Rocket Espresso – Italian portafilter machines, Switzerland

Discover Rocket Espresso portafilter machines in Switzerland – handcrafted Italian espresso machines with E61 brew group and timeless design, available in Bern and Zurich.

The soul of Italian espresso culture

There's something about Italian espresso machines. The flowing lines. The polished stainless steel. The lever that feels like it's from another era.

Rocket captures this aesthetic – but with modern reliability.

When you walk into the kitchen in the morning and see your Rocket, you smile. It's not just a tool. It's part of your ritual, your identity as a coffee lover. Beauty that works. Or function that is beautiful. Both are true.

What truly sets Rocket apart

As a specialty coffee roastery, we value proven technology. The E61 brew group, found in many Rocket models, has been tried and tested for decades – and we know: you use the equipment that inspires you best.

E61 Group Head
The facts: The thermosiphon system ensures passive temperature stability. Solid brass (high thermal mass) stores heat. Mechanical pre-infusion via lever position – you control the initial pressure manually.

The truth: Yes, it works brilliantly. But the real reason? That lever. That feeling. That connection to the Italian espresso tradition. Engineering plus heritage.

Handmade in Milan
The facts: Every Rocket is hand-built. Quality control is carried out on an individual basis. Chrome plating, polishing, assembly – everything is done with meticulous attention.

The truth is: Do you need "handmade"? Technically, no. But knowing your machine was built with care feels right. Craft plus care.

Upgrade path
The facts: Many models can be retrofitted – PID control, pressure gauges, flow control. Your machine grows with your skills.

The truth is: You could be happy without upgrades. But having the option is satisfying. Potential plus growth.

Who is Rocket right for?

Forget checklists. Ask yourself: Does the aesthetics appeal to you? (Seriously, they're beautiful.) Do you appreciate traditional Italian design? Do you want a machine that will last for decades? Do you prefer mechanical elegance to digital features?

If so – Rocket could be perfect. Or maybe you simply want Rocket because you want to smile every morning when you see it. Because it just looks right on your counter. Because espresso can be stylish, too. That's reason enough. We're not judging. We understand.

Perfectly combined with

Rocket deserves a solid coffee grinder – we recommend at least a mid-range model. Combine it with Normcore barista tools for perfect puck preparation and our espresso roasts .

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Rocket is right for me?
It depends on features and budget. Single-boiler machines are cheaper, dual-boiler machines are more practical for milk-based drinks. Give us a call – we'll advise you based on your workflow.

Do I need experience to operate a Rocket?
No, but a willingness to learn is essential. The E61 group is intuitive, but manual pre-infusion takes some practice. We'll show you everything when you buy it.

Can I see Rocket in Bern or Zurich?
Yes, both showrooms feature Rocket machines. Our Zurich showroom (our larger one) has a more extensive display. See the craftsmanship, experience the quality.

Roastery tip: Rocket E61 machines love medium to medium-dark roasted beans – the thermal stability of the E61 group brings out the sweetness and body that characterize these roast profiles. Classic espresso blends shine particularly brightly. But if you simply want them for their beauty – that's perfectly valid too.
