Know before you buy
Traditional E61 machines often require 20 to 30 minutes to reach thermal stability. The Rocket Giotto FAST uses optimized heating elements and internal engineering to significantly reduce this wait time, allowing you to start pulling shots much sooner.
Yes. Because this machine uses a heat-exchanger boiler system, you have access to both brewing water and steam pressure simultaneously, making it easy to craft lattes and cappuccinos without waiting for the boiler to switch modes.
No, the Rocket Giotto FAST is designed with an internal 60.87-ounce water reservoir. This makes it a flexible choice for home kitchens where you don't want to worry about plumbing installation.
The E61 is a professional-grade standard known for its thermal mass and reliability. It helps maintain consistent water temperature during extraction, which is essential for achieving a balanced, café-quality espresso.
The no-burn steam wand is designed to stay cool to the touch, which prevents milk from baking onto the exterior. Simply wipe it down with a damp cloth immediately after frothing to keep it clean and perform a quick purge of the steam valve.
The machine measures approximately 13.4 inches wide, 15.9 inches high, and 18 inches deep. You should also account for a few extra inches of clearance above the unit to easily refill the water reservoir.
