Rocket R58 Cinquantotto V2

Overview

The Rocket R58 Cinquantotto V2 builds upon Rocket's flagship dual boiler platform with refined electronics and improved thermal management. Named "Cinquantotto" (fifty-eight in Italian) for its 58mm group head, the R58 V2 features updated PID controllers for both the 580ml copper brew boiler and the 1400ml copper steam boiler, now displaying on a clearer LCD screen mounted on the front panel. The rotary pump delivers whisper-quiet operation and connects to plumbed water for uninterrupted brewing, with a 2.5-liter reservoir as backup. The E61 group head provides natural pre-infusion through its thermosyphon design. Separate PID control of each boiler allows independent optimization — lower brew temperatures for light roasts while maintaining full steam pressure. The copper boilers offer superior heat retention and distribution compared to stainless steel alternatives. Rocket's Italian craftsmanship shows in the polished stainless steel panels, mirror-finished drip tray, and heavy-gauge construction that gives the R58 V2 a commanding presence on any countertop.

The Rocket R58 Cinquantotto V2 comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of copper with a 580 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $3,299, the Rocket R58 Cinquantotto V2 is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. The dual boiler design allows simultaneous brewing and steaming, making it ideal for milk-based drinks without any wait time.

In terms of build quality, the Rocket R58 Cinquantotto V2 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 27.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 1500W 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.
