Rocket Espresso R58 V2

Owning the Rocket Espresso R58 V2 The R58 V2 is one of Rocket’s dual boiler espresso machines, where steam and brew water are housed in independent boilers which are each temperature-controlled by a dual PID system. The PIDs regulate the temperatures within each boiler, and allow you to make adjustments to accommodate different roast profiles. Rather than integrating the PID into the front of the R58, Rocket opted to create a handheld device which can be removed from the side of the machine as desired, which we think is innovative and functional. To bolster the temperature stability provided by the PIDs, Rocket uses the E61 group, which syphons hot water from the brew boiler, through the group, and back, to ensure the brew water always flows down a heated path. As on their other machines, the E61 present on the R58 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 ful
