Jul 16, 2018 The unit came with the Rancilio Rocky Grinder i just used the setting that was already in place for espresso. The pump does seem to be working fine I will try a different grind,waiting for the previous owner to back from holidays,he is a master roaster so I don't expect that he has sold me a faulty unit.The unit does appear to be well cared for.I at least intend to replace the new head gasket. Rancilio 10-705-638 Silvia V4 / V5 Stainless Steel Heating Element – 110V, 800W- Gasket Included $ 98.45.
