The Rocket espresso machines in comparison

The legendary E61 brewing group

For many years, manufacturers of high-quality espresso machines have been using the revolutionary Faema invention from 1961. The solid brewing group maintains a stable temperature and is designed to automatically pre-infusion the coffee grounds during the brewing process. The manual lever control of the E61 brewing group is also very easy to use, but allows the ambitious barista plenty of flexibility for their craft.

The new control unit

The new control unit is equipped with a touch display, making the functions easy to control. The touch display can be attached to the side of the holder and removed if necessary. The following new features are integrated: Eco Mode (can also be deactivated) Timer: Two times per day can be set. This allows you to perfectly adapt the portafilter to your drinking habits.

Rocket Cinquantotto R - Stylish Italian design

The typical large dials for steam and water, the capital R, and the classic design – a Rocket remains unmistakably a Rocket . On the Rocket Cinquantotto Dual Boiler with PID, the two pressure gauges for boiler and brewing pressure are stylishly backed with black scales, and the PID display is discreetly installed. This gives the Rocket a very uncluttered look in stainless steel and with beautiful structural details.

Shot Timer - The perfect extraction every time

Rocket Espresso has installed a shot timer in the Cinquantotto for setting the optimal brewing time for the mechanically controlled E61 brewing group. As soon as the lever is flipped, the programmable timer begins. The usual "counting" while "pulling" an espresso is no longer necessary, and the brewing process can be easily stopped after the optimal 20-27 seconds. This allows time, for example, to prepare the milk for frothing or to monitor the coffee flow from the portafilter.

Reduce temperature fluctuations with PID temperature control

The complex aroma of the coffee reacts to even small temperature fluctuations during the brewing process. The digital PID temperature control in the Rocket Mozzafiato R espresso machine measures the temperature using a sensor directly on the boiler, allowing it to quickly compensate for small fluctuations with its powerful heating system. In machines without PID control, the temperature is usually controlled mechanically via the boiler pressure. Such a pressure-controlled pressure switch is significantly slower to respond and operates with a temperature difference of several degrees.

Cinquantotto R - Portafilter machine with Eco Mode

Sustainability is also a top priority for semi-professional espresso machines. The Rocket Cinquantotto features additional insulation for this purpose, and Eco Mode can be easily activated during extended standby periods. Eco Mode further saves energy by lowering the core temperature. Upon restart, the machine is fully operational again in a short time.

Household portafilter machine with professional rotary pump

Rotary pumps are standard equipment in large professional machines for the catering industry. They offer a larger and more stable flow rate than the vibration pumps commonly found in household appliances and allow operation with a fixed water connection or, as in the Cinquantotto, with the internal water tank. Rotary pumps are also significantly quieter in operation—instead of the noticeable hum of a vibration pump, there is only a quiet whirring sound. Rotary pumps are extremely durable and typically operate maintenance-free for the entire life of the machine—as long as they don't run dry.

Conclusion:

A compelling espresso machine for the home or small office! Great features and an attractive design, with the black scales on the two pressure gauges and the large, signature "Rocket" dials for water and steam. A PID, rotary pump, and large boiler volume ensure professional brewing conditions, and the massive E61 brewing group is still among the best available in the semi-professional sector. A compact espresso machine with great features for ambitious home baristas with high standards.
