The Vivaldi II is a workhorse of an espresso machine and one in which we take great pride in from our time collaborating with La Spaziale. Some thoughtful updates to the original are the new exterior design, programmable passive pre-infusion, dual manometer, and a new LED display that shows your temperature in 1-degree increments. This ultimately will allow you to pull a much more accurate shot of espresso.

Rocket Espresso has been known for years for their flashy and sleek design, with an unwavering obsession in delivering café-quality drinks. Like any E61 group head, you’ll get pre-infusion of water, helping to settle the grounds within the bed of coffee. Despite its remarkably small form factor, you get plenty of power from this machine, and can easily make multiple milk-based rinks in a row. You’ll love how quiet it is. Rocket Espresso took additional steps to ensure that the vibratory pump’s noise is at a minimum. Rest assured, you won’t accidentally wake up anyone else in the house if you’re an early riser.

Another great feature with the Elizabeth, not commonly seen with espresso machines, is the ability to program timed shots. Once programmed, the Elizabeth will begin and end extraction with just the push of a button.
