Rancilio Rocky Doserless V3 Espresso Coffee Grinder

Stepped adjustments giving you a wide range of grinding from fine to coarse. Easier to go back and forth between different grind settings.
Quiet operation

The blue tint helps to avoid pre-mature deterioration of beans from light sources (such as sunlight).

The power switch is on the right side of machine. The grinding switch is on front (next to the Rancilio logo). You must continually hold the grinding switch to grind coffee beans.
Instruction manual

Espresso Coffee Grinder Warnings:
- Changing grind settings: It is very important to only change grind settings when the unit is powered on and the burrs are in motion. If you do not do this, the burrs will ‘gunk’ up and render the grinder to only produce very coarse grinds or no grinds at all. To remedy this, you will have to open up the grinder to get access to the grinding burrs. This issue will be considered operator error for lack of following directions, and not be classified as a defective grinder.
- Electrical cord: For most grinders, the cord is placed between the packaging (foam or cardboard) and the underside body of the grinder. During shipping, it is normal for a bend or insignificant blemish/slice to damage the cord.
- Finding coffee grinds in a new grinder: Most manufacturers test their grinders with coffee beans before they leave their facility. Unfortunately, they are not always able to get every trace of coffee out of the grinders after testing. As a result, you may find coffee beans or grinds inside your grinder, or there may be grinds in the packaging.
- Static issues: 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, try using a different blend of beans.
- Electrical: To avoid electrical damage (which is not considered a manufacturer’s defect), please acquire and install a single-outlet surge suppressor rated at 1080 joules or higher. A surge without protection can damage a grinder at the power switch, the capacitor, the motor, or the wiring.
- Burr cleaning: For routine maintenance of the grinding burrs, we recommend using grinder cleaning agents. We do not recommend any removal of the burrs or the burr carrier for cleaning (unless necessary) as re-assembly can cause damage.
- Replacing burrs: NEVER use a flathead screwdriver and hammer to wedge under the burrs for removal. This could badly damage your grinder.
- This grinder was designed in Italy to use smaller and less oily beans. You can use large and/or oily beans with the grinder 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 doserless model to a doser model.
- 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 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 Rocky v2 (doser or doserless) - you will need to order these two parts: 38-123-677 and 38-123-678. there are three screws on the bottom to remove for replacement.
