Some people consider the domestic espresso machines built by Italian company ECM in the 1980's as legendary. When we at Rocket Espresso purchased the rights to build those very machines, we certainly thought so. We then set about turning the legendary machines into the finest handmade espresso machines. Our machines had to be beautiful and made with meticulous care and attention to detail. More importantly the machines of Rocket Espresso had to be capable of producing the finest espresso. Rocket Espresso, a partnership between New Zealanders Andrew Meo and Italian Daniele Berenbruch, whose father had been the inspiration behind those very first machines.
