Rocket Espresso has officially taken up more room in our commercial espresso machine lineup.
We now carry a wider range of Rocket commercial espresso machines, including the RE Doppia, R9, and Boxer Timer. That means more options for new cafe buildouts, restaurants adding espresso service, and coffee business owners who want a serious machine without jumping straight to the highest price tier.
Rocket machines look sharp on bar. Just check out the back profile of the RE Doppia. But the bigger story is how the commercial lineup gives different businesses a few clear paths depending on space, volume, workflow, and budget.
Not every bar needs the same machine. Not every buildout has the same budget. And not every espresso program needs to pay for features it will never use.
The Rocket Espresso machine lineup has options for all your potential needs.
RE DOPPIA ESPRESSO MACHINE: THE BUSY-BAR WORKHORSE
The RE Doppia is the machine we expect a lot of cafe owners to look at first.
It has the things you want in a serious 2-group commercial machine: dual boilers, saturated groups, volumetric controls, and a setup built for steady service. In plain cafe terms, it's designed to help your team keep drinks moving without making the bar more complicated than it needs to be.
This is the Rocket machine that feels most naturally suited to a modern cafe buildout. It gives you temperature stability, repeatable dosing and a clean bar presence, while still feeling practical for everyday service.
Best fit: busy cafes, restaurants and coffee shop owners who want a capable 2-group machine with strong daily workflow.
R9 ESPRESSO MACHINE: MORE CONTROL AT EACH GROUP
The R9 is the more advanced machine in the lineup, with a multi-boiler setup and per-group temperature control.
That gives you more room to fine-tune recipes across the bar, especially if you want each group to run independently. It is not automatically the better fit for every cafe, but it makes sense if that extra control matters to your workflow.
Best fit: cafes that want independent group temperature control and more recipe flexibility.
BOXER TIMER ESPRESSO MACHINE: STRAIGHTFORWARD COMMERCIAL POWER
The Boxer Timer is the entry-level end of the Rocket commercial lineup.
It gives you key commercial features like volumetric dosing, integrated shot timing, a large boiler and cool-touch steam wands in a more straightforward package.
For cafe owners watching the buildout budget closely, the Boxer Timer gives you a way into Rocket’s commercial lineup without paying for features you may not need.
Best fit: coffee shops, restaurants and smaller commercial spaces on a tight budget that want a reliable, no-fuss espresso machine for daily service.
THREE ROCKETS, THREE DIFFERENT JOBS
The expanded Rocket lineup gives commercial customers more room to choose.
The RE Doppia is the steady 2-group workhorse for busy bars.
The R9 is the control-focused option for programs that want independent group temperatures.
The Boxer Timer is the practical commercial pick for teams that want strong daily performance without overcomplicating the bar.
All three give you a way to bring Rocket into a commercial buildout, but they don’t all try to solve the same problem, which is kinda the point.
A new cafe has enough decisions to make. The espresso machine should fit the business, not the other way around.
