Rocket Espresso produces the finest espresso machines in the tradition of ‘Fatto a Mano’ translated to, ‘made by hand’. During a visit to their factory in Milan Italy, Pedro Lara fell in love with the brand, and understood how their small team of craftsmen produce both premium commercial espresso machines, beautifully made with meticulous care and attention to detail. The factory was super neat with clear processed, and Andrew Meo's attention to detail and brand shows thought the build quality which now has set bench-marks in the coffee machine industry.
Rocket also now have an impressive commercial espresso coffee machine lineup starting with the Boxer which is a perfect premium compact machine for a small cafe or office, to the RE and the range topper R9 which engineer Ennio Berti opted for a fully saturated group to further enhance machine temperature stability through PID control in the stainless steel multi boiler machine.
The start goes back to the early 1990's when espresso machine engineer Ennio Berti resigns from one of Italy's major espresso machine manufacturing companies. He believes the world is ready for a coffee revolution - a commercial quality domestic espresso machine. Starting at the very end of the process (the perfect cup of coffee), Ennio works back to create the ultimate espresso machine, and Andrew and Daniele have continued with this process. Rocket coffee 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. 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. They now have applied these principles to thier awesome commercial coffee machine range.
Rocket is partnership between New Zealander Andrew Meo and Italian Daniele Berenbruch who bring philosophies from opposing sides of the world into their Milan factory to make the best espresso machines they possibly can. We believe this has been a winning combination and one which will continue to grow from strength to strength. Most importantly, Pedro Lara is strongly against selling products for the sake of selling products, he loves and resonates with Andrew and Daniele's ethics and this to us is key to promoting beautiful products to a beautiful world.
