The Giotto FAST is the latest version of Rocket's first model: a heat-exchanger machine built to be ready quickly, with the first coffee about twelve minutes after switch-on on average and a light that changes colour when you can start. This version, the R, has a rotary pump and runs from the tank or from the mains.
A PID holds the temperature, and a display counts the seconds of each shot. Two gauges show boiler and pump pressure. The boiler is insulated to lose less heat and use less energy while the machine stays on.
It is for someone with a water connection in the kitchen who wants a Rocket that is ready quickly and has its temperature under control; on the 1.8-litre tank alone it needs frequent refilling. At 34 cm wide and almost 46 deep, it needs counter space.
