What customers say
The Rocket Bicocca is overwhelmingly praised as a prosumer endgame machine, celebrated primarily for its exceptional build quality and stunning Italian design.

Know before you buy
Yes, the machine is designed with a switchable water system, allowing you to choose between using the internal water tank or connecting it directly to a dedicated water line for continuous supply.
Absolutely. The dual boiler configuration features independent boilers for brewing and steaming, meaning you can pull your shot and texture your milk simultaneously without any loss in temperature stability.
The 3.5-inch touchscreen provides precise control over key variables including brew temperature, pre-infusion timing, and dosing, allowing you to fine-tune your extraction for different coffee roasts.
While the machine is a high-performance unit weighing 78 lbs, its footprint is standard for a professional-grade dual boiler machine. Ensure you have a sturdy countertop capable of supporting its weight and sufficient clearance for the steam and hot water wands.
No, the Bicocca does not have an integrated grinder. You will need to pair it with a high-quality standalone burr grinder to achieve the grind consistency required for professional-level espresso.
The Bicocca is equipped with a rotary vane pump, which is significantly quieter than the vibration pumps found in entry-level machines. It operates with a smooth, low hum that is ideal for home environments.
