Overview

Quality: Meet technology with the Rocket Espresso R Nine One. Built with the utmost in home espresso in-mind, the R Nine One builds from the design of Rocket Espresso's commercial brethren with a saturated group, stainless brew and service boilers, and programmable dosing. The R Nine One adds to this formidable foundation with both manual and programmable pressure profiling—giving you 5 profiles for any coffee recipe imaginable. Profiles are set through the R Nine One's color touchscreen, or by hand with the group-mounted control knob. Other class-leading features include power scheduling to preheat your machine before use, PID controller temp management, and a full-stainless case and frame. If you're looking for the next step in Italian espresso machines, the R Nine One is hard to beat.

Features
  • Dual Boilers: Both 1.9-liter brew and 3.6-liter steam boilers feature stainless steel construction and boiler insulation for excellent temperature management.
  • Saturated Group: A fully-circulated water path keeps the group head temp-synced with the brew boiler, bringing added consistency to your shots.
  • Pressure Profiling: Design shot profiles for long preinfusions or declining pressure—and anything in between. The R Nine One can be programmed for 5 pressure profiles or used manually.
  • PID Controller: Electronic control over temperature provides easy adjustments for different coffees and intrashot stability.
  • Volumetric Dosing: Program shot length by the milliliter for each pressure profile.
  • Auto-on Timer: Set your R Nine One to wake up before you do! Program up to 2 heat cycles every day of the week.
  • Sturdy Stainless Steel: A full-stainless case, frame, and portafilters bring a sturdy build—and a premium look—to your kitchen or bar setup.
    • Pros
      • Profiling Options: Pressure profiling gives enthusiasts unprecedented ability to play with shot flavor—from recreating classic lever machine shots to pour over-like low pressure cups of coffee.
      • Temp Stability: A PID-controlled brew boiler and a temp-regulated group make for great shot consistency.
      • Steam Pressure: The ample-sized steam boiler offers good pressure and recovery between drinks—even on common 15-amp power.
    • Cons
      • Touchscreen UI: While the R9 One's touchscreen is necessary for the crazy amount of customization offered, the interface seems dated and clunky compared to other machines on the market.
      • Read the Manual: Make sure to keep the manual handy! The amount of programming packed into the R9 can be a little overwhelming.
