About Me

Espresso Lover since the mid 70's. I started out with a stovetop machine and my woodstove. From there I took the stovetop machine backpacking with the backpack stove. We took that stove and stovetop machine across Italy, stopping to enjoy the sweet treats along the way with a good espresso. From that I upgraded to the Rancilio Silvia and had her for 6 years. I now am NOT using a Rocket R-58 for my morning jolt because it failed me, same for the Ceado E37 grinder.

Thanks Mark! I am looking forward to the upgrade replacement for this grinder and will retire Rocky to evening decaf duties :-)

I too have used this machine since 2006 and have found it reliable, but a bit finicky with the grind, especially on a bean change. I just ordered a step-less machine.
Getting it re-calibrated takes time. Dismantle and re-assembly to clean is tedious too.
Rocky is a solid machine and has not failed to grind. I modified mine so the power cord exited the rear of the machine. It is noisy so I made a very thick pad that wraps around the bean hopper all the way down to the doser spout and that quiets it!!
All said, it is a good machine for the money.
