The R9 range sits at the top of that line-up, designed for specialty cafés where every shot is judged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rocket R9 is a multi-boiler commercial machine designed by engineer Ennio Berti around one priority: temperature stability. Each group has its own 1.9L stainless steel brew boiler with PID control, adjustable in 0.1°C steps, feeding a fully saturated group. A 9L steam boiler controlled by a pressure transducer recovers steam pressure far faster than a traditional pressurestat — critical when milk orders stack up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause each group runs independently, you can set one group for your house espresso and the other for a light-roast single origin, without compromise. Rocket also lowered the machine's height so your baristas can see and talk to customers over the top — a small detail that changes how a bar feels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIndependent 1.9L Brew Boilers (Per-Group Temperature)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach group has its own PID-controlled stainless boiler, so you can run two coffees at two different temperatures side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFully Saturated Groups (Shot-to-Shot Stability)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrew water stays at a consistent temperature right to the puck, even through back-to-back service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePressure Transducer Steam Control (Fast Recovery)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9L steam boiler recovers pressure quickly between jugs, keeping milk quality consistent at volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAutomatic Volumetric Dosing with Shot Timers (Consistency Across Staff)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProgrammed doses on each group and individual shot timers help every barista hit the same recipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCool-Touch Steam Wands with Lever Valves (Safety and Speed)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly the tip heats up, and lever-operated valves open and close in one movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLow-Profile Body (Customer Connection)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA lowered machine height keeps eye contact between barista and customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho It's Built For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R9 is for specialty cafés and high-quality hospitality venues where espresso is the product, not a side line — roasteries with a tasting bar, multi-origin cafés running a guest espresso, and busy coffee shops that need milk performance to hold up through a morning rush. If you want precise multi-boiler control without moving into pressure profiling, this is the R9 to choose. If you want full pressure profiling, see the R9V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuying and Installation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R9 2 Group draws 5.9kW and must be plumbed into a mains water line with drainage. It needs a dedicated electrical circuit installed by a qualified electrician, and we strongly recommend inline water filtration to protect the stainless boilers. Contact us before ordering so we can confirm your site's power, water and counter space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGroups\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMulti-boiler, fully saturated groups\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrew Boilers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 × 1.9L, stainless steel AISI 304\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteam Boiler\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThermal Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePID (0.1°C increments) \/ pressure transducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePortion Control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAutomatic volumetric\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShot Timer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard, per group\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteam Wands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel, cool touch, lever-operated valves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Height\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.9kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (W×D×H)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e760 × 590 × 497mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact us for details\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBodywork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel AISI 304\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse Case\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommercial — specialty café\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContact us for details\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSummary\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R9 gives your bar independent temperature control on every group, steam that keeps pace with your busiest hour, and a low profile that keeps your baristas facing your customers.
