Rocket R58 TUNE: What's New in the Latest R58?

The Rocket R58 has been a familiar name among home coffee enthusiasts for years, with the R Cinquantotto building on the original model. Now, Rocket Espresso introduces its latest iteration, the R58 TUNE.

While it keeps the dual-boiler setup that the R58 is known for, the new R58 TUNE comes with a refreshed look, updated controls, and a few new features that give users more room to explore their espresso.

What's new in the Rocket R58 TUNE?

At first glance, the R58 TUNE still carries the familiar look of a Rocket Espresso machine, but there are quite a few changes worth looking at.

The machine comes with an updated design, including new outward-extending feet for better stability. The communication pod is now magnetic and positioned at eye level, making it easier to view and adjust the machine's settings.

Rocket has also introduced new push-and-turn knobs for steam and purging, along with a faster heat-up time, making the machine more convenient for everyday use.

What is TUNE Technology and how does it work?

One of the biggest additions to the R58 TUNE is its new TUNE Technology.

Instead of having the same pressure throughout the entire extraction, TUNE allows users to adjust the pressure at the beginning and towards the end of a shot, while the middle runs at full pressure.

This means you can start with a gentler pre-infusion before moving into full extraction pressure, then ease off towards the end. It gives you another way to experiment with different coffees and extraction profiles.

You can also save up to two custom profiles, so you can easily return to your preferred settings without having to make the same adjustments every time.

Who is the Rocket R58 TUNE suitable for?

The R58 TUNE is a good fit for home coffee enthusiasts who enjoy experimenting with their espresso and want more control over how they brew.

With TUNE Technology, there is more room to explore different extraction profiles, while the ability to save your settings makes it easier to enjoy your preferred recipes as part of your daily coffee routine.
