Owning the Rocket Espresso Giotto Cronometro R
This walnut accent variation of the Rocket Espresso Giotto Cronometro R is an exclusive customization offered by Whole Latte Love.
The Cronometro R is a heat-exchange espresso machine with a balance of stylish stainless steel and walnut wood accents for an earthy feel. This is a custom feature for Whole Latte Love customers and adds a natural warmth to any kitchen space. It also 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. The Cronometro version of the Giotto features a hidden shot timer just above the power switch with a digital readout that appears when the pump is activated and disappears when it's off, blending in with the stainless steel housing.
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 the temperature stable to the degree, and, once combined with this thoughtfully redesigned group, the Giotto Cronometro R is equipped to deliver consistent shots. Though it’s a small change, we’re a big fan of the blackened gauges on the Cronometro R version and think it adds to our impression that this is a lean, mean, brewing machine.
Internally, similar to the Cronometro V, the Giotto Cronometro 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 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 Cronometro R also features the same height-adjustable feet and no-burn steam wands as its 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 and 3 portafilters, a single, double and bottomless portafilters which comes with a 22-gram Baristapro basket for all of your espresso brewing needs. 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 Cronometro 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 Cronometro 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.

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

Reimagined E61 Brew Group
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.

No-Burn Stainless Steel Steam Wand
No-Burn Stainless Steel Steam Wand
Rocket Espresso’s patented cool-touch technology ensures that the steam wand is safe to use, since only the nozzle gets hot. The heavy-duty wand has a two-hole tip and is engaged with a large ergonomic control knob at the top of the wand. Below the steam wand is the steam pressure gauge; the machine is at steaming pressure when the gauge measures around 1 bar.

Subtle Shot Timer
Subtle Shot Timer
The Cronometro series takes its name from the inclusion of a shot timer above the machine's power switch. Pale blue with minimal lighting and flourish, the shot timers automatically switch on when the brew lever is engaged. The subtle design is intended to keep the timer from distracting from the beauty of the machine.
