Rocket Espresso Giotto Timer Evoluzione R Espresso Machine (Special Order)

Rocket Espresso Giotto Timer Evoluzione R – The Workhorse at Norma Supply Co.

The Rocket Espresso Giotto Timer Evoluzione R is the machine we’ve relied on at Norma Supply Co. for over four years. Known for its commercial-grade performance, temperature stability, and reliability, it’s the centerpiece of our daily workflow, consistently delivering exceptional espresso. Its rotary pump and plumb-in capability make it a versatile choice for both home and light commercial use.

Technical Features:

• Heat Exchange Boiler: The 1.8L copper boiler with a heat-exchange system allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming, making it ideal for back-to-back drinks.
• E61 Group Head: Provides consistent thermal stability and pre-infusion, promoting even extraction and balanced flavor.
• Rotary Pump: Quieter and more durable than vibratory pumps, the rotary pump ensures stable pressure and can be connected to a direct water line for continuous use.
• PID Temperature Control: Adjustable PID allows for precise brew temperature management, giving you flexibility to fine-tune your extractions.
• Integrated Shot Timer: The built-in digital timer lets you monitor shot duration in real-time, helping with consistency and repeatability.

Differences from the Giotto Timer Evoluzione V:

• Pump Type:
  • The Evoluzione R uses a rotary pump, which offers quieter operation, more consistent pressure, and the ability to plumb the machine directly into a water line.
  • The Evoluzione V uses a vibratory pump, which is noisier and cannot be plumbed, making it a less versatile option.
• Water Source:
  • The R model offers dual water source compatibility—either from the internal reservoir or direct plumbing.
  • The V model is reservoir-only, limiting it to tank use.
• Overall Performance:
  • The Evoluzione R is better suited for higher-volume use and offers greater stability thanks to the rotary pump and direct plumbing option.
  • The V model is designed for more casual home use, where plumbing isn’t necessary.

✅ The Giotto Timer Evoluzione R is the more robust and flexible model, making it ideal for environments like Norma Supply Co., where it handles daily use with ease. The Evoluzione V is a solid option for home baristas who don’t require direct plumbing or the enhanced stability of a rotary pump.
