Rocket Espresso R Nine One Black Matte Espresso Machine

A highly precise extraction profile management software

The Rocket Espresso R Nine One benefits from the technological expertise of the Italian brand.

Already renowned for the Pressure Profiling of the R60v , Rocket Espresso takes a new step in extraction management on this R Nine One thanks to a complete programming and extraction execution management software .

The software is accessible on the front panel via the backlit TFT screen and touchscreen, it opens access to programming ranges that can be customized .
This electronic management provides 5 pre-programmed extraction profiles , as well as a semi-automatic version that will give the end operator the ability to customize their extraction in real time using the manual paddle located on top of the group. A graph will display simultaneously on the screen.

The pre-programmed profiles also offer the possibility to save your own profiles by integrating your manipulation of the paddle , or by memorizing the time and pressure of each extraction phase via the screen.
This will allow the machine to electronically manage the pressure applied to the grind, during stages timed by the time you have defined, in order to reveal unsuspected aromas.
The magnetic rotary pump ensures instant control of the pressure injected onto the coffee puck. This responsive and precise pump also allows the R Nine One to be plumbed to the water supply .

The Rocket Espresso R Nine One machine incorporates a high-performance heating system which is the dual boiler .
The coffee boiler coupled with the saturated group , offers a 1.9 litre availability of water at temperature. This boiler and saturated group duo ensures the most precise thermal stability even when manual pressure control is implemented.

A unique aesthetic thanks to its innovative technology

The presence of the saturated groupas well as the screen and two manometersgive this espresso machine a decidedly distinctive style. Modernityis not only found in its heart, it is also manifested on the outside.

On the fully stainless steel front of this appliance, two manometers display the group pressureas well as the boiler pressure .
The boilers are designed to withstand time and prevent any degradation through the use of AISI 316L stainless steel .

The steam powerfrom the 3.6L capacity boileris simply remarkable. It will encourage you to perfect your latte art, and the steam activation by leveris a valuable asset, made possible by the straight steam wandcomparable to those on the brand's professional models.

Concerned about mastering their appliance, users also have an alarm systemsignaling low water, and a safety featureinterrupts all suction in case of water shortage, thus protecting the pump.

Our opinion:

Strengths  : The quality of finishes The saturated group The extraction programming software The multitude of available settings and the digital screen The precision offered by the manual paddle The steam power available

To consider : This machine requires a learning phase due to its advanced technology, patience will be needed to master it.

The expert's opinion  : All of Rocket Espresso's expertise is concentrated in this R Nine One. My coffee experience with this machine was literally exciting. To be honest, the combination of the saturated group, the thermal precision of the boiler and the nobility of the materials already make it an exceptional device, but the complete programming of the extraction is an aspect that defies words. After testing numerous settings (with the inherent failures), I managed to identify the optimal settings to sublimate my coffee. Without exaggeration, this allowed me to taste an exceptional espresso! The great benefit was the ability to instantly save my adjustments made with the manual paddle. Thanks to the generous capacities, I was able to chain tests and settings without suffering any loss of thermal stability, which is a real asset. The steam nozzle fully satisfied me and its use is intuitive, once the power is mastered, latte art is easily accomplished. I don't see what Rocket Espresso could have added to this machine to improve it, it takes time to be tamed but once mastered, coffee becomes an extraordinary experience, take my word for it! :)
