Rocket Espresso Giotto Cronometro R espresso machine.

One of the main advantages of the Rocket Giotto Cronometro R espresso machine:

• The pump is a rotary pump (quieter and also allows connection to the water network).
• The addition of a digital timer on the front panel allows you to control extraction time at a glance.

The Rocket Espresso Giotto Cronometro R has better boiler insulation and a PID system allowing for better temperature stability for optimal results. It also features two pressure gauges to monitor boiler and pump pressure.

The Rocket Giotto Cronometro R features a rotary pump, the difference with the Cronometro V model which contains a vibration pump.

Rocket Espresso Giotto CronometroR incorporates many advantages that already make it a very high-end product compared to other brands offering similar products:

• Finely crafted body in stainless steel
• E-61 coffee group : The legendary E-61 group recognized for its stability and thermal insulation
• 1.8 L boiler : Copper boiler connected to brass heat exchangers (increases thermal retention and steam power by approximately 40% compared to other boiler systems), 9 mm thick ensuring stability and optimal temperature control.
• Boiler level control : Automatic control microprocessor for boiler level.
• Pre-infusion system : Allows optimal coffee extraction (positive effects on superior aroma, body and crema)
• PID system: maintains and controls boiler temperature for optimal results.
• Rotary pump
• Insulated wands : 2-hole steam wand, hot water wand, both internally insulated (to avoid burns after use).
• Removable cup support The cup support can be removed to reduce the height of the espresso machine.
• Imposing format : A capacity 20% higher compared to other models available on the market
• Removable drip tray
