Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this a heat exchanger or dual boiler machine?
A: The Giotto R FAST is a heat exchanger machine with a single 1.8L boiler. This means you can brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously without waiting—the heat exchanger allows the boiler to maintain both brew and steam temperatures at the same time. Heat exchangers are prized for their simplicity, reliability, and speed.

Q: What type of pump does it use?
A: It uses a rotary pump, which provides stable, consistent pressure throughout the shot. Rotary pumps are known for their smooth operation and ability to produce balanced espresso with excellent body and sweetness.

Q: Will this machine fit my kitchen space?
A: The Giotto R FAST is a compact heat exchanger designed with Italian engineering for home and small commercial use. Check the dimensions against your available counter space, and keep in mind it needs clearance above for portafilter insertion.

Care & Maintenance

• Daily: Backflush the group head for 5-10 seconds using the blind basket (no puck) to clear coffee residue and prevent buildup
• Daily: Run fresh water through the group head and portafilter after each shot, then purge the group
• Weekly: Soak portafilters and baskets in espresso machine cleaner to remove oils and residue
• Monthly: Descale the boiler and group head using an approved espresso machine descaler to maintain water flow and heat stability
• Regular: Keep the water reservoir filled with fresh, filtered water
• Long-term: Have the machine serviced annually by an authorized Rocket technician to ensure all seals and valves remain in top condition
