The Rancilio HSD-ROC-SD Rocky is built as a ceramic flat burr grinder that produces consistent results especially for espresso drinkers who find this grinder as a grinder to have in the kitty.

We can lay out a long list of adjectives to describe the performance of the Rancilio Rocky but it still won’t be enough. It comes with 55 settings that delivers consistent and effective grind that current customers believe is unmatched by most save the more expensive, commercial grades.

The HSD-ROC-SD model is a doserless models and it is quite easy to maintain and use, once you get the hang of it. The machine itself is very intuitive – so the learning curve would be short. It also comes with an instructional manual which helps you get going once you unbox the grinder. The Rancilio Rocky doesn’t have static electricity so the grounds don’t fly around as in other models and it doesn’t make a mess after usage.

“Tough, heavy and built like a tank”. Those were the words used by a current owner who also believes that once you use this grinder, you would find it hard to buy any other model. The grinder comes with a 2 year warranty also.

The notable complaint we got about this Rancilio Rocky device is that it tends to have a little high level of grind retention, about one to two grams – which doesn’t sound much but it would add up over time.
