Rocket Giotto Timer Evoluzione R

Overview

The Rocket Giotto Timer Evoluzione R represents the ultimate expression of Rocket's heat exchanger philosophy, combining the E61 group head with a rotary pump and integrated shot timer for precision brewing. The rotary pump upgrades the experience significantly — providing quieter operation, more consistent pressure delivery, and plumb-in capability alongside the 2.5-liter reservoir. The 1.8-liter copper boiler provides ample thermal mass for temperature stability and powerful steaming. An integrated shot timer on the group head displays extraction time in real-time, essential for dialing in consistent shots without a separate timer. The E61 thermosyphon design provides natural pre-infusion, gently saturating the coffee puck before full pump pressure engages. The Giotto Timer Evoluzione R is often considered the sweet spot in Rocket's lineup — offering rotary pump refinement and timing precision without the added complexity and cost of a dual boiler system. For baristas who primarily drink milk-based espresso drinks, this heat exchanger configuration is ideal.

The Rocket Giotto Timer Evoluzione R comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a heat exchanger boiler system made of copper with a 1800 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $2,699, the Rocket Giotto Timer Evoluzione R 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 Giotto Timer Evoluzione R is a substantial machine, weighing in at 27.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 1400W of power. With dimensions of 335 x 425 x 400 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. It offers both reservoir and direct plumbing options for maximum flexibility.
