Rocket R58 TUNE
The latest evolution of Rocket's flagship dual boiler, succeeding the R58 Cinquantotto. TUNE technology builds a fixed 3-bar pre-infusion and end-of-shot pressure ramp-down into programmable three-stage profiles to fight channeling and overextraction, while a magnetic touchscreen Communication Pod on the top left sets both PID-controlled boilers. A heated fast-warming E61 group has it ready in about 15 minutes, and the self-priming rotary pump runs from the tank or plumbed in.
Price and availability on Whole Latte Love's site may differ.
