Rocket Espresso Giotto Evoluzione Espresso Machine |
Looking for a little flexibility in your life? Rocket Espresso's Evoluzione model features easily convertible water source functionality, which means you can set it up to use the internal water reservoir or plumb it directly into a water source. With a quieter rotary pump, dual gauges for both boiler and brew head pressure readings and the renowned E-61 brew group, the Evoluzione is an elegant example of stellar form and function.

Crew Review
Pros
- Amazing Espresso - With it's time tested E-61 brew group the shots don't get any better
- No Burn Wands - Internally insulated steam wand and water dispenser keep the casing cool so you won't burn your hands
- To Plumb or Not to Plumb?- We love the flexibility of being able to plumb this model or simply use it as a tank model. This is a great option for those who want to start with a tank version and then later plumb it in - or vice versa
|
Cons
- Water Dispenser Design - When you turn the water dispenser inwards, it obstructs the brew lever, which is only a minor annoyance
|

How it Works
Pull succulent shots of espresso by following these basic steps:
- Turn the espresso machine on; brewing temperature will likely be reached in about 10 minutes
- While you're waiting for the machine to warm up, you can grind and tamp your espresso in your portafilter
- When brew temperature is reached, lift the lever to pull some water through the brew group, warming up all internal components prior to pulling your shot
- Insert your portafilter and initiate the shot by lifting the lever
- Once your shot is complete, push the lever back down to end the shot and release pressure -- you'll end up with a dry puck for disposal
- If you're making a latte or cappuccino, feel free to steam your milk at any time; the heat exchange boiler facilitates simultaneous brew and steam

Care
For detailed care instructions, please refer to your machine's user manual. We recommend that you also incorporate the following into your cleaning routine:
- If you plan to use your Evoluzione in plumbed mode, we recommend connecting it to an inline filter that removes water hardness; otherwise, you will need to descale the machine by converting it to reservoir mode. Read: How to Descale an Espresso Machine
- Clean the brew gasket with a cleaning brush daily
- Soap out water tank and drip tray every few days
- Optional: Perform backflush routine and clean the filter basket each week.
- Keep the stainless steel casing shiny with a microfiber cloth

Features & Accessories
We call the Giotto Evoluzione 'prosumer' because of its extensive professional-class features.
Components & Functionality
- Stainless Steel Case: Finely crafted polished AISI 304 stainless steel housing is beautiful and highly durable. Removable drip tray can be plumbed to a drain. Tray remains removable for easy cleaning.
- Tank (Pour Over) or Plumbable: Includes a toggle switch underneath the water door to switch between tank and plumbed-in modes. Also includes an adjustable pressure regulator on the bottom right of machine that can be used to calibrate the incoming line pressure to assure consistent shots whether in tank or plumbed-in mode.
- Nickel-Plated Boiler: The heavy duty-designed 1.8 liter, pure copper heat exchanger boiler has a brass end plate, which increases the thermal retention and steam power by about 40% in comparison to other boiler systems. The entire boiler unit is then nickel-plated, which doesn't react with or leach metals into the water -- it's also less likely to build up minerals so your Giotto will have less scale.
- Electronically Controlled: Microprocessor controlled automatic level control of boiler.
- Professional-Class E-61 Brew Head: The legendary E-61 brew group features a solid, lead-free brass end plate that aids in thermal stability and heat retention.
- Dual Pre-Infusion System: Mechanical pre-infusion system has a progressively working piston and static pre-infusion chamber, resulting in smooth coffee extraction and superior aroma, body and crema.
- Rotary Pump: The Rocket Evoluzione's rotary pump is relatively quiet.
- Stainless Steel Nozzles: Steam wand with a 2-hole tip and hot water wand are internally insulated so you won't burn yourself on them after use.
- Removable Cup Rack: You can pull off the cup rack to reduce the espresso machine's height.
- Generously Dimensioned: 20% higher volume (compared to other machines on the market) is paired with optimum thermosyphon system to quickly heat up and provide superior extraction.
