Rocket Espresso Milano is one of the most reputable brands in the world of espresso. Handmade in Milan, Rocket espresso machines are instantly recognised and appreciated for their beauty as much as their functionality and reliability. While Rocket may be better-known for its premium home espresso machines, Rocket also has a rapidly expanding range of commercial espresso machines that are becoming increasingly popular. The new Rocket Boxer Tank is designed to bridge the gap between the 1-group prosumer machine and the 2-group commercial machines, giving the small business a capable but compact machine for all types of coffee-making scenarios.

About the Rocket Boxer Tank espresso machine

The Rocket Boxer Tank is the little sibling of the Rocket Boxer, a compact but full-size 2-group commercial espresso machine which is full-featured, reliable and surprisingly affordable. Unlike that Boxer, the Boxer Tank is a single-group machine, designed to fit in small spaces and draw much less power, but this is no home espresso machine. With a 5L boiler and a rotary pump, the Boxer Tank is still fully capable of serving dozens of cups of coffee per day, despite its small form factor.

Like the Rocket Boxer, the Boxer Tank comes with programmable dosing, automatic cleaning, a cool-touch steam wand and a separate hot water dispenser. In fact, from the barista's perspective, the Boxer Tank is almost indistinguishable from the full-size Boxer, except for the fact that it has one less group. Even the interface is exactly the same.

However, the Boxer Tank is built with the small or even mobile coffee business in mind. Not only does it draw less power and take up less space, but it has a built-in 3L water tank that you can manually refill, in situations where you cannot connect it to the water mains. When the boiler and tank are empty, it only weighs 35kg, making it totally realistic to transport it to events to have available as a striking mobile espresso machine.

For a business serving smaller volumes of coffee, or one that moves around, the Boxer Tank may be the ultimate compromise between form factor and capacity, with all the benefits of Rocket quality and the reliability and functionality of the full-size Rocket Boxer espresso machine.
