Rocket Giotto Cronometro V – Dual Boiler Espresso Machine
The lever of the E61 group head clicks up, the shot runs, and the built-in timer counts along. The Giotto Cronometro V carries the same familiar Rocket silhouette as its bigger sister – slimmer in build, because it runs off the tank.
Coffee Coaching Club is a partner of Rocket in Switzerland. Your purchase includes our private barista course (in German or English, in Bern or Zürich), where we introduce you to extraction and the espresso ritual.

The right grinder makes the difference: affordable from our Varia Collection, more from the Eureka Coffee Grinders or Weber Workshops. Tampers and distributors sit in the Tamper Collection, scales at Normcore or Acaia. For choosing, the Machine Comparison.

Roastery Tip
For the E61 character I like dense, chocolatey beans: our Cozy Chocolate or the Nutty Delight. That's our recommendation, one of many.
