Rocket Espresso R Cinquantotto (R58) – Professional Dual Boiler Espresso Machine

Master the art of espresso with the Rocket Espresso R Cinquantotto. Handcrafted in Milan, this machine brings commercial-grade performance into the home kitchen. Featuring independent dual boilers and a high-precision digital control system, the R Cinquantotto is engineered for baristas who demand total thermal stability and the flexibility to extract any coffee roast to perfection.

The R Cinquantotto stands out with its iconic stainless steel chassis and the legendary E61 group head, now enhanced with an external touchscreen communication pod. This allows you to fine-tune your brew parameters while keeping the machine's vintage aesthetic clean and unobstructed.

Precise Dual Boiler Performance

At the core of the R Cinquantotto is a dedicated dual-boiler system. A 0.58-liter brew boiler and a 1.8-liter steam/service boiler operate independently, allowing you to pull shots and steam velvety micro-foam simultaneously without any drop in pressure or temperature. Both boilers are PID-controlled, ensuring laboratory-grade consistency for every cup.

Detachable Touchscreen Control

The TUNE-up for this model includes a removable touchscreen communication pod. This intuitive interface gives you control over boiler temperatures (PID), a digital shot timer, and a 7-day programmable "Auto-On" function. Schedule your machine to be fully heated and ready the moment you wake up, then detach the pod to maintain the classic, minimalist Rocket look.

Commercial Rotary Pump & Plumbing Options

Equipped with a robust commercial-grade rotary pump, the R Cinquantotto operates with near-silent precision. The machine offers ultimate versatility in water sourcing: use the generous 2.5-liter internal water reservoir for a portable setup, or use the included kit to plumb the machine directly into your home’s water line for a truly professional, endless supply.

Maintenance & Care

Regularly backflush the E61 group head using the included blind filter. The high-polished stainless steel exterior can be maintained with a soft microfiber cloth to preserve its mirror finish.
