Rancilio Rocky Doser V3 Espresso Coffee Grinder
Best precision flat burr grinder for home use and for those who demand the best. The Rancilio Rocky Doser has been a long time “gold” standard for espresso coffee grinders. This pairs nicely well with the Rancilio Silvia espresso machine! These grinders encompass the heavy motor that is found on the Rancilio MD40. The next step up from a Rancilio Rocky is therefore a commercial grade coffee grinder.
Features:
Grinding Adjustment
Stepped adjustments give you a wide range of grinding from fine to coarse. Easier to go back and forth between different grind settings.
Quiet operation
Generally not higher than 70dB(A). Rubber vibration-dampening feet help keep the grinder steady and reduce noise.
Tinted bean hopper & doser
The blue tint helps to avoid pre-mature deterioration of beans from light sources (such as sunlight).
Doser
All coffee grinds into this chamber and is then dosed out as you need. There is an opening that allows you to pour in any extra unused coffee grinds. This helps reduce coffee waste.
Portafilter Fork
For easy espresso machine filter handle placement & dosing. Sits very low to the base. Some portafilter designs can even rest on your counter for “hands-free” operation.
Instruction manual
Written in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian.

- Differences between V3 vs V2:
- The Rocky V3 Grinder now has a removable plastic grind catch tray.
- The Rocky V2 Grinder has the same stainless steel base as always. This is not removable.
- The Rocky V3 has replaced the Rocky V2.
- 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.
- The doserless chute cannot be purchased separately to add to this model.
- 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.
- There is no kit available to convert the doser model to a doserless model or vice versa.
- 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!
- 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.
- How to find the relative zero or “true” point on the Rancilio Rocky (doser or doserless).
- Make sure there are no beans in the hopper.
- 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.
- 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.
- Upgrading the V3 plastic base and removable tray on a V2: You will need to order these 2 parts: 38-123-677 and 38-123-678. there are 3 screws on the bottom to remove for replacement.

I have a Rancilio Rocky that is having trouble.
There is a loud rubbing sound, or perhaps grinding sound, from the motor area.
I have removed the upper burr component, and turned it on. The sound is still happening.
Is the motor replaceable?
Is something smaller, for example, bearings, replaceable?
thank you

To avoid the risk of damage to the threads, we recommend a cleaner such as Urnex Grindz sold on our web site. We will have another product soon as well as a spray to clean the hopper from oil build up.
Bob R1 –
I developed a taste for espresso at restaurants but only found great espresso while in Amsterdam a few years ago. Finally, a new cafe opened near work which had great espresso too. Problem was, when home 3 days a week, 32 miles away, it was an espresso desert. Since I couldn’t stay away from the cafe on work days I became more and more addicted but at home became more and more frustrated. So I took the plunge: I researched equipment and after attempting to work with a couple of the other ‘popular’ sources, settled on 1st-Line due to: 1) best price considering all the extras included; 2) friendly help and advice from Jim by phone and e-mail.
After receiving Rocky & Silvia my wife and I went through some trying times making kitchen counter space for the pair in a workable location. It took serious experimenting, rearranging, rewiring and mentally readjusting before they found their true home. They’re finally settled in and look perfect together side-by-side in stainless magnificence.
I now make the best espresso I’ve ever had in my life (over half a century and we’ll leave it at that). Jim warned me last August when ordering: “”you’ll never like coffee shop espresso again.”” Well, he was pretty much right.
Rocky is like a rock. He doesn’t budge from his appointed counter top spot when you flip on the switch and the heavy motor and blade torque up to speed. I grind one dose at a time on 4 or 5, just above blades touching, to a fine, uniform powder. I’ve modified as described on the web by removing the dosing plate and adding tape to all 6 paddle arms to get a clean sweep after a few clicks of the dosing handle. While disassembled for cleaning I marveled at the quality of the blades and other solid parts. This is one serious grinder. Continued at Silvia Review:

Bought it to replace a Solis Mastero. Got the model with the doser. Grinds fine and fast. Two minor things the ground coffee shoot doesn’t dump all the coffee. A little noisy after the grind letting know the power is still. Another than that a definate upgrade.
