Cronometro Mozzafiato Type R

"There has always been a bit of confusion with the Giotto and the Mozzafiato, hence want to start by making one fundamental distinction. This version of the Mozzafiato is part of the Evoluzione R series where R stands for Rotatory Pump not to be confused with the Mozzafiato Timer Type V, which fits a vibration pump instead. As for the difference between the Giotto and the Mozzafiato, it's in the design only. Let's start then with the Mozzafiato: it is a single boiler heat exchanger coffee machine with the iconic E61 group and a PID to control the temperature. The copper boiler has a 1.8 L capacity and it allows you to brew and steam simultaneously. The rotatory pump is taken straight out of the commercial line machines and other than being incredibly silent, it also allows you to plumb it directly to your waterline. The machine also comes with the built-in shot timer and a hidden PID for you to choose the best brewing and steaming temperature. The E61 group head seen in other models in the Rocket line-up has been modified by Rocket in order to allow a 1-second pre-infusion time before the coffee extraction, a feature typically seen in the highest class professional coffee machines.

Pros

Rotatory Pump: Rocket’s Rotatoy pump is extremely silent and it allows more stable pressure compared to the Vibration pump model, definitely an option to go for if you have the possibility.

Design: we love the technological features that this machine has fitted in and how they manage to combine all this with a minimalistic design."
