Rocket Espresso R58 Cinquantotto
Score: 86/100Rankings
The Rocket R58 Cinquantotto is a high-end dual-boiler espresso machine with dual PID control, a commercial rotary pump and optional plumbable water line, delivering café-level consistency. Its sizable footprint, heavy weight and low cup clearance make it less suitable for small kitchens or beginners. It targets expert home baristas and light-commercial environments that demand precise temperature control.
The Jura E8 is a super-automatic espresso machine featuring a professional P.A.G.2 grinder and P.E.P. extraction for rich coffee and one-touch milk frothing. It trades a premium feel for a plastic exterior, limited grind settings, and lacks a built-in cup warmer. Ideal for coffee enthusiasts seeking fast, high-quality drinks with minimal effort.
