A portafilter machine needs a fine grind, adjustable down to the micron. The Faustino comes in the same colours as the Appartamento; the Giannino and the Gravo go further in precision.

Heating, pump, water connection: the technical questions before you choose.
All about Rocket EspressoWhich Rocket machine is best for beginners?
The Appartamento TCA is the most compact, with adjustable temperature. The Giotto Fast V adds two pressure gauges, an OLED display and a heat-up time of under 12 minutes.
Heat exchanger or dual boiler: how do I choose?
Do you mostly make one or two milky coffees in the morning? A heat exchanger is enough: a single boiler, and you steam the milk while extracting. Do you make drinks back to back or often switch coffees? A dual boiler keeps the brew water at a stable temperature, set to the degree, independently of the steam.
What difference does a rotary pump make?
It's much quieter than a vibratory pump, holds its pressure more steadily and lets you plumb the machine directly into the water supply. At Rocket, that's the letter R: Giotto Fast R, Mozzafiato Fast R.
What is pressure profiling?
Varying the pressure during extraction rather than staying at 9 bar. On the R Nine One, you choose one of five programmes or control it with the paddle. On the Epica Precision, the lever controls the pressure, live.
Which machines can be plumbed into the water supply?
The rotary pump models: Giotto Fast R, Mozzafiato Fast R and Evo R Pelle, R58 Tune, Bicocca. The comparison above shows it for each machine, and each product's technical sheet gives the details.
How long does it take to heat up?
Under 12 minutes for the Giotto and Mozzafiato Fast, thanks to their insulated boiler. Heat-up times for the other models are given on each product page.
