FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers for all Rocket Espresso Machines (Excluding Grinders)
Yes every model in the Rocket Espresso range has a tank that can be hand filled with water.
Sure you can brew your coffee and steam your milk at the same time with no performance loss.
No every model can be hand filled with water, the models that are equipped with a Rotary pump have the capability to be connected to the mains water if you wish.
Heating up happens in two phases, firstly the boiler will heat up, building pressure inside. Your gauge or (manometer) will move up to or just below the green area, steam will be present & hot water but now we must ensure the E61 group head ( beautifully built ) gets up to temperature otherwise our shots of espresso will not brew correctly. The complete heating up process usually takes between 15-20 mins.
So there is a hack for this one, speeding up your heating process is not really practical but we have discovered through experience that you can fit an electronic timer to your power socket ( follow the manufacturers guidelines) and then program your morning/daily routine into the timer so then your machine is always up to temperature when it matters the most.

Most frequent questions and answers for all Cronometro R Machines
Once they are the same version, for example both Cronometro “R” or both Cronometro “V” then it is just the side panels to choose from. The overall spec of the machines are identical and it is then just to decide if you prefer straight sides as on the Mozzafiato or angled sides as on the Giotto.
Yes the Crononmetro “R” comes fitted with a PID/ small lcd screen hidden behind the drip tray.
Yes on the left hand side a little up from the drip tray, it activates as you pull up the brew handle so you can then time how long you brew your espresso shot for.
