Description
The Rocket Essential is a compact on-demand grinder made for home baristas who want fresh, consistent grounds without fuss. It grinds straight into your portafilter as you need it, so every shot starts with coffee at its freshest. At just 131mm wide, it sits neatly beside your espresso machine without crowding the bench.
55mm hardened steel flat burrs give you an even, consistent grind for better extraction. Stepless adjustment means there are no fixed settings, so you can make small changes to dial in each new bag of beans exactly.
The LCD screen lets you set three timed doses. Once they’re programmed, press PLAY and the Essential grinds the same amount each time, which makes your morning coffee simple and repeatable. The hands-free cradle adjusts in height to suit different portafilters, and Rocket’s Silent Technology keeps noise down.
