Detachable Touchscreen Interface
The R Cinquantotto features a unique detachable external 3.5-inch color touchscreen. The communication pod provides access to individual boiler temperature settings through the PID system, real-time machine parameters, and programmable functions. Once settings have been configured, the touchscreen can be removed and stored separately for a cleaner countertop appearance.
7-Day Programmable Auto-On
The programmable automatic start function allows users to create a seven-day heating schedule. This can help ensure the machine's E61 brass group head is properly heat-saturated and ready for espresso preparation when needed.
Integrated Digital Shot Timer
When the touchscreen pod is attached, it functions as an automatic digital shot timer. The timer begins when the E61 brew lever is raised, giving users a convenient way to monitor extraction duration and improve consistency between shots.
Independent Dual Boiler System
The R58 uses two independently controlled boilers. The 0.58-liter brew boiler is dedicated to espresso extraction and PID temperature regulation, while the larger 1.8-liter steam boiler provides steam for milk texturing and hot-water functions.
Commercial-Grade Rotary Pump
A commercial-grade rotary pump provides quiet operation and a stable extraction profile. The pump is designed to deliver approximately 9-bar brewing pressure throughout the extraction cycle, supporting consistent espresso preparation.
Flexible Water Supply
The R Cinquantotto can operate using its integrated 2.5-liter water reservoir or be connected directly to a household water supply. The included braided stainless-steel water line kit provides the necessary connection option for direct plumbing.
Premium Italian Construction
The machine features a mirror-polished AISI 304 stainless-steel chassis and is hand-crafted in Milan, Italy. Height-adjustable stabilizing feet help provide a secure countertop setup while complementing the machine's classic Italian design.
Cool-Touch Steam & Hot Water Wands
Insulated stainless-steel steam and hot-water wands provide a more comfortable operating experience while helping reduce heat transfer to the outer wand surfaces. The design also makes routine wiping and cleanup more convenient.
