Rocket Espresso has been known for years for their flashy and sleek design, with an unwavering obsession in delivering café-quality drinks. Like any E61 group head, you’ll get pre-infusion of water, helping to settle the grounds within the bed of coffee. Despite its remarkably small form factor, you get plenty of power from this machine, and can easily make multiple milk-based rinks in a row. You’ll love how quiet it is. Rocket Espresso took additional steps to ensure that the vibratory pump’s noise is at a minimum. Rest assured, you won’t accidentally wake up anyone else in the house if you’re an early riser.

This compact heat exchanger machine from Quick Mill is newly re-designed with a commercial grade E61 group head, and has a large 1.6 L steam boiler which allows you to steam large quantities of milk in a single sitting. We’re also big fans of the impressive 3 L water reservoir, offering more time between refills each day. Overall a fantastic machine loaded with features at a reasonable price point.

The Vivi from Izzo is one of our “best in class” espresso machines we’re proud to offer. This heat exchanger comes with your tried-and-true E61 group head, a 1.8 L insulated copper boiler, and a beautiful PID display with built-in shot timer. Additionally, the large water reservoir is easy to access via the top of the machine so you can be back up and running in no time!

Now designed with a fresh look in matte black, the Appartamento Nera from Rocket Espresso is a beauty to look at and can compete in a multitude of ways against your dual boiler options. This heat exchanger machine comes stock with an E61 group head, a large 2 L bottom-fed water reservoir, beautiful pressure gauges, and an incredibly low profile thanks in part to Rocket’s uniquely designed puck-style feet.
