Frequently Asked Questions - Rocky SD RANCILIO

How do I adjust the grind size on the Rancilio Rocky SD?

The Rocky SD features a stepless adjustment mechanism. Turn the hopper to the desired setting while the grinder is running. The finer the grind, the tighter the hopper position. Start with a medium setting and adjust for espresso, filter, or French press.

Is the Rancilio Rocky SD suitable for espresso?

Yes, the Rocky SD is designed for espresso. Its 50mm flat burrs and stepless adjustment allow precise grinding for espresso, producing a consistent particle size. It can also handle other brew methods.

How do I clean the burrs?

Unplug the grinder and remove the hopper. Remove the upper burr by turning it counterclockwise. Use a brush to clean the burrs and grinding chamber. Avoid water on the burrs; use grinder cleaning tablets if needed. Reassemble carefully.

Can I use the Rocky SD for pour-over or French press?

Yes, the stepless adjustment allows you to set a coarser grind for pour-over, French press, or other methods. However, because the grinder is designed for espresso, it may produce some fines at very coarse settings.

What is the burr size and type?

The Rocky SD uses 50mm flat steel burrs. These burrs are durable and provide uniform grinding for consistent extraction.

Does the Rocky SD have a doser?

No, the 'SD' stands for 'Doserless'. It grinds directly into a portafilter or container. This reduces retention and waste compared to doser models.

How much coffee does the hopper hold?

The bean hopper holds approximately 300 grams of whole coffee beans.

What are the power requirements?

The grinder is available in 230V/50Hz or 120V/60Hz versions. Check the label on your unit. Power consumption is about 140 watts.

How do I replace the burrs?

Disconnect the grinder. Remove the hopper and upper burr. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws holding the lower burr (requires removing the adjustment collar). Install new burrs and re-calibrate alignment. Refer to the service manual for detailed steps.

Why is my grinder making a loud noise?

Possible causes: beans stuck in the burrs, burr misalignment, or foreign objects. Turn off and unplug. Check for obstructions and clean. If noise persists, inspect burrs for damage or wear. Re-align if necessary.

Enjoy your perfect coffee everyday

If you love Italian expresso, you and your friends are also going to love Silvia. We imagine home espresso machines and their accessories as if they are trusted companions that make you feel as if you are in a coffee shop. However, there's a catch, you are not sitting at the table, you are instead the one who fills the portafilter with freshly

grinded coffee. And it's you that places the cup under the spouts and allows the coffee to puor into the cup, while the aroma fills the room. And it's still you that become a barista at home.
