http://www.coffeegeek.com/forums/espresso/machines/105539The above link is a great little mod to flush out grounds from a Rocky. I thought the list would be interested in it for those with Rocky's.
Don't pick lemons.

I have used the Click-Clak and it did work quite well. Then, someone 
suggested the Eggstractor. I found one at a Duane Reid clearance for 
about$2.50.
I have to say the Eggstractor works better for me...I notice that no 
matter which of those methods I use there are still some grounds 
left, which will come out by tapping on the spout..

Tapping on the spout will eventually lead to it fracturing. It is really not 
that strong . Better to brush the rest out with a flux brush as used in 
soldering.

but preferably one that hasn't been used for soldering ;- )

I've tried them and I find it impossible to get them up into the 
spout. I actually drilled a small hole in the front and used a very 
thin pipe brush, but this was messy. Now, after using the 
Eggstractor, I just jiggle the cup I use to catch the grounds, 
hitting the spout and body of the grinder. I don't see where a couple 
of gentle taps on the snout is gonna hurt it, and if it does, I have 
an excuse to get one of those cool blue ones :-)

I take my vacuum (just the hose) and stick it on the end of the spout  
and turn it on.
Takes about 2 seconds and then its clean.
