Hello all,
Sorry if this subject has been discussed before but I couldn't find any specific threads dealing with it.
I just received my Rocky doserless and Silvia today. After some setting up I'm reasonably happy with the results... BUT...
I noticed how much ground coffee was left in the spout of the Rocky, it seemed like a lot so I decided to see how much. (I thought I might be able to redesign and 3D print a better spout.)
After a thorough clean out (removing the spout and using a thin paintbrush to get right in, even slowly turning the whole mechanism a full turn in reverse, cleaning as I went) I found that there is about 6 grams of ground coffee left in the grinder.
This would normally be the first thing that comes out when I use the grinder next. I don't know about you, but I really don't like the idea that my first coffee in the morning will start with 6 grams of stale grinds.
This seems like a terrible design. Am I just supposed to dump the first 6 grams every time I use it to make sure I get a fresh grind?
I've read that some people only add the amount of beans that they will use. Does this actually work? Does it eventually spit all the coffee out if I just wait or does it always leave 6 grams behind ruining my first shot of the day every time?
(P.S. My idea of 3D printing a better spout would only improve it by a couple of grams, so not worth it.)
I'm starting to regret buying this grinder already and I've only had it for a few hours. Am I worried about nothing?
