Rocket Mozzafiato V Fast & Giotto R Fast – The big comparison at La Barista
Here in Landshut at the La Barista Showroom, we have thoroughly tested both new Fast models from Rocket Espresso. The Mozzafiato V Fast and the Giotto R Fast are currently among the best dual boilers on the market. They impress with the latest Fast-Heat technology, uncompromising craftsmanship, and classic Rocket design lines. We are happy to advise you personally and, if desired, also put together the perfect bundle with grinder and accessories for you.
Heating time: How fast are the new Fast models really?
The Fast-Heat technology ensures a remarkably short heating time of about 10 to 12 minutes. This means long waiting times in the morning are a thing of the past. The machines are quickly ready for the first espresso or cappuccino after being switched on.
Differences between Mozzafiato V Fast and Giotto R Fast
Both models are equipped with a 1.8-liter brass boiler, a PID temperature controller, and a classic E61 brew group. The stainless steel housing is also finished to the highest standard. Nevertheless, there are significant differences:
-
The Mozzafiato V Fast is equipped with a vibration pump and operates exclusively via the internal water tank. It is ideal for use in households where no fixed water connection is available.

The Giotto R Fast, on the other hand, features a quiet rotary pump that allows both tank operation and connection to a fixed water line. This makes it particularly interesting for small cafés or home baristas with professional aspirations.

The name "R" stands for "rotary pump", while the "V" of the Mozzafiato indicates "vibration pump".
How do the designs differ?
The Giotto has always had the distinctive beveled side walls that make it visually special. The Mozzafiato, on the other hand, features straight sides, giving it a more modern and somewhat compact appearance. Both are high-quality crafted and fit into any stylish kitchen.
How does PID control work?
Both machines offer you a digital PID controller, allowing you to precisely set the brewing temperature in 1-degree increments. Especially when you use different coffee varieties and roast profiles, this ensures consistent results during extraction.
Espresso & milk foam at the same time?
Yes, both are classic dual-circuit machines and allow you to prepare espresso and milk foam in parallel. The powerful boiler and solid temperature stability make this possible without any limitations – whether you are just drinking an espresso or entertaining guests.
Energy consumption and Eco mode
The Fast models are more efficient than previous Rocket machines. Thanks to optimized boiler insulation and modern electronics, you can noticeably save energy in everyday use. Additionally, both models feature an Eco mode that further reduces energy consumption during extended periods of non-use.
Cleaning and maintenance – how time-consuming?
Care is easy if you follow some routines:
-
Backflush the brew group at least once a week
-
Rinse the steam wand after each use and clean the outside
-
Regularly empty and rinse the water tank
-
Descaling every few months depending on water hardness
Of course, at La Barista we are also happy to advise you during maintenance or take care of service and care for you upon request.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, through specialist dealers like us, you get a 2-year warranty on both models. Rocket Espresso is known for its durable technology and high availability of spare parts.
Who are the fast models suitable for?
Both machines are aimed at ambitious home baristas, coffee lovers with high standards, and small businesses. The quick readiness for use, the possibility of customization, and the high-quality workmanship make the decision easy – depending on whether you need a fixed water connection or not.
