Owning the Rocket Espresso Giotto Evoluzione R

An upgrade to the Giotto Type V, the Giotto Evoluzione R from Rocket Espresso retains all of the aesthetic features of the Type V while adding a few clutch upgrades. Like the Type V, the Evoluzione R is a heat exchange PID machine. Unlike the Type V, the Evoluzione R features a near-silent rotary pump, and can be plumbed directly into a water line to bypass the reservoir and cut out all those trips to the sink. Rocket was one of the first manufacturers to incorporate a PID into their heat exchangers, though it has now become an industry standard on high-end HXs, and it just goes to show their commitment to innovation. The PID is hidden behind the drip tray so as not to distract from the machine’s intricate design, and it can be adjusted across four settings to accommodate different roast styles. They’re also one of only a handful of manufacturers to make adjustments to the E61 group, which circulates water from the boiler through the group to aid in temperature stability and is a staple on most prosumer machines. Rocket integrated a dual pre-infusion system, consisting of a mechanical working piston which works progressively within a static pre-infusion chamber for fully saturated, crema-rich extractions. The PID controller keeps temperature stable to the degree, and, once combined with this thoughtfully redesigned group, the Giotto Evoluzione R is equipped to deliver consistent shots. Though it’s a small change, we’re a big fan of the blackened gauges on the Evoluzione R version, and think it adds to our impression that this is a lean, mean, brewing machine.

Internally, similar to the Type V, the Giotto Evoluzione R houses a large 1.8 L copper boiler and 1200 watt heating element, and, integrated sensors monitor the boiler and reservoir levels for low volumes, alerting you and, if necessary, shutting off automatically so as not to let the boiler run dry. Of course, plumbing the machine in eliminates this problem altogether, and allows you to use an inline filtration system to purify water to aid in espresso taste and machine longevity. The Evoluzione R also features the same height adjustable feet and no-burn steam wands as it’s counterpart. One of our favorite things about the Rocket machines are the accessories. They include a full color training guide complete with a USB thumb drive with extra content. Plus, rather than include a chintzy plastic tamper, Rocket throws in a branded metal tamper so you’re always ready to brew like a pro. The Giotto is, in a word, gorgeous. It’s a stand out addition to any home barista’s set up, and would be for years. If you prefer a more traditional look, the Mozzafiato Evoluzione R has all the same great features in a flat body style; for greater capacity and power, take a step up to the dual boiler R58.

  • Silent Rotary Pump

    The Giotto Evoluzione R 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.

  • Direct Water Line Connection

    A dedicated control switch allows users to alternate between drawing water from the 2.5 liter reservoir or plumbing the Giotto Evoluzione R 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.

  • PID Temperature Controller

    Generally, heat exchange machines require a cooling flush after steaming or before brewing a shot if the machine has been sitting; however, by integrating a PID to regulate the temperature, Rocket removes the need for a cooling flush. The PID temperature controller uses 4 settings to ensure the best results in the cup, and can be adjusted to accommodate different roast styles.

    gridimage-3
  • Reimagined E61 Brew Group

    In a traditional E61 brew group, hot water is constantly circulated between the boiler and brew-group to ensure proper brewing temperature. Rocket incorporates a dual pre-infusion system into their E61, which consists of a chamber and mechanical working piston, to aid the extraction and ensure the grounds are fully saturated upon brewing.

    Review of Giotto and Mozzafiato Machines from Rocket Espresso

    Back in 2007, Rocket Espresso came together to dedicate themselves to high end espresso and powerful commercial-grade machines for the barista at home. The word “Mozzafiato” roughly translates to “breath-taking” in Italian, and “Giotto” comes from the late Giotto di Bondone, an acclaimed Italian painter and architect from Middle Age...
