I didn't mark the burrs or replace the screws to their exact holes and it works perfectly. Points to its engineering. I did take a vacuum to it, that helped the job along nicely.
Heads up... I got into the habit of using the plastic spout to direct of 'shovel' the coffee as it fell into the portafilter or in larger quantities when I ground a few days worth. I didn't realize I was impeding the proper flow of the coffee. I SERIOUSLY fkd my grinder. This saved me. Grinder new again.
Could you take the hose of a shop-vac to that bottom chamber - After brushing it out, just do a 5 horsepower "inhale clean" on the lower housing? - Great Video BTW - Five Stars
Good idea - but I would guess that not the vacuum would not pull the caked on grounds off the sides of the grinding chamber - they are pretty gunky from the coffee oil.
I read that folks use Minute Rice to clean their grinders. That may be similar to the "pellets" you mentioned. I may give the rice a try since it's safe on the burrs and even if little bits of rice powder are left behind, they aren't going to hurt anything. Note that this is not DRY RICE which is very hard, but rather, Minute Rice which should break down easily while cleaning the burrs.
although it is early to clean my grinder's burrs, since i'm using rocky sd (doserless) for two weeks, thank you for this great video. my only complaint with the rocky is, there is some ground coffee left in the exit chute, but i heard this is the problem for all FLAT burr grinders.
I like my Rocky very much - it seems to give a good consistent grind. They are not cheap but from looking at the way its made I expect it will last for decades. If I were to buy one again I would buy one without the doser - the doser seems to just get in the way of loading the portafilter.
Thanks for the tip ... It s time to clean out my Rancilio Rocky grinder

You can not possibly be an engineer because that demonstration was just way to easy to understand!

Great video! Thank you very much. I am going to replace my burr's today and plan to also use an air compressor to blow the debris out.

it has flat burrs, so far as I have seen the conical ones have a pretty obvious cone burr in the middle
