Rocket espresso machine model comparison
Dec 28, 2021
We have received more questions about the differences between the different Rocket espresso machine models. This is a comprehensive article that gives you a complete picture of the important aspects that differentiate between the different models and can help you About You are looking for a new espresso machine or are thinking about upgrading.
Rocket Appartamento

A very good espresso machine with a heat exchanger. It does not have PID temperature control and also does not have an insulated boiler. (An insulated boiler contributes to a more stable brewing temperature and is an important aspect for obtaining good espresso). The espresso machine has a vibration pump that cannot be connected to water. A heat exchanger is suitable for people who like to make several coffee drinks with milk as it is possible to brew both espresso and froth milk at the same time. Something to consider is that espresso machines with heat exchangers give you less control over the brewing temperature and therefore there are techniques such as flushing hot water through the brewing group to maintain a more stable temperature.
Cronometro V Mozzafiato and Giotto

Is a heat exchanger that Rocket Appartamento but has PID temperature control and has insulated boilers. The Cronometro V also has rails made of metal at the cup tray unlike the Appartamento which has plastic rails. The espresso machine has a vibration pump and therefore cannot be directly connected to a water source. The term Mozzafiato and Giotto is only a design difference and are identical espresso machines internally.
Rocket Cronometro R Mozzafiatio and Giotto

Is a heat exchanger, insulated boilers and with PID temperature control. The difference between Cronometro V and R is that Cronometro R has a rotary pump. The advantage of a rotary pump is that it has a longer lifespan, is quieter and can be connected directly to water.
Rocket R Cinquantotto

R Cinquantotto has a double boiler. This means you have a steam boiler and a brew boiler separately, unlike the other models which only have one boiler for both. The advantage of double boilers is that you have more control over your brewing. Double boilers can be a great advantage when you change beans often and thus be able to fine-tune the brewing temperature using PID control while not affecting the steam quality for the milk frothing. This makes R Cinquantotto a very fast and efficient espresso machine. Something that can be a disadvantage is that because the espresso machine has double boilers, household electricity cannot provide full power to both boilers at the same time and About If you brew many cups at once, the machine may need to recover to get back to the correct brewing and steam temperature. The espresso machine has a quiet rotary pump and has several functions on its touch screen and can be connected to a water source.
Rocket R60V

The R60V is another double boiler espresso machine. The biggest difference between the R Cinquantotto and the R60V is that the R60V has pressure profiling. This means that you have full control over the brewing pressure during brewing and can thus produce tones in the coffee that could not usually be produced with an espresso machine without the possibility of pressure profiling.
