Rocket Cronometro Giotto Evoluzione R with DF64

Rocket Cronometro Giotto Evoluzione R 1 Group Domestic Espresso Coffee Machine

Also available in Mozzafiato.

Features taken directly from our commercial espresso machine range give the Evoluzione machines superior technology that is normally only found in full sized commercial espresso machines.

Now with PID temperature control, insulated boilers and the Rocket Espresso 9 mm boiler end plates, stability and temperature control is further enhanced.
The use of a rotary pump ensures quiet yet robust pump performance and allows the user to have the machine draw water from the internal machine reservoir or alternatively connect the machine directly to the water supply.

Some people consider the domestic espresso machines built by Italian company ECM in the 1980’s as legendary. When we at Rocket Espresso purchased the rights to build those very machines, we certainly thought so.

We then set about turning the legendary machines into the finest handmade espresso machines. Our machines had to be beautiful and made with meticulous care and attention to detail.

More importantly the machines of Rocket Espresso had to be capable of producing the finest espresso.

Firstly, it makes no sense to store your expensive coffee beans in the grinder’s hopper – they simply get stale and after even a day in the hopper your grinder setting is out and needs to be adjusted, finer and finer trying to get a good flow and good crema. Then when your hopper is empty you add fresh beans and your extraction chokes because now you’re too fine and have to spend time trying to get your setting perfect again.

Secondly, you’re not tied to one bean. Mix it up a little and use different beans every time, don’t forget that decaf before bedtime if it’s your thing.

Thirdly, no waste (enough said).

We encourage you to find which steps work best for you, but this seems to be the workflow we got into:

1. Weigh beans
2. Place beans in blow hopper
3. Secure dosing cup
4. Turn grinder on
5. Let it grind all the beans
6. Press blow hopper several times
7. Dose into portafilter
