Retail Rancilio burr grinder in Bay Area?

May 1, 2009 3:53 PM

Anyone know a place in the Oakland, SF, or surrounding area where I can buy a Rancilio Rocky no-doser coffee grinder tomorrow? Sweet Maria's isn't open Friday or Saturday.

Trying to shop locally, and it's not easy.

Sweet Maria's would be my first choice but since they're closed, I'd call Blue Bottle and see if they sell them.

Blue Bottle (on Beach St. in Emeryville) only had whirley bird grinders when I was there on Monday. The only burr grinders I recall seeing there are Solis/Barratza grinders.

tula- think about the Baratza Vario instead. I just bought one after 4 years as a Rocky man (doser) and am so happy I made the switch.
