rocky mod #1

nobody's perfect. not me, not silvia, not even rocky.

rocky's got a little "finger guard" right above the burrs, so you won't poke your finger down there and end up with meat and bone chips in your espresso.

the problem is, occasionally the beans get stuck and need a little push. but with the finger guard, a push cannot be given, so i have to knock the grinder around. that's no fun, and it doesn't always work too well.

so i removed the finger guard so that i may flick the beans down the hole as necessary, fingers be damned. turns out, though, the finger guard is what holds on the top burr. so i got to take out the top burr.

man, that thing is fargen heavy! that's quality. so i voided the warranty and hopefully reseated everything properly. works just fine without it, although the beans jump around more since they're not bouncing off the underside of the finger guard. now when they get stuck i can poke them with a fork or something and hope i dont end up with fork in my espresso.

fun!
