  • Rocky Rancilio Upgrade Suggestions 🙏

    I am after some recommendations/suggestions for a grinder upgrade if people here would give “constructive” input.

    My machine is a Bezzera Mitica Top PID and my current grinder is the Rancilio Rocky. I do make more milk based coffees at the moment but still enjoy an espresso or long black. The usual beans I would use are along a medium/dark roast but I do also like lighter beans for espresso and Filter brews (v60 and chemex)

    Issues I am having are very inconsistent grind affecting shot time. Everything is weighed everytime and I am using a 20gm VST basket. I did also recently find out that the person who gifted me this grinder, had read that running rice through it is a great idea to clean out old coffee 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Budget wise I would be looking at around the $800-$1000 Aud…

    Looking forward to hearing what you guys can suggest.

    Thank you all​

    Niche Zero ticks all the boxes for what you are after.

    Or if you want more brightness and sweetness, the Lagom Mini delivers and has the advantage of having you covered for lighter roasts too.

    The rice thing is not recommended by most experts, can't recall why. I(Rice is sometimes recommended for seasoning burrs, not for cleaning so much)

    Just brush it out or use Grindz of Caffetto grinder cleaner (recommending by some grinder manufacturers such as Olympia Express and not by others. Go figure.
