Rocket Espresso

We are very pleased to announce that we have partnered with Pro-Espresso, the UK official importer of Rocket Espresso machines for the home, and are one of their roaster partners and Rocket Experience Centres.
What this means is that we're able to demonstrate (and sell) Rocket Espresso machines and we currently have two machines and a grinder in our training room. If you've been contemplating buying your first espresso machine or upgrading then come in and have a look at these beauties.
The two machines we have available for demonstrations are the Rocket Espresso R Cinquantotto R58 dual boiler rotary pump machine and the Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA single boiler vibration pump machine. We also have the Rocket Giannino espresso grinder available to test.
Full details and RRP can be found here on the Pro-Espresso site, but here's a snapshot of the main features of the two machines as well as the Rocket grinder.

The Rocket R Cinquantotto, an update on the ever popular R58, is a dual boiler espresso machine, with a dual PID system controlled by a removable touchscreen display. Each boiler uses a dedicated PID to regulate the temperatures within each, and allow you to make adjustments to accommodate different roast profiles. Updated cup railings, legs, side panels, and the inclusion of shot timer are much appreciated updates to Rocket's signature dual boiler machine.

At its heart, the R Cinquantotto features a 0.58 L brew boiler and 1.8 L steam boiler, which pump out shot after shot and fuel a powerful steam wand. Said steam wand is no-burn, along with its hot water counterpart.

It’s reliable, innovative and thoughtfully designed. The touchscreen display is a knockout addition, letting you control boiler temperatures with precision, turn off the steam boiler if you like, set on/off times for each day of the week, and a lot more.

  • A dual boiler PID model offering the ability to increase or decrease the temperatures within each boiler
