Rocket Espresso

Hand-built precision from Milan.

About Rocket Espresso

Rocket Espresso builds its machines by hand according to the Italian idea of Fatto a Mano—handcrafted with meticulous attention to every detail. In the heart of Milan, a small team of craftspeople and innovators works with the same dual ambition that defines the brand: to preserve the classic Italian espresso tradition while driving it forward. This is evident throughout the range, where the design language is restrained and timeless, while the features span everything from classic kitchen machines to more experimental platforms for precise brewing control.

In this collection, you’ll find three clear sections. First, the machines: models with Heat exchanger systems for those who want Rocket’s classic workflow in different formats, and models with Dual boiler systems for those who prioritize greater control over temperature, recipes, and extraction. Then come the grinders, with the Faustino series aimed at compact home setups, while Spluga is suited to those who want a faster workflow and greater capacity. Finally, the accessories that bring the station together—from dosing funnel, Portafilter, and Tamper to knockbox, milk pitcher, tamping mat, Tamper station, and water filter.

Machines with Heat exchangers

This part of the Rocket range is for those who want classic espresso and steam capacity in a more direct, everyday-friendly format. The main differences concern Size, pump choice, connection, and how flexible the machine needs to be in your routine.

Apartamento

Apartamento

Compact Heat exchanger machine with pressurestat control

Appartamento is the entry point for those who want Rocket’s classic Heat exchanger platform in a Compact format. It uses a pressurestat instead of PID temperature control, making it the more traditional choice in the family for those who prioritize simplicity, Size, and classic Rocket character.

Appartamento TCA

Appartamento TCA

Appartamento with PID for more precise temperature control

Appartamento TCA builds on the same Compact concept as Appartamento but adds PID temperature control. This makes TCA the more updated choice for those who want greater control over brewing temperature without leaving the convenient Appartamento format.

Giotto V Fast

Giotto V Fast

Giotto design with the same technology as Mozzafiato V

Giotto V Fast has essentially the same specifications as Mozzafiato V Fast, but with Giotto’s more angular and distinctive design. Compared with Appartamento TCA, it offers PID temperature control and a faster heat-up time of around 10 minutes instead of approximately 20 minutes.

Giotto R Fast

Giotto R Fast

Giotto design with fixed water connection as an additional option

Giotto R Fast matches the Mozzafiato R Fast in specifications and differs primarily in design. Like the V version, it has PID temperature control and fast heating in around 10 minutes, but here you also get the option to connect the machine directly to the water supply for a more permanent installation.

Mozzafiato V Fast

Mozzafiato V Fast

PID-controlled Heat exchanger machine with faster heating

Mozzafiato V Fast can be seen as the next step up from Appartamento TCA: the same benefit of PID temperature control, but with a faster heating time of around 10 minutes instead of approximately 20. This makes it particularly interesting for anyone who wants a more seamless everyday workflow without moving up to a fixed water connection.

Mozzafiato R Fast

Mozzafiato R Fast

Like Mozzafiato V, but with the option of a fixed water connection

Mozzafiato R Fast builds on the same foundation as Mozzafiato V Fast, with PID temperature control and fast heating in around 10 minutes. The major difference is that the R version can also be connected directly to the water supply, making it better suited to a more permanent and advanced coffee station at home.

Porta Via

Porta Via

Portable Rocket with PID temperature control

Porta Via clearly stands out from the other models by being Portable. At the same time, it has PID temperature control, giving you better temperature management in a format designed to go beyond the fixed coffee corner.

Dual boiler machines

Dual boiler technology provides greater temperature stability by using two separate boilers—one for brewing and one for steam. All three machines have an internal water tank and the option of a fixed water connection, making them suitable both for advanced home baristas and environments where the machine is used frequently.

R58 tune

R58 tune

For precise control and flexible adjustment

R58 Tune offers adjustable pre-infusion time and control over the end of the extraction for more customized brewing. The removable touchscreen makes it easy to fine-tune settings and work more actively with recipes and extraction behavior.

Bicocca

Bicocca

Fast, precise, and built for multiple users

Bicocca offers up to two volume-based recipes, adjustable beverage volume from 10–1000 ml, adjustable pre-infusion, and adjustable extraction time. It has two preprogrammed shot modes for single and double espresso, handles back-to-back shots at 30-second intervals with less than 1°F deviation, and steams milk to 60°C in approximately 18 seconds. It suits home baristas, offices, and smaller cafés where multiple users share the same machine.

R Nine One

R Nine One

Advanced-level profiling control

R Nine One offers up to five brewing profiles with five stages each for personalized control over pressure and brewing time. With a fully saturated brew group, control over pre- and post-infusion, and variable programmable flow control, you get consistent extraction and a very high degree of adjustability.

Rocket grinders – flat burrs and stepless micrometric adjustment

The Rocket grinders in this overview are designed for espresso-focused use and feature flat burrs and stepless micrometric adjustment. The range includes both compact options for home use and a larger model for a faster-paced workflow. The main differences lie in burr size, user interface, dosing functions, and how clearly each grinder is positioned for home use or a more intensive workflow.

Faustino 3.1

Faustino 3.1

Compact entry-level model for the home barista

Faustino 3.1 is the most compact model in the comparison and is ideal for those who want a smaller grinder without compromising Rocket’s espresso focus. It has 50 mm flat burrs, grinds at approximately 1.2–1.8 g/s, and is powered by a 310W motor. Compared with the models higher up in the range, it is slower and less powerful, making it a more accessible option for everyday home use.

