Product Overview
The Rocket Espresso Bicocca is a premium dual-boiler espresso machine designed for home baristas and coffee enthusiasts who want precise temperature management, programmable volumetric dosing, and flexible water supply options. Its distinctive geometric stainless steel chassis is paired with a cylindrical heated group head and an integrated color touchscreen for convenient control.
The Bicocca features independent brew and steam boilers, electronic PID temperature control, a commercial rotary pump, and programmable single- and double-shot dosing. The combination of manual controls and digital functionality provides a versatile setup for preparing espresso and milk-based beverages at home.
Triple PID Temperature Control
The Bicocca uses separate electronic temperature control for the brew boiler, steam boiler, and heated group head. This multi-point temperature management system is designed to maintain consistent operating temperatures throughout the brewing system.
- Brew Boiler PID: Controls the temperature of the dedicated espresso boiler.
- Steam Boiler PID: Manages the temperature of the steam boiler.
- Group Head PID: Controls the integrated heating element in the cylindrical group head.
Cylindrical Heated Group Head
The Bicocca features a high-mass cylindrical brass group head with an integrated heating circuit. The actively heated group head is designed to support stable brewing temperatures and can reduce the time required for the machine to reach brewing readiness.
Independent Dual Boilers
The machine uses separate stainless steel boilers for espresso brewing and steam production:
- 0.5 L Brew Boiler: Dedicated to espresso extraction.
- 1.5 L Steam Boiler: Dedicated to steam production for milk preparation.
The independent boiler configuration allows the brewing and steaming systems to operate separately.
3.5-Inch Group-Mounted Touchscreen
A 3.5-inch color touchscreen is integrated into the group head, providing access to the machine's digital controls and brewing information. The interface can be used to monitor extraction information, manage shot timing, adjust settings, and access available machine functions.
Programmable Volumetric Dosing
The Bicocca provides programmable volumetric dosing for single and double espresso preparations. Once the desired water volume is programmed, the machine can automatically stop the extraction when the selected volume has been reached.
Commercial Rotary Pump
A commercial-grade rotary pump provides consistent water delivery during espresso preparation. The rotary pump is designed for smooth operation and stable pressure during extraction.
Convertible Water Supply
The Bicocca can be configured for standalone operation using its 1.8-liter internal water reservoir or connected to a compatible water supply for direct-plumbed use. A drain connection can also be used when the machine is installed with appropriate plumbing.
Energy Management & Display Options
The digital control system includes programmable operating schedules and an Eco mode designed to reduce energy consumption during periods when the machine is not actively being used. The touchscreen also provides multiple display theme options.
Italian Stainless Steel Construction
The Bicocca features a distinctive geometric stainless steel chassis inspired by modern Milanese architecture. Its polished stainless steel construction and cylindrical group design create a contemporary appearance for premium home coffee setups.
