NEW! The Rancilio Rocky now comes with a removable grounds tray!

The Rancilio Rocky is arguably one of the most famous espresso grinders on the market today. It's been around for a while: over 10 years in fact, and not much has changed except for the growing respect that consumers and its competitors have for the grinder.  Not much has changed, until recently:

For years, people have been almost begging Rancilio to update the Rocky's look to match their other great consumer appliance: the Rancilio Silvia.  In 2001, Rancilio came through, and the stainless steel version of the Rocky was born.

The Rocky is a serious tool and investment, built around two key components - a commercial burr set (grind wheels) and a 166-watt commercial motor.  In fact, the motor in the Rocky is pulled from a commercial Rancilio grinder, the MD 40.  The result is a quiet, powerful beast that will slice evenly through beans, delivering you consistent, ultra fine shavings that will produce the best espresso you might ever have.

We regard the Rocky as the best overall grinder on the market today under $350.  Find out why - match a Rocky up to your home espresso setup, and you'll never look back.

See our Guide to Coffee Grinders for more information on choosing the right grinder for you.

Product Features and Benefits
Commercial Grade Grinding Burrs

Take one look at the 50mm burr set (grind wheels) on a Rancilio Rocky and you know they were built for serious business.  Tempered, hardened steel, cut to a precise teeth pattern that ensures longevity in wear and accuracy in grind consistency. They are also easily replaceable, should you need to change them.

Coffee Doser - What You'd Expect

The Rocky is meant to be an espresso grinder, and while it can do any grind with ease, it naturally has a doser built in, dishing out roughly 7 grams per click on the doser lever.  Nearly all portafilters will fit into the dosing receptacle allowing the Rocky to be used with virtually any espresso machine.

Smart Design Bean Hopper

The Rocky doesn't feature those huge bean hoppers that full blown commercial grinders sport; instead, it features a sensible and low profile 10 ounce capacity hopper, smoke colored to help reduce UV damage to the beans.  The Rocky can fit under many kitchen cabinets.

Seriously Powerful, Seriously Quiet

The Rancilio Rocky has the best grinder motor available today in a consumer grinder, bar none.  The motor comes from Rancilio's line of commercial grinders and features whisper quiet operation and serious torque control when grinding beans. This motor won't let you down: there are 10 year old Rockys in homes today that still work as well as the day they were bought.

 
Heavy Duty Housing and Construction

The Rocky weighs more than many home espresso machines, and the body tells the tale - lots of steel and metal.

 
From Turkish to Press Pot and Beyond

The Rocky has an almost infinite number of grind settings - the dial says 40, but it can be rotated beyond that, giving you almost 55 settings.  Thanks to the ultra-fine threading that adjusts the grind inside, the Rocky easily adjusts for fine-tuning that perfect espresso shot.  Although the Rocky was primarily designed for espresso use, it will easily grind fine enough for Turkish coffee, yet course enough for French Press coffee makers.