Giannino

Giannino

A step up in capacity and speed

Giannino builds on the compact format but takes a clear step up in performance. With 55 mm flat burrs, a grinding speed of approximately 1.8–2.3 g/s, and a 390W motor, it offers more speed and capacity than Faustino 3.1. It is ideal for those who want a small grinder on the counter while still benefiting from a faster workflow and a little more power for everyday use.

Fausto

Fausto

Larger burrs and a more relaxed workflow

Fausto marks the move into a larger and more robust class, with 65 mm flat burrs, a grinding speed of approximately 1.6–2.9 g/s, and a 500W motor. Compared with Giannino and Faustino 3.1, it offers larger burrs, higher power, and a broader operating range, making it an appealing choice for those who want more capacity and a grinder that feels more relaxed during more frequent espresso preparation at home.

Spluga

Spluga

Faster grinding with the same burr size

Spluga uses 65 mm flat burrs, just like Fausto, but stands out with a higher grinding speed of approximately 2.6–3.3 g/s. Its motor is rated at 480W, making it slightly lower in wattage than Fausto, but in practice it is clearly geared toward a faster workflow. For those who often grind several doses in succession and want more speed than the smaller models offer, Spluga provides a clear step up.

Super Fausto

Super Fausto

Larger 75 mm burrs for higher speed

Super Fausto takes another step up with 75 mm flat burrs, a grinding speed of approximately 4–5 g/s, and a 500W motor. Compared with Fausto and Spluga, it offers larger burrs and significantly higher speed, which becomes noticeable when you want faster grinding and more capacity for more intensive home use. It is a model for those who prioritize speed, size, and a strong presence at the station.

Bentwood x Rocket H75 GBW

Bentwood x Rocket H75 GBW

Grind by Weight and the most advanced in the range

Bentwood x Rocket H75 GBW clearly stands apart from the other models by using Grind by Weight instead of timer control. It features 75 mm flat burrs, grinds approximately 7 g/s, and is powered by a powerful 800 W motor. Compared with Super Fausto and the rest of the range, this is the most advanced and highest-performing option, developed for those who want maximum speed, high precision, and a more professional workflow.

Accessories that complete the station

The Rocket range doesn't stop at the machine and grinder. It also includes the details that make the workflow cleaner, smoother, and more considered: a dosing funnel for less waste, a Portafilter and Tamper for puck preparation, a tamping mat and Tamper station to protect the counter and provide stability, a milk pitcher for milk-based drinks, a knockbox for quickly handling used pucks, and a water filter that helps you take care of both flavour and equipment. These are the accessories for anyone who wants the entire espresso station to work as a whole—not just the brewing itself.

Portafilter

Portafilter

A stable base for even extraction

A well-built Portafilter provides the right weight, balance, and feel in your hand with every brew. It is a central part of espresso preparation and affects both workflow and precision when preparing the puck.

Tamping mat

Tamping mat

Protects the counter and provides stability

A tamping mat provides a stable surface when you tamp while also helping protect the work surface from marks and spills. A simple accessory that makes the espresso station more practical and thoughtfully designed.

Knockbox

Knockbox

Easy handling of used pucks

The knockbox makes it quick and clean to empty the Portafilter after brewing. For anyone who makes espresso every day, it contributes to a better workflow and keeps the station tidier between each shot.

Dosing funnel

Dosing funnel

Less waste, better control

A dosing funnel helps you get the coffee into the Portafilter with less waste and more even distribution. It makes puck preparation easier and suits anyone who wants to work more precisely at home.

Tamper station

Tamper station

Stability at every step

A Tamper station provides firm support for the Portafilter during tamping, making the work both more comfortable and more consistent. It is a popular accessory for home baristas who want to improve their routine.

Tamper / Distributor

Tamper / Distributor

Even puck preparation from the start

A Tamper or distributor helps you distribute and compress the coffee evenly before brewing. The result is better control over extraction and more consistent espresso in the cup.

Milk pitcher

Milk pitcher

Precision for milk froth with the right control

A milk pitcher with the right shape and balance makes it easier to steam milk evenly and pour with greater precision. For anyone who wants to master cappuccinos, lattes, and latte art at home, it is an essential tool at the espresso station.

Frequently asked questions

Here are some quick answers to help you choose the right option from the Rocket range.

What is the most important difference between a heat exchanger and a dual boiler here?

In this collection, the Heat exchanger machines are the more classic choice if you want Rocket’s traditional workflow in the kitchen, often with a simpler approach to daily use and several different formats. The Dual boiler machines suit those who want to work more with temperature stability, recipes, and control over extraction. If you are mainly looking for a reliable everyday machine, the first group is often the right place to start. If you want to fine-tune more actively, the second group is more relevant.

How do I choose between Appartamento, Giotto, Mozzafiato, and Porta Via?

Start with how and where the machine will be used. Appartamento is suitable when space is limited and you want a more Compact option. Giotto and Mozzafiato are for those who want to move up to the Fast family, with the main choice then being based on the design and whether you want tank operation or the option of a fixed connection, depending on the version. Porta Via is the obvious choice when portability is essential and the machine should not be tied to a permanent location.

Which grinder is best suited to a Rocket machine at home?

For most home baristas, the Faustino series is the natural partner: a Compact format, Stepless adjustment, and Programmable doses. Choose Spluga if you want larger burrs, a larger bean hopper, and a faster workflow that feels more relaxed when grinding many shots in succession.

Why should I add accessories right away?

Because they affect everyday use more than you might first think. A dosing funnel reduces waste, a tamper mat or Tamper station makes puck preparation more consistent, a milk pitcher improves the preparation of milk drinks, and a knockbox keeps the station clean between brews. A water filter is also a wise addition to protect the equipment and provide better conditions in the cup.
