Rocket Espresso Milano
Engineering first
In Milan, every Rocket passes through the hands of an assembler before it leaves. No gimmicks: a stainless steel boiler, a heavy group head that holds its heat, parts you can take apart and replace.
That's why we chose Rocket: a machine you keep for years, and that we can service in our workshop.
-
Handmade in Milan
Assembly, adjustment and inspection in the Milan workshop, from the boiler to the stainless steel body.

The E61 group head
Born in 1961, this thermosiphon-heated group head remains a benchmark for stability. Rocket uses it on its heat exchanger machines.
-
Built to last
Professional-grade components and available spare parts: a Rocket can be serviced and repaired. We take care of it in Switzerland.
