While the brand’s compact, heat-exchange machines initially put the Italian manufacturer on the coffee map, Rocket also offers feature-rich solutions for commercial-style performance at home. For dedicated home baristas looking for a highly capable setup, the Rocket R58, also known as the R Cinquantotto, offers a dual-boiler system and a near-silent rotary pump. It represents a substantial and reliable upgrade for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/espresso-equipment-accessories\" title=\"Browse all espresso gear\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eespresso\u003c\/a\u003e enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R58 TUNE is the latest iteration of the R Cinquantotto, which translates to ‘fifty-eight’ in Italian. This name is a nod to both the machine's 0.58-litre dedicated brew boiler and its industry-standard 58mm \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/portafilters-filter-baskets\" title=\"View all espresso portafilters\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eportafilter\u003c\/a\u003e. Designed for simultaneous brewing and steaming, the dual-boiler setup features independent PID controls managed via a magnetically attached touchscreen interface. Alongside this detachable ‘communication pod’, the R58 TUNE retains the thoughtful finishing touches the Cinquantotto series is known for: height-adjustable feet, cool-touch steam and hot water wands, and classic dual analogue gauges to monitor brew and steam pressure at a glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the TUNE’s boilers are constructed from brass and copper for superior heat retention. The 0.58-litre brew boiler works alongside a 1.8-litre steam boiler, providing consistent steam pressure even while extracting espresso. Each boiler is powered by a 1,400W heating element, managed by a system with a maximum concurrent draw of 1,550W to remain home-kitchen friendly. This setup is paired with proven commercial-style features, including a quiet rotary pump with the flexibility to use the 2.5-litre internal reservoir or plumb directly into your water mains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo adjust the R58 TUNE's settings, this Rocket machine includes a magnetically attached digital touchscreen ‘communication pod’. This interface allows for straightforward control over the PID-enabled boilers and provides a live shot timer for monitoring your extraction. It also features a programmable automatic on\/off schedule, allowing you to set the machine to heat up before your morning routine. If you prefer a strictly mechanical aesthetic while brewing, the communication pod is fully detachable—letting you tuck the screen away and enjoy the classic form factor of the R58 on your countertop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s new with the Rocket R58 TUNE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R58 TUNE evolves Rocket’s established dual-boiler platform by introducing a three-phase TUNE system. This espresso machine allows you to set pre-programmed times for pre-infusion and post-infusion at a fixed pressure. The gentle 3-bar pre-infusion ensures even puck saturation and reduces the risk of channelling during the main extraction phase, while the 3-bar post-infusion finishing stage gently tapers off extraction to minimise unwanted bitterness. By managing these variables, you have the precise tools needed to tailor each shot to a specific \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/newest-coffee-beans\" title=\"Shop our latest coffees\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecoffee\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the internal upgrades, the machine introduces a practical workflow improvement for the home barista. Rather than rotating a traditional knob several times, the new push-turn valves allow you to simply press the knob for a quick, single-tap purge, or turn it to lock in full, continuous pressure for steaming milk or dispensing hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded with Rocket R58 TUNE Espresso Machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic touchscreen communication pod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 58mm portafilters; single- and double-spouted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree portafilter baskets; single, double, and blind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRocket-branded heavy-duty metal tamper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlumbing kit, water inlet \u0026amp; waste drain hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-testing strips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaning brush \u0026amp; microfibre cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB dongle with ‘digital welcome pack’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRocket R58 TUNE Espresso Machine features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual copper boiler system with brass end plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual PID control for greater temperature stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetachable PID touchscreen panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic on\/off settings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital shot timer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-sized commercial rotary pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal reservoir or direct water connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight-adjustable feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel chassis designed by V12 Studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool-touch wands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick purging with push-turn knob for steam \u0026amp; hot water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable stainless steel cup warmer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow water indication system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable 3-bar pre- \u0026amp; post-infusion via the TUNE system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroup head thermosyphon for temperature stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual analogue manometers for both brew \u0026amp; steam pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRocket R58 TUNE Espresso Machine specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrew boiler capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.58L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteam boiler capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5L internal reservoir or direct plumb-in (kit included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dual PID (via magnetic touchscreen pod)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1,550W (2 x 1,400W heating elements)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220–240V, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W 408* x D 440 x H 385 mm *includes display pod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29.0 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: polished stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoilers: Copper with brass end plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rocket","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67657234022534,"sku":"ROC\/RE798A1A11","price":79120.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/5548\/files\/Rocket_R58_TUNE_Hero.jpg?v=1791788729","url":"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/rocket-r58-tune-espresso-machine","provider":"Cape Coffee Beans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
