Rocket R58 Cinquantotto
Rocket
Rocket R58 Cinquantotto is a premium dual boiler espresso machine built for exceptional temperature stability, precise control, and long-term performance. Handcrafted in Milan, Italy, the R58 combines commercial-grade components with timeless Rocket Espresso styling, making it an excellent choice for home baristas who want café-quality espresso and powerful steam performance in one machine.
At the heart of the R58 are two independently controlled insulated copper boilers, each managed by its own PID controller for precise brewing and steaming temperatures. Rocket's inclined boiler design further enhances thermal stability, helping maintain consistent temperatures at the E61 group head throughout extraction. This level of control allows you to fine-tune the machine for different coffees and roast profiles while brewing and steaming simultaneously without sacrificing performance.
The iconic E61 group head features a dual pre-infusion system that promotes even saturation of the coffee puck for balanced extractions and rich espresso. An external communication pod provides access to temperature adjustments, ECO mode, and a programmable 7-day timer. Once your settings are configured, the controller can be unplugged to preserve the machine's clean, polished appearance.
Powered by a commercial-grade rotary pump, the Rocket R58 offers exceptional flexibility by operating from either its 2.5-liter removable water reservoir or through a direct plumbing connection. Dual pressure gauges provide real-time monitoring of both brew pressure and steam boiler pressure, while insulated no-burn steam and hot water wands deliver outstanding usability for preparing milk drinks and hot water without excessive heat transfer.
Built with polished stainless steel, premium brass components, and Rocket Espresso's renowned attention to detail, the Cinquantotto delivers professional-level performance in a machine designed to last for years.
