Features and performance

We on Barista Espresso love to with Rocket Cronometro R you can now directly connect to a water source. The advantage of direct connection is that you never have to think about filling up the internal water tank and risk running the machine empty without water, which can damage the internal components. The other advantage is that through direct connection you can install a simple and good water filtration system such as, for example BWT as we recommend, where it filters out all harmful particles and you no longer need to descale the machine when you have such a suitable water filtration. Rocket is one of the first espresso machine manufacturers to include PID temperature control in their espresso machines with heat exchangers. PID means that the tolerance on temperature stability is only ± 1 degree.

The PID control is hidden behind the drip tray so as not to spoil the beautiful design of the espresso machine and can be adjusted based on four different settings that are adapted to four different roasting types. Rocket is also one of the few manufacturers who have modernized and improved their E61 groups. The function of the E61 group is to circulate hot water from the heating system to the brewing group to maintain a stable temperature.

What Rocket has done is to integrate a "dual" pre-infusion system in its Cronometro R, which means it has a so-called "static" pre-infusion chamber that lets through and saturates the coffee grounds which is also integrated with a mechanical part with a compression spring and piston successively releasing the pressure to give a smooth and stable brew to give the good aroma and the thick crema. Together with its well-thought-out E61 group and PID temperature control, Cronometro R can deliver extremely precise espresso shots and dominates its price range in the market.

Internally, the Cronometro R has a 1.8 liter heating element with an output of 1200 watts which has integrated level gauges to remind you when it's time to top up About you have not chosen to directly connect the espresso machine and for safety reasons the machine is switched off About it notices that the water level is way too low. Rockets Cronometro R also has height-adjustable legs and a "no-burn" steam wand.

One of the reasons we love Rocket espresso machines are their accessories. They always include a complete training guide with a USB stick with extra content to help you get started with your espresso machine. Also that they include high quality full metal tampers which not many other manufacturers do.
