R58 Cinquantotto

This is one of the reasons Rocket Espresso doesn't recommend descaling yourself. Its hard to completely flush descaler or citric acid out of the system entirely. This is why I took my boilers out of my r58 to descale.

I would prefer the Bianca to the other machines on your list, unless the Rocket machine is a R58. You should also consider machines from Profitec and ECM. Do some internet research on the X54; reviews I've seen are very mixed. For home use you might consider a single dose grinder, which would be a b

You and I think alike! I started down the path putting a load cell under the top part of the drip tray of my Rocket R58 before chickening out. I'd used one once to hack a tea kettle to send push notifications when it was empty. I found that to be a little fiddly with the cheap-o controllers I was us

I’ve had my setup for the last three months and couldn’t be happier with the machine. Went from a Rocket R58 to the Wendougee and you cannot compare the two. Rock solid build, excellent machine!

Totally understand you. I have also have a flair 58 and actually use that more than than the rocket now for drinking straight espresso for the reasons you mentioned. If you were willing to fuss with some kind of stand alone steamer system maybe the flair could work for you. Plus, you get to pressure

My list of requirements was long: *Dual boiler. *Capability to heat both boilers at the same time and of course use both at the same time. *Quick recovery. *Rotary Pump *Large water reservoir with option to plumb in to water source and drain. *E61 group head with flow control. *PID Controller *Shot timer *S

My office had Rocket R58 and Eureka Mignon, yes, nice setup, but people don't know how to use it and will end up ruining the experience for everyone else Just get a fancy bean to cup

Bezzera is on my watchlist, for sure! I did research on the Rocket R58, as well as the R9 One, but people said the repairability on those machines are quite a pain? And they often have issues? Not sure 100%, but that’s the general consensus when I ask around about the higher end Rocket models.

I have previously restored a R58 V1, (replacing the heating elements the E61 group, along with several pipes). The chassis is the most difficult part to fix. A chassis issue requires a total teardown to swap the frame and this part is very extensive, you need to order a chassis from rocket. The repa

--> Why are we using 58 if it's not the best? Probably just what the commercial machines standardized around in the middle of the last century, lol. Got my 49mm tamper and the Rocket bottomless portafilter. It's not as impressive as the ECM I had previously. The Rocket handle is hollow, which makes
