EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Londinium R24 and the Rocket Giotto Cronometro R are both advanced semi-automatic espresso machines aimed at experienced users. The Londinium R24 is priced at $3,858, making it more expensive than the Rocket Giotto, which retails for $2,850, representing a significant price difference between the two. Both machines are designed for users with advanced skills, suggesting a focus on detailed espresso crafting techniques.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines utilize a lever activation system and have a rotary pump type. The Londinium R24 features a copper boiler, while the Rocket Giotto includes both brass and copper in its boiler construction. The heat-up time for both machines is similar, ranging from 15 to 30 minutes. The Londinium R24 has a steam boiler capacity of 2.3L, while the Rocket Giotto has a slightly lower capacity of 1.8L but a water reservoir capacity of 2.5L, indicating more flexibility for water supply.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Londinium R24 lacks some of the automated controls present in the Rocket Giotto, such as PID control, which the latter incorporates for temperature management. The Rocket Giotto also has additional gauges for boiler and steam pressure, which might aid in monitoring performance. Both machines support concurrent brewing and steaming and include pre-infusion capabilities, but the Londinium R24 emphasizes flow control, while the Rocket Giotto boasts additional functionalities such as an automatic shutoff and a shot timer.
