Australia’s #1 Trusted Online Coffee Machine Retailer
Rocket Coffee Machines produces some of the best home espresso machines in the world. Designed and hand-made in the heart of Italy, each machine is built for perfection and designed to integrate seamlessly into your kitchen. Globally renowned for their sleek and minimalistic style, a Rocket coffee machine is a piece of art & coffee maker wrapped into one.
We are huge fans of Rocket Espresso’s Coffee Machines. Their lineup of home coffee machines is particularly impressive and positions the Rocket brand as a dominant force in the 2-6k price range for home espresso machines. These coffee machines are simply excellent! The range includes the compact vibration pump e61 group head heat exchange Rocket Appartamento, as well as the well-known Rocket Giotto and Rocket Mozzafiato models.
Rocket Espresso R Models feature a rotary pump. Rotary pumps are quieter, more durable and allow the machine to be connected directly to a water mains line if desired (or run off the internal water tank).
They’re ideal for serious home baristas who want commercial-grade performance at home, our range of Rocket R models include: Rocket Espresso R Cinquantotto (R58), Rocket Giotto Cronometro, Rocket Mozzafiato Cronometro R and Rocket R Nine One.
Rocket Espresso V Models use a vibration pump. Vibration pumps are slightly noisier and typically found in high-end home machines that run exclusively from the internal water tank.
They’re reliable, lower in cost compared to rotary models, and still deliver excellent espresso quality. Our range of Rocket Coffee Machines V models include: Rocket Appartamento and Rocket Appartamento TCA.
In short:
R models = rotary pump (quieter, plumbable)
V models = vibration pump (internal tank only)
Both share the same beautiful Italian build quality, PID temperature control, E61 group head and dual pre-infusion system — it just comes down to your preference for pump type, plumbing options and noise level.
Except for the Porta Via model, all Rocket Espresso machines come with hot water taps, making it possible to brew a few shots of espresso and add enough water from the hot water tap to create an Americano.
Rocket Espresso is co-owned by Andrew Meo and Daniele Berenbruch. They bring their differing philosophies from opposite ends of the globe to their Milan factory to create the finest possible espresso machines.
Compared to other prosumer espresso machines, maintaining a Rocket Coffee Machine is not overly difficult. While all prosumer espresso machines require some effort to maintain, this machine can last for decades if you keep it clean and well-maintained.
Rocket Espresso machines are produced at a small production facility located in Milan, Italy.
In general, a rocket coffee machine is a reliable option for individuals seeking a high-quality espresso machine that is long-lasting and available. These machines enable you to enjoy coffee shop-quality espresso in the comfort of your own home.
Rocket Espresso machines are among the most popular prosumer brands that we sell. These machines are attractive, and Rocket as a company is excellent. Their products are typically quite dependable and produce excellent quality beverages.
Yes, they do. They manufacture several commercial machine models, including the R 9V, R 9, RE Doppia, RE A Timer, and Boxer. They are less frequently used for commercial applications than some of the other commercial espresso machine brands, but they are good machines. In fact, we would beg to argue that rocket produce some of the finest espresso machines available on the market.
Most Rocket Espresso machines are not particularly portable. These machines are well-made and include a lot of metal in their design. As a result, Rocket espresso machines are quite heavy! Even the compact Appartamento model weighs over 50 lbs without water in it. The Porta Via is a cool-looking machine designed by Rocket that comes with its carrying case and is meant to be portable.
Built like commercial espresso machines, but the size of a home coffee machine
