operating power consumption
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
How much power the device consumes when it's switched on.
Doesn’t use proprietary capsules
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
This means that the capsules/pods are widely available, whereas with some manufacturers you can only buy them from special shops or online.
dump box capacity
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
The machine automatically deposits the used coffee grounds or pods into the dump box after extraction. The dump box capacity shows how many drinks you can create before it is full.
weight
21kg
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
warranty period

The thickness (or depth) of the product.
height
350.52 mm
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Components
Has a pressure gauge
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
One of the most important aspects to pulling a great espresso is the amount of pressure used. Aspects such as how tightly tamped the portafilter is can affect the pressure and therefore the overall quality of the extraction. A pressure gauge helps you to adjust your process to achieve a perfect 9 bar of pressure.
Has a 58mm portafilter
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
A 58mm portafilter is the most common size in the industry, offering a greater range of accessories to purchase such as portafilter baskets and tampers.
Has a steam wand
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
It has a steam wand, which allows you to make steamed/frothed milk to create other drinks from an espresso base.
Has a commercial steam wand
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
It comes with a commercial style steam wand as opposed to a pannarello steam wand. These are harder to master but can allow you to produce better, richer milk froth.
Has an integrated grinder
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The espresso machine has an integrated grinder so that you don’t have to buy a separate one.
Uses E61 group head
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
An E61 group head provides excellent temperature stability, a key aspect of producing great espresso. It also has the benefit of a passive pre-infusion feature.
bean hopper capacity
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A bigger bean hopper means that you have to refill it less often.
Has a display
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The device has an electronic display to present information to the user.
Has cup warmer
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
With a cup warmer you can heat the cups before pulling your espresso so that it doesn't go cold quickly, which affects the taste and quality. It also means that you don’t have to manually heat them using hot water.
Water source
Has PID controller
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
A PID controller controls the temperature of the boiler electronically. It offers a far greater degree of accuracy and consistency than a regular, mechanical thermostat used to control temperature. This is very important as a temperature of around 92°C to 96°C is key to pulling the perfect espresso.
Has a removable water tank
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The water tank is removable, making it easier to refill.
Water tank is transparent
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
With a transparent water tank you can easily see when it needs to be filled up. This is important as attempting to make an espresso with an empty tank can damage the machine.
Has integrated filter
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
An integrated water filter produces cleaner water for brewing espresso. It also helps to prevent the build up of limescale.
Has direct water connection
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The coffee machine can connect directly to the water supply. This ensures you never have to refill the machine with water.
can dispense hot water
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
A hot water outlet is useful as it can be used to heat cups, as well as making americanos, long blacks and teas.
water tank capacity
2.9 l
With a larger water tank you don’t have to refill it as often.
Maintenance
Has sleep mode
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
After a certain period of being idle, the device will switch to a sleep mode to conserve power.
Has cleaning alert
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The machine alerts you when it requires cleaning.
Indicates when drip tray is full
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
With a drip tray indicator the machine informs you of when you need to empty the tray.
Prevents overheating
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
It has an internal fuse/thermal sensors which prevents the machine from overheating.
Automatic coffee circuit rinse
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The machine automatically cleans the coffee circuit, meaning that the machine requires a minimal amount of cleaning.
Automatic milk circuit cleaning
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The machine automatically cleans the milk circuit, meaning that the machine requires a minimal amount of cleaning.
Features
Has a pre-infusion function
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
With a pre-infusion function you get a low pressure of water before it ramps up to around 9 bar of pressure. This gently expands the grinds to get a smooth extraction and to help prevent channeling in the cake.
Can brew and steam simultaneously
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
With a double boiler or heat exchanger system, you can brew and steam milk at the same time. This has an advantage over single boiler machines where you have to wait between brewing and steaming for the temperature to adjust.
programmable buttons
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
These buttons can be programmed for different types of coffee such as an espresso, doppio or ristretto. This means once you have mastered a particular style of coffee, you can get it the same every time.
Has a shot timer
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The time taken to pull an espresso shot is one of four key elements, and should be around 19-22 seconds. Once you have the grind, dose and tamp correct, you can use the shot clock to time the pull perfectly.
number of grind settings
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
A higher number of grind settings gives you more flexibility when choosing the fineness of your ground coffee. The particle size is important as a grind which is too coarse can produce weak tasting espresso, whereas a grind which is too fine can lead to a bitter taste.
number of drinks
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
For machines which accept coffee capsules/pods, each one can create a different drink, including teas and hot chocolates. More types of drink available gives you a greater range of choice.
supports Wi-Fi
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
supports a remote smartphone
✖Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
This technology allows the users to use their smartphone as a remote control for the device.
Miscellaneous
Has a 3-way valve
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
A 3-way solenoid valve relieves the portafilter of pressure and moisture after the extraction. This produces a dry puck which can easily be removed afterwards. It also means that you don’t have to wait for the pressure to equalise, so that you can make back-to-back coffees.
Uses E61 brew group
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
The E61 brew group is the industry standard brew group for espresso machines, which delivers consistent, stable heat in order to help pull the perfect espresso.
Has anti-burn steam wand
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
Steam wands are a fairly common source of burns when using espresso machines. An anti-burn steam wand has a lining inside that prevents the wand from getting scalding hot.
boiler size
1.8 l
A higher capacity boiler means that you don’t have to refill it as often.
Generally, a larger capacity boiler with a higher wattage will be able to recover and replenish quicker. This is useful if making many coffees at once.
Uses ground coffee
✔Rocket Espresso Evoluzione V2
Ground coffee, especially if freshly roasted and ground, results in much better quality coffee than the kind of results you get with pods or capsules.
