Coffee Appreciation

I have now moved flats to Stoke Newington and the semi-pro grinder has followed me.

I have a spare Rancilio Rocky Doseur Coffee Grinder .

My brother and I pulled it apart a couple of weeks ago as it was used in a small french café for the last 10 years and had never been cleaned. Took a couple of hours to bring it back to a good clean standard and we just ground 100gr of coffee to check it was all operational.

You can see from the bean hopper colour that it is the older version but all parts are interchangeable with the more recent ones. It would be easy enough to turn it back into a doseurless one for home use.

1. The wall plug has now been changed to a UK one.
   
2. The hopper is missing its lid but you can use the doseur one on it then do the 'home use' mod (remove doseur, add steel portafilter holder).
   
3. The burrs work ok for filter but would need replacing (50mm) for espresso grind. They are about £30 with the 3 fitment screws on each burr.
   
   

Price wise, they tend to go for around £75/£85 on eBay but £50 is a round number.

The grinder is relatively compact:
The base of the grinder is 12cm wide by 24cm long.
The height of the grinder is 34cm

The grinder was also look less 'bulky' if you removed the doseur and replaced it by the portafilter holder and spout.

In terms of burrs, they are easy to get hold of - they slightly pricy in the UK than in the US.

Fitting is an easy job as I have removed them to clean them myself so you will have no hassle replacing them. It is a straightforward job and there is also a YouTube video if you need visual help.
