I just upgraded to a Rancilio Rocky grinder, and it's making a big difference. Let me tell you about it.
The doser means I can grind a larger quantity and it's ready to go straight away - no waiting around for grinding. The doser also gets rid of a lot of the clumps I used to get from my Sunbeam..I need to do a lot less banging the portafilter to get the grounds to collapse now.
The pour is coming out much the same every time, not much variation.
The crema is thicker and darker than before, and the taste is fuller and sweeter.
Best thing I ever did was to ditch my smart grinders and get a real grinder. One happy home barista!
