Rocket Giotto Timer Type V Espresso Machine

The Rocket Giotto Timer Type V stands out with its distinctive angular side panels, making it one of Rocket’s most original designs. For those who prefer a more traditional look, the Mozzafiato Timer Type V offers a classic, straighter profile — but the Giotto remains the boldest aesthetic statement in the lineup.

Rocket pairs this unique design with all the performance features expected from a premium prosumer machine: a built-in shot timer, PID temperature control (hidden neatly behind the drip tray), hot-water outlet, and a custom-modified E61 group providing a 1-second pre-infusion for enhanced extraction consistency.

Inside, the Giotto features a 1.8-liter heat-exchanger boiler, enabling simultaneous brewing and steaming. And if you love the Giotto design but want a rotary pump, Rocket has you covered with the Giotto Timer Evoluzione R.

Pros

Design

The Giotto is Rocket’s most unconventional and visually striking machine. Its angular design breaks the traditional boxy form while staying true to the brand’s minimalist philosophy.

Things to Consider

Chrome care

The polished stainless-steel body is gorgeous — and easily scratched. Always clean using a microfiber cloth only.
