
6. 1st-line Equipment, LLC is an authorized Rancilio repair center and we handle the warranty repair for Our customers' Rancilio espresso machines! Our master technician alone has over 35 years in the coffee and espresso repair business! This is why so many customers choose 1st-line as their premier choice for Rancilio home products!
7. The settings on all rancilio grinders should only be adjusted while the grinder is powered on and running. If this is not performed, the burrs will get gunked up with grinds and the burrs will not be able to grind fine enough for you.
8. With the doser, there is no way to fill each individual chamber evenly. Best recommendation is to grind only what you need and dose everything out.
9. Please note that there are static issues with all grinders, even the highest quality models. We firmly believe that the static comes from the coffee beans. If you are having static problems with your coffee grinder, trying using a different blend of beans.

How to find the relative zero or "true" point on the Rancilio Rocky (doser or doserless).

1. Make sure there are no beans in the hopper.
2. While the grinder is powered on and running, briefly rotate the bean hopper to to the lowest numbered setting where metal-to-metal is heard.
3. Immediately back off to a higher setting. The point of metal-to-metal screeching becomes your relative zero point. Note that this point may be higher or lower than the numerical zero point on Rancilio Rocky grinders.
