Heritage design meets modern accouterments with the Rocket Espresso
Giotto Timer Type V. A classic E61 design in a stainless steel case
belies the technology packed inside, offering the best of both classic
design notions and usability. Features like a built-in shot timer,
hidden PID controller, and group flow restrictors elevate the Giotto
Timer’s functionality beyond standard espresso machines—all without
sacrificing the machine’s style. Simultaneous brewing and steaming,
efficient heat management, and high-powered steaming combine to make a
machine as easy to use as it is to look at.
What’s the Difference Between the Giotto Cronometro R and V?
R – Has a rotary pump; has a water tank and the ability to be plumbed in; black pressure dials
V – Has a vibratory pump; only has a water tank (no option for plumbing), white pressure dials
Features:
- Built by Hand – The Giotto Timer Type V is designed and built by hand in Milan, Italy.
- Shot Timer – A mini shot timer adds extra functionality without affecting the classic face of the machine.
-
PID Controller – Placed behind the drip tray, this
PID controller replaces the pressure stat of other machine and offers
more stable temperatures in the steam boiler. - Stainless Steel Case – The Giotto’s bold, angular case, removable cup rail, drip tray and feet are all a rust-resistant stainless steel.
-
Heat-exchange Boiler – A 1.8-liter steam boiler
with a cold water tube running through it pulls water fresh from the
reservoir. Steam pressure is calibrated at the factory to passively heat
water to ideal brew temp. - Easy Brewing – Rocket’s minorly-modified E61 design makes for soft, repeatable shots—without sacrificing on taste.
- Dramatic – The Giotto’s sloping side panels add a dash of Italian flair to the machine’s looks.
