The rating plate, placed on the underside of
the machine
Both steam and brew pressure gauges,
which look fantastic and really nice
quality. Set off nicely with a big chromed
bezel.
The Steam and brew pressure gauges
were not straight. Rocket Espresso
realise this is a problem and are in the
process of trying to get tabs fitted to the
gauges so that they will always be
installed straight. This annoys them as
much as it does me.
The new machine is greatly
complemented by the use of a
Commercial grade heavy duty Sirai
pressurestat (left of picture). Although the
Sirai pressurestats cost significantly more,
they are known to be very reliable and,
accurate and almost never fail in
domestic use.
You adjust them by removing the yellow cap
to reveal the adjuster screw.you will need
a lot more turns than you are used to say
when adjusting a cheaper MATER
Pressurestat.
I think it’s time that all manufacturers started to insulate the boilers of their machinesIt’s not so much a
complaint as an observation. Currently most manufacturers do not, but more are insulating them as standard e.g.
Quickmill, Izzo, Expobar etc.
I mentioned this in reviews of previous models and think the Giotto Evoluzione would also benefit from such
insulation in the areas of, component life, steaming and reduced power consumption. Rocket has promised to look
into insulating the boiler this time round.
The heating element (1200 watt element) is stated as being, made from special long life material (5 times
longer than normal elements). I think this is great, because heating element replacement is one of life’s less
pleasant tasks. They are currently testing a 1400W heating element and I am hoping this is made of the same
material.
These pressurestats
are a little noisier,
due to the heavy
duty relay inside
them. They also take
up a lot of
space…BUT,
they’re good!
