Rocket R60V Pressure Profile Coffee Machine and Rocket Fausto Polished Finish Espresso Grinder
What a great coffee setup photo to see on a Friday morning. Cheers Scott from London.
Scott is loyal customer of Bella Barista and originally had a Rocket Giotto Evoluzione. Wanting to seek even more consistency, try out new pressure profiles and possibly a little bit of upgrade-itis, he eventually opted for the R60v.
Rocket R60V Pressure Profile Machine
The Rocket R60V is the pinnacle of what you can achieve with the traditional E61 group head coffee machine. Normally the E61 group is very simple in operation, lift the lever and it will delivery a consistent pressure. 2-4 bar preinfusion to begin with then ramping up to a solid 9bar. Simple! Most of the coffee machines in the Bella Barista range do this and make it very easy for everyone at home to use.
The R60V gives you the ability to change this standard profile and adapt it to suit your taste. You might like a 10 second preinfusion at 1.5 bar? You might even decide to lower the pressure towards the end of the espresso shot, limiting the more undesirable acids and flavours? The R60V gives you this extra level of control with your espresso. Ideal if you enjoy drinking different single origin speciality coffees, allowing you to tailor and personalise your coffee drinking. This is for more advanced home coffee enthusiasts who really enjoy espresso.
The Rocket R60v is currently the top spec domestic coffee machine in the Rocket Espresso range. Naturally it comes with a number of features only available on this coffee machine. First and foremost the Rotary pump has a stepper motor to produce higher pressures and pressure control. The advanced digital display allows you to preset and save your favourite profiles for later use. You can connect the R60v to your wifi allowing you additional control through the Rocket app for mobile devices. For more information on the R60V, please visit the Bella Barista website. It comes in two finishes. The R60v soft touch matt black finish and traditional mirror finish stainless steel.
Rocket Fausto Coffee Grinder – Polished Finish
The Rocket Fausto Coffee Grinder is a perfect compliment to the high end coffee machine at home. The Fausto is a type of grinder called “on demand”. This essentially means there is no dose container, it delivers the coffee straight into the basket allowing you to tamp and use straight away. On demand grinders are much better for home use giving you a timed amount of fresh ground coffee instantly.
The Rocket Fausto grinder has two timed dose options for single and double shots and simple manual grind. It has an easy to use interface and large thumb wheel to make precision changes to the grind level. A lot of customers are confused with the cone at the front and think its a dose container (more suited for commercial grinders). This cone simply knocks out some of the clumps before it hits the basket making the delivery of coffee into the basket cleaner with less mess. It has 64 mm flat burrs, that give you a good consistent grind. More consistency leads to less channelling (water finding an easy path through the coffee) therefore better extraction.
The Rocket Fausto is very easy to maintain, making it ideal for a home use. Simply undo the screws at the top and then a further three screws detach the top burr and housing giving you access to the chamber to brush out any coffee remains. Pop the top burr and top housing back on screw back in place and away you go again.
