Know before you buy
Yes, the machine is equipped with a commercial-grade rotary pump that allows you to switch between the internal 2.5-liter water reservoir and a direct plumbing connection.
The independent dual boilers allow you to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without any loss in temperature stability. This setup is essential for maintaining consistent performance when making multiple drinks back-to-back.
The touchscreen controller allows you to precisely adjust the temperature of both boilers and manage machine settings. It is detachable, so you can keep the machine’s aesthetic clean by removing it once your settings are dialed in.
The E61 group head is a classic design known for its thermal stability, but it does require regular backflushing to keep the internal components clean. Because it is a standard 58mm size, it is also highly compatible with a wide range of aftermarket accessories and portafilters.
Yes, the R58 Cinquantotto features a programmable auto-on function. This allows you to schedule the machine to heat up before you wake up, ensuring it is ready for your first shot of the day.
The shot timer is integrated into the machine's interface, providing an accurate readout of your extraction time as soon as you start the pump. It helps you maintain consistency across every shot without needing an external scale or timer.
