The quiet rotary pump and works with an internal water tank or mains water at the flick of a switch. The new two-piece adjustable feet make hight adjustment easy and a refined body design add to the beautiful finish that any great espresso coffee lover craves. We figured you would want to know a little more about the Rocket Espresso machine and what makes them the best home coffee machine, so here we go...
Rocket Espresso have take features directly from their commercial espresso machine range and given the Giotto Evoluzione Type R machine superior technology that is normally only found in full sized commercial espresso machines. With PID temperature control, insulated boilers and the Rocket Espresso 9mm boiler end plates, stability and temperature control is further enhanced. The use of a rotary pump ensures quieter 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.
The Rocket Giotto has become an iconic home espresso machine since the 1990's where Ennio Berti had a strong belief that the world is ready for a coffee revolution. The Giotto coffee machine, and Rocket Espresso brand, has gone through many iterations since the 1990's to become the legend it is today. Starting at the very end of the process, by creating the perfect espresso, the engineers work in reverse to create the ultimate espresso machine. Purpose built with the very best in traditional craftsmanship and technical knowledge, all to reflect the commercial machine experience at home. Yet everything about it is meticulously redesigned.
The 1.8 litres boiler construction is built with a lead free brass end plate to increase thermal retention, and then nickel plated for protection against copper oxidation. The thermo siphon system layout is completely re-configured allowing for the balance of the espresso machine which enables the ability to texture perfect milk and optimising perfect extraction temperature for the tastes and flavours of espresso, without delay. Cool touch Steam and hot water wands are incorporated. While the competition reduce their production costs with less expensive parts, and cutting corners, Ennio's machine is built with commercial grade components and manufacturing processes.
Rocket Giotto machines not only look and are finished beautifully, they are well thought of and designed to have a modern heart inside a traditional looking yet simple exterior. Temperature control is optimised through a PID controller drawing on 4 different signal parameters to ensure stability and optimum results in the cup.
An adjustable temperature display allows the user to select individual brewing temperatures for different coffee types and roast styles. Yet they have worked hard to keep flashy digital displays away from visible sight in order for the machine to be at one with the barista, allowing the barista to be present in the beautiful moment that is making espresso coffee. In this case they have hidden the digital display behind the drip tray to allow the barista to be present and focus on the espresso extraction and not shinny lights!

CoffeeParts Reviews
We believe the Rocket Giotto Type R is the best value home espresso machine. From here the best value is to spend on an awesome grinder. Any further spending on a coffee machine, although you do get more you also get diminishing returns when it comes to spending. In saying that if money is no barrier, then the Kees Speedter is the dream machine. In saying that, we are a little biased on both Rocket and Kees are Pedro Lara's favorite brands and he is close with both factory owners. And the Rocket Giotto Type R is a classic.
