I think the rocky is underpriced --
if you get one that looks good
and is well finished,
and you cut out that stupid cone over the bean inlet.

I bought a KA Proline some months ago following a long, trying tale of

fiddle with a burrs a bit to get it to do so. However, it will not
grind evenly...or at least I cannot make it do so. So...after an
initial honeymoon period, I put it on the other side of the bar where
it serves the Technivorm. Got myself a spanking new Rocky and thus far
it has done a very fine job.

What is your reasoning, for removing the cone over the inlet ?

Sometimes a bean dam will form in the orifices to the cone, blocking the
feed until the beans are given a stir. Only seems to happen with really
oily beans.
