In contrast, the Rocket Giotto Cronometro R comes at a lower price of $2850, also positioned as an advanced semi-automatic option. Both brands, Lelit and Rocket, are renowned for their quality espresso machines. Given their similar market segment, they cater to espresso enthusiasts seeking a more hands-on brewing experience.

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a lever for activation and feature an E61 group type. The Lelit Bianca V3 is equipped with a dual boiler system, with a brew boiler capacity of 0.8 liters and a steam boiler capacity of 1.5 liters, while the Rocket Giotto employs a heat exchanger with a larger steam boiler capacity of 1.8 liters. Both machines have a water reservoir capacity of 2.5 liters and share a heat up time of 15-30 minutes. However, the brew boiler capacity is notably absent in the Rocket model.

Features Comparison

Both machines boast a comprehensive set of features, including auto shutoff, boiler and steam pressure gauges, and features that allow for concurrent brewing and steaming.
