  • Rocky Mod - Click Clack lid

    Hi All,

    Trying to do the Click Clack lid Mod for my DL Rocky.


    However I am unable to find them in the shops. I have check Woolies, Kmart, Coles and no luck.

    Does anyone know who sell them in Australia?

        Youre welcome.

        Silver? Wow, times have changed.
        Used to be a lot plainer than that.

          Curious,.. could someone please measure the diameter of the rocky hopper. This click clack lid might be the solution to my problem with the lid on my GranMacinino. It rattles badly(loudly) and I need to hold the lid down just to stop the noise from the lid while Im grinding. I cannot continue a conversation at all while grinding and when I grind 3 times (and this grinder is slowwwwww),.stopping to press/tap grinds down in the basket between,.. it is annoying having to keep saying sorry and interrupting conversation and have to explain to visitors that I need to grind again etc. Its a fairly noisy grinder in anycase, but if I can at least stop some of the noise and have my hand back,..Id be happier.

          Going out tomorrow and may get to Big W,.. I know I could measure my hopper and just measure to click clack tomorrow,.. but I just wanna know everything NOW,lol. ;D

            I took my hopper with me to Big W when I went looking.

                Hi all,
                I am putting on my ignorant cap here - what is the benifit of the click clack lid? It it a noise reduction/vibration reduction thing, or something else?

                Remy I would never have thought logically enough to take the hopper with me either Id have come home with one to find it missed by 2mm, then took it back and tried to find one that was close bought it home........ repeat, curse, repeat, curse and so on ;D

                  Shannon,

                  The lid forces air through the grinder and dislodges some/most of the stray grinds in the chute.

                  It just happens that the lid fits the Rocky perfectly, so people say.

                  Brett.

                    Found the sizes they come in here ...silver ones too.. oooooh pretty  

                    The smallest size is too big for my hopper *snif*.

                      Thanks for that Brett. My gray matter seems to remember something about this before I got my hands on the rocky, its coming back a bit now.

                        The Macap is between click-clack sizes.

                          If you have one of those Vacuvin storage containers (the one with the little pump) check to see if that lid fits. Mine fits my Rocky hopper PERFECTLY and saved me having to buy a Click Clack one.

                            Dont fret,.. theres still hope,lol. The smallest one (4-7/8" diam) which I thought was too big for my hopper,.. looks as though it will actually fit because the inside diameter of my hopper measures 4.5" exactly and so does the outside diameter of the neck of the lid (the bit that actually sits inside the container). So, a containet that is almost .5" larger than your hopper, might still fit. This is the silver lid however,.. the white lids looked a little different and I never measured them cos I want a silver one. I didnt buy it though because it was the last one of that size and broken.. everytime I squeezed the button thingys,. the white underside of the lid popped right off,..none of the others did that,..just the one I wanted. ::puts hand to forehead to feel the bumps from smackin head on BigW shelving twelveteen times::

                              Rocky and the click-clack lid

                              Hi everyone,

                              I was just wondering if anybody had experience with using a click-clack to reduce clumping while grinding as in this video http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=z21qba7nz98

                              I am currently using a pin and a yogurt container (WDT) with really good results. But it would be nice to speed up the process.

                              A search only reveals that there are a few people using them to clear old grinds. If anyone is using this method to grind with a doserless rocky I would be very interested to hear about the results. If anyone has info on what are the best lids to use and where they can be purchased that would also be great.
