The Milanese espresso-machine manufacturer has built its reputation both around reliability and innovation with a wide range of both domestic and commercial espresso machines that leverage mechanical and digital technology to help you produce perfect espresso-based drinks.

About the Rocket R9V espresso machine

It’s hard to convey exactly how impressive the R9V’s feature set is but it truly offers everything a specialty cafe-owner could want in a commercial espresso machine. Thanks to a large, dedicated steam boiler, and a dedicated PID-controlled brew boiler per group head, the R9V provides unrivaled temperature stability and consistency even in the busiest environments. While there’s no question that the R9V can keep up with any demands thrown at it, its potential for configurability is perhaps even more exciting, particularly for those serving specialty coffee.

Each saturated group head on the R9V features its own digital touch display, allowing the barista not only to configure shot times for each beverage type, but also to configure pre-infusion and pressure profiles for each coffee. These settings can be saved for future use, allowing you to create a different brewing profile for each coffee you serve. This means that the R9V can help you perfectly dial in your high-end single-origin coffees in ways that old grind setting adjustment cannot.

Despite all this functionality, the R9V comes in at a price point that is quite a bit more modest than many of the other flagship specialty machines out there. This makes it a strong contender for the South African specialty coffee purveyor.
