On the other hand, the Bezzera Aria features a heat exchanger system with a copper boiler, boasting a significantly shorter heat-up time of 5-15 minutes. Both machines use an E61 group type, with the Rocket utilizing a rotary pump while the Bezzera employs a vibration pump. The water reservoir capacities are 2.5 liters for the Rocket and 2.9 liters for the Bezzera.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, both machines come with essential gauges for boiler and steam pressure, as well as a steam wand for frothing. The Rocket R 60 V offers additional PID control with dual PID and a concurrent brew steam option, while the Bezzera Aria includes flow control, enhancing its versatility. Furthermore, the Rocket is equipped with a no-burn wand and auto shutoff feature, which is absent in the Bezzera machine. Both models include pre-infusion, shot timers, and solenoid valves, making them competitive options.
