Rocket R Cinquantotto
The Rocket R Cinquantotto, an update on the ever popular R58, is a dual boiler espresso machine, with a dual PID system controlled by a removable touchscreen display. Each boiler uses a dedicated PID to regulate the temperatures within each, and allow you to make adjustments to accommodate different roast profiles. Updated cup railings, legs, side panels, and the inclusion of shot timer are much appreciated updates to Rocket's signature dual boiler machine.
Features and Performance
Rather than integrating the PID into the front of the R Cinquantotto, Rocket opted to create a touchscreen device which can be removed from the side of the machine as desired. The touchscreen device is a lot more than a PID controller, however. With it in place, you can turn off the steam boiler, set on/off times for different days of the week, turn on ECO mode to save power, and switch between the water tank or a direct water line connection. Separate from the PID, a subtle shot timer is located directly above the power switch, and will begin counting when the brew lever is engaged.
At its heart, the R Cinquantotto features a 0.58 L brew boiler and 1.8 L steam boiler, which pump out shot after shot and fuel a powerful steam wand. Said steam wand is no-burn, along with its hot water counterpart.
As on their other machines, the E61 present on the R Cinquantotto features Rocket’s innovative dual pre-infusion system, which utilizes a static chamber as well as a mechanical working piston which progressively pre-infuses to ensure a fully saturated, crema-rich extraction. The R Cinquantotto also features a commercial-grade rotary pump, which, on top of being incredibly quiet, offers the option to plumb the machine directly into a water line.
Why You Should Get It
This rock ‘em sock ‘em Rocket won’t let you down. It’s reliable, innovative and thoughtfully designed. The touchscreen display is a knockout addition, letting you control boiler temperatures with precision, turn off the steam boiler if you like, set on/off times for each day of the week, and a lot more.
Commercial Rotary Pump
The R Cinquantotto is equipped with a commercial grade rotary pump with external pressure adjustment controls, allowing users to fine tune pump pressure while viewing the dedicated pressure gauge. Rocket reconfigured the internal architecture of the pump to increase efficiency and reduce noise creating the one of the quietest rotary pumps around.
Dual PID Temperature Controllers
Both the 0.58 L brew boiler and 1.8 L steam boiler have dedicated PIDs regulating their temperatures to the degree. Users can easily make temperature adjustments to each on the touchscreen display to accommodate various roasts, and, for added convenience, it can be removed from its place on the side of the machine.
Direct Water Line Connection
A dedicated control switch allows users to alternate between drawing water from the 2.5 liter reservoir or plumbing the R Cinquantotto directly into a water line. We recommend incorporating a BWT water filter into the plumb line to remove scale building minerals from the water, thus improving the coffee taste and longevity of your machine.
Touchscreen Communication Pod
The included touchscreen device can be easily plugged into the side of the machine where it rests at a fixed position, angled up for easy reading. Temperatures in the brew boiler and steam boiler are displayed individually and can be raised or lowered to your preference.
