Rocket Espresso Milano

Overview

The Rocket Espresso Milano is a classic heat exchanger machine that serves as the brand foundation model and a testament to traditional Italian espresso machine design. Featuring a 1.8-liter copper boiler, full E61 group head, and clean stainless steel aesthetics, the Espresso Milano delivers the essential Rocket experience without the premium features of the higher-end models. The copper boiler provides excellent heat retention and powerful steam, while the heat exchanger system allows the barista to brew and steam without switching modes. The E61 group head offers natural pre-infusion and the thermal stability that has made this design legendary. A pressurestat manages boiler temperature, working in concert with the thermal mass of the copper boiler and E61 group to deliver consistent brew temperatures. The vibratory pump is reliable and provides proper 9-bar extraction pressure. Build quality is solid with polished stainless steel panels and quality internal components. The Espresso Milano is for the barista who wants a genuine Italian-made E61 heat exchanger from a prestigious brand at a reasonable price point — a machine that does the fundamentals well and will serve reliably for years.

The Rocket Espresso Milano comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a heat exchanger boiler system made of copper with a 1800 ml capacity. The vibratory pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $1,799, the Rocket Espresso Milano is designed for dedicated prosumers who demand professional-grade equipment. The heat exchanger design provides steam-on-demand while maintaining brew temperature stability — a great middle ground between single and dual boiler machines.

In terms of build quality, the Rocket Espresso Milano is a substantial machine, weighing in at 24.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 1200W of power. With dimensions of 310 x 430 x 400 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. The built-in water reservoir holds 2500 ml, making it easy to set up anywhere in your kitchen.
