What Makes the Rocket R58 Cinquantotto Special?

Having the ability to create robust, high-quality, energy-packed espresso is a great reason to invest in the Rocket R58, but many other machines offer this same capability. What makes the R58 spectacular goes beyond the big picture of espresso-making and into the smaller, important details that create the quality you’ll notice. Below, we’ve listed many reasons to get excited about this espresso machine:

Convenience

With the Rocket Espresso R58, you are given the convenience to power it with a direct connection to a water line or by manually filling the 2.5 liter tank, whichever one works easier for you. Plus, the engineers of this machine included a low water sensor that will turn off the power to the heater and sound an alert when it needs to be refilled. This means you don’t have to constantly monitor it for refilling – it will let you know itself!

Construction

This appliance features a polished, stainless steel casing and each one is hand-made in Milan, Italy. If that doesn’t speak for its authenticity, we’re not sure what will! Additionally, each machine comes with a 2-year warranty, so if anything happens, Rocket has your back. 

Power

With 110 volts, 15 amps, and 1400 watts, the Rocket R58 Cinquantotto provides tons of power to support the quality and quantity of espresso needs for your home or commercial kitchen. 

Why Should I Buy this Espresso Machine?

Rocket truly upped the ante in the coffee appliance industry with this espresso machine. As mentioned previously, it equips its users with copious power to energize their mornings efficiently, but beyond that, it does so without the loud noises that sometimes accompany espresso appliances. 

The R58 features a low-volume rotary pump and motor to make the espresso-making process as peaceful as taking the first warm sip. Additionally, it comes with a stainless steel no-burn hot water wand and no-burn steam wand, which keeps user safety at the forefront.

Our Verdict

Overall, we have observed the Rocket R58 to be a culmination of insightful engineering and user-focused construction. This machine features a semi-automatic lever, insulated boilers to keep machine components cool, two pressure gauges, a water source control switch, and even an external PID controller for the boilers that result in precise temperature control. 

 

As if this wasn’t all enough, Rocket also includes a 2-year warranty with each machine so that if anything ever happens, they have your back. Plus, with the instructional DVD that accompanies it, you’ll have no problem learning your way around this quality appliance.

 

We thoroughly enjoyed testing this machine in our professional kitchen and we’re positive you’ll love it just as much, if not more! We encourage you to explore the R58 today!
