With my Rocky in hand, it's time for part 2 of my
Presso trial. Using the same equipment aside from grinder and same coffee as before, I dialed in the grinder. I few tries later, here's what I got

There's the shot I ended up with. I think the shot is still over extracted but didn't have time to keep trying. That being said, the taste wasn't bad so i kept it.

Here's the shots of manual and rocky side by side. I do think the manual looks better, but that's a product of coffee freshness and lack to time to further dial in the rocky. I have not been able to reproduce the shot on the right using manual grinder. Taste-wise i think even the over extracted shot was not bad and only a bit worse than the shot on the right. Again, coffee freshness has something to do with this. The grind was pretty even compared to manual as well. I think for someone getting into more serious coffee business, Rocky can really improve the quality of the coffee you're making with investing in a $1k+ machine.
