ORDERING & DELIVERY Having had a very good experience ordering with HomeCoffeeMachines.ie previously, I was pleased to see that their pricing remains very competitive and that they still offer free overnight shipping on all orders over €50. Another big selling point for me is that they're a small Irish company, offer personalised support and even supply spare parts and a repair service for the products they sell if you ever need it. They're based in Galway and the shipping of my grinder to Dublin was very quick. THE MACHINE ITSELF AND USE The base frame of the Rancilio Rocky doser is the exact same as it's sibling, the doserless model, and that's a very good thing. It's weighty and feels substantial and sturdy; with a nice brushed metal frame. It compliments the Rancilio Silvia Coffee machine perfectly when parked alongside too. The things that I liked about the doserless model all remain with the doser model but it adds one new trick - it allows you to pre-grind some beans in advance and then dose the exact amount necessary into the portafilter. Each time you pull the handle, it doses 7g of coffee. Want a double shot, just pull the handle twice - it's that simple! Both the bean hopper and ground coffee container are dyed blue to prevent UV light ruining your fresh beans and grounds which shows a nice attention to detail in the design. PROS Grind quality - powdery smooth for espresso. Consistency - extremely consistent throughout each grind and when using different beans. Build Quality - robust and sturdy. I expect this machine to last a long time. My existing doserless grinder is going strong after years of daily use. Aesthetics - Slim, sleek design, metal frame that compliments the Silvia perfectly. Convenience - the doser model dispenses exactly 7g of ground coffee and saves you the hassle of grinding every single time. CONS Same as before, very few Lid - doesn't clip on or vacuum seal but not a major complaint.

Good advice on the items I needed and fast delivery. Also included an alternative cable without being asked. I look forward to dealing with Ciaran again in the future.

Excellent service and a pleasure to deal with.

Very reliable seller. Item arrived the next working day. Highly recommend

Excellent customer service and prompt delivery. I will use this site again for my future coffee needs!

I have to say that Ciaran was very responsive with the questions I had. The parts arrived promptly on Saturday morning - perfect timing!

Excellent service, ordered on a Friday evening and arrived on the Tuesday morning. This is my first proper espresso machine so bit of a learning curve for me and a lot of questions. Within an hour of every email seeking advice I had a detailed and helpful reply from Ciaran. Really good company to deal with. Would not hesitate to recommend to family and friends.

Exactly as described. Its nice having the same handle as the original silvia portafilter. Seal is a bit difficult to get but if you crank it all the way to the right it seals well. Very easy to adjust shots with a bottomless portafilter as you can see exactly what's happening

I rang Kieran to discuss descaling problems. He gave excellent advice. When I mailed with supplementary queries, his response was prompt and authoritative. Great to deal with an expert!

Excellent, hassle free service. I was on the brink of replacing it but now my machine is working like new!

My Rancilio Silvia now works just like it did 6 years ago!
