EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Rocket Giotto Cronometro R is priced at $2850, while the Bezzera Matrix DE is slightly higher at $2999. Both machines cater to advanced users and fall under the semi-automatic category, suggesting a level of complexity in their operation. This positions them well for enthusiasts or professionals seeking a more hands-on espresso-making experience. Given their pricing, both machines reflect quality and performance suitable for serious coffee aficionados.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Rocket Giotto uses a lever activation method, while the Bezzera Matrix utilizes a button activation. The Rocket's heating system features a heat exchanger with a steam boiler capacity of 1.8 liters, compared to the Bezzera’s dual boiler system with a steam boiler capacity of 1.1 liters. The water reservoir capacity for the Rocket is 2.5 liters, while the Bezzera offers a larger capacity of 4 liters. Both machines have a heat-up time ranging from 15 to 30 minutes.

Features Comparison

When considering their features, both machines include auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauges, steam pressure gauges, and concurrent brew steam capabilities. The Bezzera Matrix enriches its offerings with flow control and dual PID control, which the Rocket Giotto does not have. Both machines feature a pre-infusion function, shot timers, solenoid valves, steam wands, and no-burn wands. While they share many features, the inclusion of dual PID control in the Bezzera may provide enhanced temperature stability during brewing.
