Why we love the Rocket Giotto Cronometro Coffee Machine

• Sleek design: The stainless steel body and bold shoulders mean this eye-catching machine will shine in your kitchen. If you’d like to complete your home barista set up we recommend the Rocket Fausto Coffee grinder to go with this machine.
• More powerful: The rotary pump on this espresso machine is more similar to what you would find on a commercial coffee machine. It gives more consistent pressure throughout the coffee extraction, has a longer expected lifespan and is quieter than the Appartamento’s vibration pump.
• Thermal stability: The 1.8L single boiler is fitted with an easily adjustable PID temperature controller for improved consistency shot after shot.
• Shot timer: The inbuilt espresso shot timer will help you achieve the best possible coffee extraction.
• Mains water connection: This machine can be plumbed in (please fit a water filter). This means you can take advantage of the line pressure pre-infusion. This allows for even more experimentation in your espresso.
• Steam pressure: Finally, the steam pressure is both powerful and incredibly smooth. We really put this machine through its paces during road-testing and were able to consistently steam excellent milk for latte art.
