Machine Overview

The Rocket Mozzafiato Cronometro V is a semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $2,400, tailored for intermediate users. In contrast, the Rocket Epica, also semi-automatic, is significantly more expensive at $7,200 and designed for advanced users. Both machines are manufactured by Rocket, showcasing their reputation for quality in the espresso machine market.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the Mozzafiato uses a heat exchanger with a group type of E61 and has a heat-up time of 15 to 30 minutes. The Epica utilizes a dual boiler system with a saturated sprung lever group type and requires over 30 minutes to heat up. Both machines feature lever activation, but they differ in boiler materials and capacities; the Mozzafiato has a brass and copper construction with a steam boiler capacity of 1.8 liters, while the Epica has a stainless steel boiler with a capacity of 3.6 liters. Regarding water sources, the Mozzafiato operates from a reservoir, whereas the Epica offers a convertible option.

Features Comparison

Both machines are equipped with several key features; both support auto shutoff, boiler pressure gauge, steam pressure gauge, concurrent brew steam, hot water, PID control, pre-infusion, and shot timers. The Mozzafiato does not include flow control and dual PID control features, whereas the Epica incorporates both, along with smart connectivity. Both models come with a steam wand and solenoid valve, as well as no-burn wand technology for safety. Thus, while they share some fundamental characteristics, the distinct features cater to different user needs and expectations.
