What Makes the Rocket Giotto Evoluzione R Special?

Every espresso machine can produce espresso; this much is obvious. However, quality brews will not come from every machine. The difference between the appliances that can create delicious, high-end espresso and those that cannot are found in the details. 

Below, we’re going to get into the exciting subtleties of the Rocket Espresso Giotto Evoluzione R that make its espresso worth fighting for!
