Hi guys,
The Rancilio Rocky I ordered arrived yesterday. It still had coffee grounds in it (Rancilio factory test the machines apparently), which were obviously stale. I have run a few baskets through now, and it is getting better with every basket (it initially had a strong 'supermarket' taste that goes hand in hand with staleness, getting less now), but there is still the smell of stale coffee in the hopper (and I'm assuming there is still stale coffee on the burrs). Is there a way you can detach the hopper to clean it? Should I be worried, or will the staleness go in time as I run fresh coffee through it?
