Get Ready for Speed: The New Rocket Espresso FAST R Models, Arriving Mid August
The Wait is Over: Rocket Espresso Mozzafiato & Giotto R FAST Landing at the Beanery This July
If you love your morning brew, prepare to upgrade your kitchen bench. Rocket Espresso has completely reimagined two of its most iconic domestic coffee machines. Designed in Milan by the acclaimed v12 design studio, the new Rocket Espresso Mozzafiato R FAST and Giotto R FAST are headed down under.
These premium machines are officially arriving in Australia this July.
To deliver the absolute best home barista experience, we are exclusively stocking the Rotary Pump (R) models. You can say goodbye to noisy, rattling vibrations. These commercial grade rotary pumps offer near silent operation and the ultimate flexibility to either run from the internal water reservoir or plumb the machine directly into your main water line.
Here is what makes the new FAST series a massive leap forward for home espresso.
Crafted for Speed: Ready in Minutes
Historically, a proper E61 group head coffee machine required a good 20 to 30 minutes to heat up thoroughly. The defining feature of the new FAST series is an engineered rapid-heating system.
By upgrading the thermal delivery and optimising the iconic 58mm chrome-plated brass group head, Rocket has slashed the warm-up time significantly. You can now expect your machine to be fully up to temperature and ready to pull an exceptional shot in as little as 10 to 12 minutes. You no longer have to plan your entire morning routine around waiting for your machine to heat up.
Mozzafiato vs Giotto: Choose Your Aesthetic
While both machines share the exact same top-tier commercial internals under the hood, they cater to very different styling preferences. Rocket teamed up with v12 design studio to sharpen up their classic looks.
- The Mozzafiato R FAST: Features clean, straight sides with modern bevelled edges. It is a sleek, architectural block of polished stainless steel and matte black framing that sits confidently on any modern benchtop.
- The Giotto R FAST: Retains Rocket's famous hexagonal shape but updates it with striking, three-dimensional angular side panels. It is a true statement piece with aggressive, classic Italian sports car lines.
Pro-Level Features Built for Coffee Purists
Rocket has packed these heat exchanger machines with premium hardware designed to make dialling in your coffee seamless.

- Integrated OLED Display & Shot Timer: Provides real-time feedback on your extraction times so you can consistently replicate your best recipes.
