Quick Overview
Simply the best? We think so! Rocket Espresso's (formerly ECM) Giotto Premium Plus is the pinnacle of the prosumer class of semi-automatic espresso machines. Polished stainless steel, simple design, the E-61 brew group, powerful steaming capability and ideal espresso shots make the upgraded Giotto Premium Plus a nearly flawless conversion of form and function.
Features & Functionality of the Rocket Espresso Giotto Premium Plus
- Nickle 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.
- Stainless Steel Case: Finely crafted polished AISI 304 stainless-steel housing is beautiful and highly durable.
- 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.
- Vibratory Pump: Pump features a special device to eliminate backpressure from the boiler, preventing blocks.
- Stainless Steel Nozzles: Steam wand with a two-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.
- Large, Easy-Access Water Reservoir: Easily access the 98-ounce water reservoir via the separate lid — you won't have to take all the cups off the top of your espresso machine in order to refill it.
- Low Water Sensor: Level control cuts the power circuit if water is low, with a microprocessor that automatically controls the level of the boiler and water reservoir. A low water level warning will let you know when you need to refill.
- Generously Dimensioned: 20 percent higher volume (compared to other machines on the market) is paired with optimum thermosyphon system to quickly heat up and provide superior extraction.
