The two-piece foot – so your machine stands steady on the counter again
An espresso machine rarely stands still: every time you lock in the portafilter, a solid jolt goes through the housing, and the four feet absorb it. After a few years you usually notice it first by the sound – the machine slides slightly while tamping, or it wobbles because a foot has been flattened or the rubber has turned hard and cracked.
This foot is made of two parts: a threaded carrier and a rubber piece fitted on top. Rocket uses exactly this design on the Giotto, Evoluzione R, R58 and R60V. It is supplied individually, not as a set of four – if you want to replace all four, order it four times.
When it's time
Replacing it is worthwhile as soon as one of these applies: the machine wobbles on a level counter; it noticeably shifts when you lock in the portafilter; the rubber is hard, glazed or torn; or the foot has been permanently compressed under the load, so the machine stands crooked.
A crooked stance is more than a cosmetic flaw. The drip tray then no longer drains cleanly towards the outlet, and water collects in the lower corner – that's the beginning of limescale rings and odours.

Who it's for
For anyone whose machine has stood in the same spot for years and has slowly started to lean, and for anyone who has taken over a used Rocket and wants to restore it properly from the ground up. The swap is simple: disconnect the machine from the mains, let it cool down, lift it, unscrew the foot, screw in the new one.
Important for installation
Depending on the model, a Rocket weighs well over twenty kilograms. Lifting it takes two people or a stable surface on which you carefully lay the machine on its side. Remove the water tank, portafilter and drip tray first, otherwise residual water will run over the electrics in the base. The machine must be disconnected from the mains and cooled down.
What goes with it
The categories Rocket R58 and R60 spare parts and Rocket Giotto and Cellini spare parts list the other parts for these machines. For the Appartamento there is a separate, differently built foot. For an overview of all the Rocket parts we carry, see Rocket accessories and spare parts.
Workshop tip from Bern and Zurich
Before we replace a foot, we lay a spirit level across the cup tray. Often it's not the machine that's crooked but the kitchen counter – in that case a new foot won't help at all, and you simply readjust the existing ones.
And because no repair of ours ends without a tasting: afterwards an espresso with Nutty Delight, Cozy Chocolate or Very Nutty runs through the group. You'll find the full selection in our Coffee beans. This is our own workshop routine, not a manufacturer requirement.
No returns
Original spare parts are excluded from exchange and return. They are sourced specifically for each order and cannot be resold after installation or a trial fitting on the machine. So before ordering, please check the model, year of manufacture and serial number of your machine – or drop us a short message and we'll check the fit together. Your rights in the case of defective goods remain unaffected.
Frequently asked questions
Do I get one foot or a set?
One foot. If you want to replace all four, put the part in your cart four times.
Why is there an old number next to the part number?
Over time, Rocket changed the number from A019904282 to R059906167. It is the same part. If your service documents still show the old number, you're in the right place.
The same part number also appears for the R58 from serial number C1706. Is that a different part?
No. In the documentation, the same two-piece foot with the same number R059906167 is additionally listed as 40 millimetres plus 20 millimetres for the R58 from serial number C1706. We list both under this one item so that there aren't two articles for the same part in the catalogue.
How tall is the foot?
For the version on the R58 from serial number C1706, the documentation states 40 millimetres plus 20 millimetres for the two parts. We have no dimensions for the other model series, so we don't state any there.
Can I see the part in a showroom?
Our showrooms in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) show a wide selection, but not our entire range – the display changes. Drop us a quick line at [email protected] before your visit, and we will check whether the product you have in mind is currently there.
Not sure whether the part fits your machine? Send us the model and serial number at [email protected], and we'll check the fit for you. We deliver across Switzerland and to Liechtenstein in 2-4 working days.
