Rocket Giotto Evoluzione Type R With Timer

The high-end heat exchanger with rotary pump

The Rocket Giotto Evoluzione Type R is a heat exchanger espresso machine with a rotary pump and PID controller. It offers a rare combination: the smooth operation of a heat exchanger, the quietness of a rotary pump, and the precision of digital temperature control.

What distinguishes her

The 1.8-liter insulated boiler with 9 mm end plates ensures exceptional thermal stability. The adjustable PID controller fine-tunes temperature control to the nearest degree. The rotary pump (Type R) operates almost silently and delivers superior pressure consistency. The integrated timer completes the package for precise monitoring of each extraction.

Key specifications

• Heat exchanger — 1.8 L stainless steel insulated boiler
• 9 mm boiler end plates — superior heat retention
• E61 chrome-plated brass group head — integrated passive pre-infusion
• Adjustable PID controller — precise temperature control
• Rotary pump — quiet and stable
• Built-in extraction timer
• Removable tank or direct water connection

On a daily basis

The Giotto Type R is a machine designed for everyday use. It heats up in approximately 20 minutes. The heat exchanger allows you to prepare milk-based drinks without waiting between extraction and steaming. The rotary pump is quiet enough for morning use without disturbing anyone.

For whom

• Espresso lovers who want a rotary pump without switching to a dual boiler
• Home baristas regularly preparing lattes and cappuccinos
• Those who value quiet operation on a daily basis

Less suitable for

• For those who want independent control of coffee and steam temperature — check out the Rocket R58 Cinquantotto
• For budgets under $3,500 — the Rocket Giotto Type V offers the same basics with a vibration pump

Positioning

The Giotto Evoluzione Type R is positioned in the high-end heat exchanger segment, between $3,500 and $4,000. Its rotary pump and PID controller place it at the top of this category at Rocket, just below the dual-boiler range.
