Today after only 2 weeks of light use, my Rocky stopped working - it was humming but not able to grind.
So I figured it was probably jammed....so I unscrewed the hopper to see what might be causing the blockage....I cleaned out everything from this angle but it still wouldnt work.
So I unscrewed the shoot that aims the grinds into the portafiller (well thats the theory) and cleaning out some hardened grinds inside the machine (between the bur and the output) and that did the trick - all working again.
Then I screwed back on the hopper and disaster - the grinds were course enough to sand the paint of my kitchen bench, even on zero.
So I took the hopper off wondering what the hell i had done...finally after repeating this a few times i noticed that the brass coloured thing that the hopper attaches to wasnt screwed all the way down ....so i tightened this and I managed to get it working to the point where the grind was back to normal.
The whole process seemed very random and I am not 100% convinced that the grind numbering is the same any more....
There is nothing in the manual that covers anything like this.
Anyone else experienced this?
