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. We figured you would want to know a little more about the Rocket Espresso Giotto so here we go...
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!

About Rocket Espresso
In the early 1990's, 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. Everything about it is meticulously redesigned. The 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. 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 regardless of cost. He creates a visually stunning machine that is soon to become a classic.

Coffee Parts Giotto Review
We completely love the Rocket Espresso range of Coffee Machines. Their domestic home coffee machine line up really allows Rocket as a brand really to own home espresso in the 2-6k price range, with a home coffee machines that just rock! And the Rocket Giotto Type V is a classic. Just a quick note tho, for espresso drinkers with awesome grinders we recommend the Type R due to the rotary pump, yet either way any coffee lover help but fall in love with the Rocket Espresso range.
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.
