Features and Benefits

The Bicocca, like all Rocket machines, is visually striking. Despite drawing its influence from the ashlar, an ancient architectural motif, this machine is distinctly modern and chic, artfully balancing mirror-polished chrome with sleek black metal. The steam and hot water taps are generously sized and easy to turn, with the telltale “R” on the steam valve boldly declaring this machine’s pedigree. Rocket pays homage to their “no screen” design philosophy without sacrificing the functionality offered by a navigational display by cleverly mounting the Bicocca’s 3.5-inch touchscreen on top of the group head. This ensures you only see it when you’re standing directly in front of the machine, maintaining its clean lines.

Comprehensive Control and User-Friendliness

From this display, you can seamlessly navigate the machine’s comprehensive menu offerings, which give you full control over virtually every brewing parameter imaginable: boiler temperature, steam pressure, group head temperature, precise volumetric single and double shot doses, pre-infusion timing, and much more. Despite the impressive amount of customization available for brewing on this machine, it’s also incredibly easy to use. This makes it an excellent choice for a household or office where both hobbyist brewers and novices will be using the same machine. Once the Bicocca is set up and dialed in, a single push of a button initiates an automatic brewing process that delivers repeatable, high-quality results with every shot, regardless of the user’s experience level.

Rapid Heat-Up and High Capacity

The Bicocca’s substantial 7.7 lb group head is internally heated to provide extraordinary thermal stability during extractions. This advanced heating also means the Bicocca is brew-ready in just 12 minutes—an impressive feat for a machine of this size. The 0.5 L brew boiler and 1.5 L steam boiler are both crafted from durable stainless steel, ensuring longevity. The generous 1.8 L water reservoir means you won’t need to refill the machine too often. Of course, the robust rotary pump is fully plumbable, so you can easily hook it up to a direct water line for a never-ending supply of brew water, ideal for high-volume use.

Why You Should Get It

The Rocket Espresso Bicocca achieves the impressive feat of being truly dual-purpose. It’s simultaneously a prosumer-grade machine capable of serving the needs of true hobbyist brewers who demand extreme precision and the latest features, and an easy-to-use, approachable way to consistently get a great shot, simply if that’s all you’re interested in. Coupled with its impressive stamina for repeated brewing without losing temperature stability, the Bicocca is a compelling solution for any shared space. Its blend of high performance, intuitive controls, rapid heat-up, and stunning design makes it an exceptional choice for anyone serious about their coffee.
