Rocket Espresso R Cinquantotto Espresso Machine
Rocket Espresso R Cinquantotto Overview
The Rocket R Cinquantotto, an update on the ever popular R58, is a dual boiler espresso machine, with a dual PID system controlled by a removable touchscreen display. Each boiler uses a dedicated PID to regulate the temperatures within each, and allow you to make adjustments to accommodate different roast profiles. Updated cup railings, legs, side panels, and the inclusion of shot timer are much appreciated updates to Rocket’s signature dual boiler machine.
Features and Performance
Rather than integrating the PID into the front of the R Cinquantotto, Rocket opted to create a touchscreen device which can be removed from the side of the machine as desired. The touchscreen device is a lot more than a PID controller, however. With it in place, you can turn off the steam boiler, set on/off times for different days of the week, turn on ECO mode to save power, and switch between the water tank or a direct water line connection. Separate from the PID, a subtle shot timer is located directly above the power switch, and will begin counting when the brew lever is engaged.
At its heart, the R Cinquantotto features a 0.58 L brew boiler and 1.8 L steam boiler, which pump out shot after shot and fuel a powerful steam wand. Said steam wand is no-burn, along with its hot water counterpart.
As on their other machines, the E61 present on the R Cinquantotto features Rocket’s innovative dual pre-infusion system, which utilizes a static chamber as well as a mechanical working piston which progressively pre-infuses to ensure a fully saturated, crema-rich extraction. The R Cinquantotto also features a commercial-grade rotary pump, which, on top of being incredibly quiet, offers the option to plumb the machine directly into a water line.

I’ve spent almost a year pulling shots on my R58 and am finally feel like I’ve had enough time to write a good review. I have been drinking coffee for years, was always a french press person. About 5 years ago, I got a Gaggia Classic Pro to start out my foray into the espreso world. It was an absolutely fantastic entry level machine, and I was ablRead more about review stating Luxurious way to start the daye to make some great coffee with it. As time went on, I started to want more. It was always a pain in the neck refilling the reservoir, so I knew I wanted my next machine to be able to be plumbed in. I also wanted a double boiler, so I could make milk drinks and pull shots without waiting on a single boiler to heat up/cool down. SO…gotta be able to plumb in, want a double boiler…enter the R58.
I mean, it’s just a joy to use. Super easy to setup, love the calendar function for auto on/off, love the looks, love the E61…it’s just so so so nice. If you’re looking for a machine you can love for years, this one seems to be it. Plumbed mine in with the BWT in line filter, easy breezy install I was able to do it myself.
Also, the team at HARFAN COFFEE made the entire process painless. Fast, secure pallet shipping, great customer support, great documentation. A no brainer for all my coffee related purchases.

Brought this with me on a missions trip to Africa. I knew the capabilities of this machine the second I purchased it. She currently is powering the entire village and providing them with the caffeine to modernize. Last I heard, they’re discovering the vaccine to cancer.
