In terms of brewing information, the Rancilio Silvia Pro X utilizes a rocker switch for activation and features a dual boiler with a brew boiler capacity of 0.3 liters and heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. The Rocket Cinquantotto R, on the other hand, employs a lever for activation and also has a dual boiler, but with a larger brew boiler capacity of 0.6 liters and a longer heat-up time of 15-30 minutes. Both machines have a chrome-plated brass brew group, however, the Rancilio uses saturated group type, whereas the Rocket uses an E61 group type.

Features Comparison
