Who is the Rocket R9V 3 Group best suited to?
The R9V 3 Group is built for busy cafés, restaurants and hospitality venues that need several brewing stations. Its three groups give your team room to prepare drinks alongside one another, while volumetric dosing helps keep the brewing routine consistent. It’s a commercial machine, so plan the counter space and electrical supply before ordering.
How many boilers does the R9V 3 Group have?
The listed setup is three 1.9 L brew boilers and a separate 12 L steam boiler, giving 17.7 L of total boiler capacity. This keeps brewing and steam production separate, so your team can pull shots and texture milk at the same time. Each brew boiler serves one of the three groups.
What does volumetric dosing do, and is there a shot timer?
Volumetric dosing controls the amount of brewing water used for a shot, helping baristas repeat their chosen dose without manually stopping every extraction. The R9V also has a built-in shot timer to help you monitor extraction time. You still need to dial in your grind and prepare the coffee consistently; volumetric dosing doesn’t weigh the espresso in the cup.
How does the R9V keep its brewing temperature stable?
PID control lets you set and maintain the brew temperature, while the saturated group system keeps the groups in contact with boiler water to help limit temperature fluctuations. Together with the separate brew boilers, this supports repeatable brewing conditions when the machine is being used throughout service.
What electrical supply does this 3 Group version require?
This listing is for the 380 V, three-phase version with a 7,400 W power rating. It is not a standard single-phase machine. Have a qualified electrician confirm that your premises can support this exact version, and have your installer check the water and drainage requirements before delivery.
How much counter space does it need, and what size are the groups?
The R9V 3 Group measures 980 mm wide, 590 mm deep and 578 mm high, and weighs 125 kg. Leave extra room for working, connections and servicing, and make sure the counter can support it. The brew group diameter is 58 mm, but that size alone doesn’t guarantee that every 58 mm portafilter will fit; check the fitting before buying accessories.
Where does the machine ship from, and are there destination restrictions?
