Re: You Lousy Bastages!!!
Question:
What setting should I start with for my Rocky when I receive it on Monday? |

Your grinder will have a "zero" point. This is the number or line on the dial where you can hear the distict sound of the burrs slightly touching each other, usually a high pitch and worrisome sound for a new grinder owner. On a "stepped" grinder like yours, or one that has clicks indicating higher or lower adjustments, you'll find a number that works, although it can vary slightly from bean to bean etc. Although a Rocky owner would know best, I'd start somewhere around 5 and go from there. IMPORTANT NOTE: NEVER EVER ADJUST SETTINGS WITHOUT THE GRINDER RUNNING> a bean can get caught between the top and bottom burrs and frreze up your machine and fry the motor. |
Re: You Lousy Bastages!!!
So.....to find the zero point, unit must be on?
While on, adjust until I hear that sound you describe and then click back from that setting to around 5-8 from all I have read for espresso. Correct? Should be here in an hour or two as already on the UPS truck to be delivered to me. |
Re: You Lousy Bastages!!!
always when on, or you may adjust the setting smaller, wedging a bean inbetween the burrs and causing the motor to be strained or not allowing movement at all, making "bad things" happen, Carlos.

I can see how that can happen and glad I heard of it first before I did it myself. Logic would tell you to instead adjust when off yet that is the thing NOT to do. |
Re: You Lousy Bastages!!!
I have a feeling your grinder was tested before shipping out, so don't freak out if it has coffee grinds in it.
Try 5 on your machine and go from there when determining the best setting. You would be clicking forward though. |
