Specs and Details
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 Giotto is part of the Evoluzione R series where R stands for Rotatory Pump not to be confused with the Giotto Timer Type V, which fits a vibration pump instead. The difference between the Giotto and the Mozzafiato is uniquely in the design. Let's start then with the Giotto: it is a single boiler heat exchanger coffee machine with the iconic E61 group and a PID control for maximum temperature stability. 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. The design of the machine is what we believe is the most distinctive feature which separates it from the more straight lines we are used to. We personally love those side panels which makes the Giotto look almost hexagonal. Should you not like this effect, Rocket has thought of you: the Mozzafiato Timer Evoluzione R with its more boxy design will probably be the best choice for you. Whichever you will choose you will be impressed with the hand-built quality and the attention to detail typical of Rocket 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.
Things to Consider
Careful with the Chrome: being entirely covered in chrome panels, it will be very easy to notice scratches in the stainless steel. To avoid that we always recommend cleaning the coffee machine with a micro-fiber cloth.
Direct water connection: being fitted with a Rotatory pump means also you can connect it directly to your water. If you have the possibility, we strongly recommend this option paired with a filtration system in order to not only avoid filling up the tank every day but also to purify the water and improve the machine’s life.

Extraordinary Quality, Absolutely beautiful
This is a wonderful machine. I'm completely blown away by the quality of every single part of this machine. The nobs have a great tactile feel and operate very smoothly. It seems to be extremely overbuilt, like its made to last a lifetime. I was not expecting how robust this machine is. Very heavy, thick panels and components. Now I understand why Rocket is so well regarded. None of the videos I watched could convey the quality of this machine. It's completely ready to go after 30 minutes. The wait is not an issue at all with a smart plug on a timer. Very easy to set up. Thank you to EspressoCoffeeShop for making this machine affordable. I also bought my Atom 75 grinder from them and I am 100% satisfied with the buying experience. I ordered the machine on the weekend from the middle of USA. They shipped it out Monday morning before I woke up, and I had it Wednesday afternoon. The machine was very well packaged. it arrived in beautiful perfect brand new condition.
ROCKET GIOTTO TIMER EVOLUZIONE R ESPRESSO MACHINE
I love this machine. I have a 12 year old Bezzera BZ99 DE which has been a trooper over the years, but needs an overhaul.
I wanted to upgrade to a Heat Exchange with PID and rotary pump. I live in Japan so was looking for a 110v machine. Slim pickings from Europe and limited options from North America due to price and capabilities for international shipping. Had purchased from EspressoCoffeeShop before and liked their service. The machine is beautiful and hefty. A lot of chrome. It is also extremely quiet. It is a lot more powerful than the BZ99 most likely because of the boiler size difference. The only negative would be the drip tray not quite fitting nicely. I have seen other complaints. It is fine, but it rocks ever so slightly!! Left front corner to right back corner. I am now a big ROCKET fan!!
