“For as long as there have been cyclists, there have been coffee stops,” notes Rapha.
“The two go hand in hand, and over 140 years since an Italian inventor filed a patent for the world’s first espresso machine, a Milanese manufacturer still leads the way.”
Each of Rocket Espresso's machines is handmade in Milan, and the Rapha collaboration is no exception. The two have used the R58 as the base, adding unique Rapha branding across the machinery.If you're a coffee connoisseur, there's no doubt that Rocket Espresso has been on your radar. It is a dream for coffee snobs out there.
Motivated by the belief that cycling and coffee are a classic combination essentially ordained by the heavens, Rapha and Rocket Espresso have linked up for a limited-edition caffeine machine that’s more than its murdered-out exterior, eyebrow-raising price tag, and bragging rights.
Similar to just about any other modern-day tech in our lives, Rapha and Rocket Espresso have streamlined the user experience by letting you control this coffee machine’s entire myriad of functions via touch-screen display – and according to the site listing, unlike previous iterations of the R58, it now includes an automatic on/off function, so it’s always ready to make “the world’s finest coffee” at the drop of a dime.
Other notable highlights include stainless steel portafilter (single spout) finished with a luxurious wooden handle, no-burn steam and water wand, a high-grade rotary pump that can draw water either from the machine’s internal reservoir or directly from the main supply, as well as a full stainless steel drip tray.
