Is the Rocket Boxer Timer 2 Group suitable for a busy cafe?
Yes. It's designed for cafes, coffee shops and restaurants that need to prepare several espresso orders together. Two group heads give your team room to work on drinks at the same time, while the low-profile design keeps the counter open for talking with customers. Its suitability for your busiest periods will depend on your menu and workflow, not just the number of groups.
Can I brew espresso and steam milk at the same time?
Yes. The Boxer Timer 2 Group has a 13.2-liter heat-exchange boiler that supports brewing and milk steaming at the same time. That helps keep espresso, cappuccino and latte orders moving together. It also uses a rotary pump, making this a different setup from a small domestic machine.
How do the volumetric controls and shot timers help with consistency?
You can program the water volume for your shots, and flow sensors control delivery to that setting. The built-in shot timers let your baristas follow extraction time while making coffee. Together, they make it easier to repeat a recipe and notice when the grind needs adjusting, while leaving coffee preparation in your team's hands.
Should I choose the 220–240 V or 380 V version?
Choose the version that matches your site's electrical supply. The 220–240 V version is listed as single-phase, while the 380 V version is three-phase with a 4,300 W rating. Please contact us to confirm the exact power rating for the 220–240 V configuration before ordering, and have your electrician check the supply and circuit requirements. These are separate versions, not an automatic dual-voltage machine.
Does automatic backflushing take care of all the cleaning?
It helps with group cleaning, but you'll still need to follow the machine's regular daily cleaning routine. The Boxer Timer has an automatic backflush program to make that part of the job easier, along with insulated cool-touch steam wands that are easier to handle and clean after milk preparation.
How much counter space does the 2 Group model need?
It measures 630 mm wide, 490 mm deep and 471 mm high, and weighs 61 kg. Leave extra space for connections, servicing and comfortable use of the steam wands rather than planning around the dimensions alone. Check that your counter can safely support it and that there's suitable access for delivery and installation.
Where does the Boxer Timer ship from, and are there any restrictions?
We ship from Italy, with dispatch listed as 2–3 business days. That's the time before it leaves, not the delivery time to your door. We can't ship Rocket products to Australia or New Zealand. Contact us before ordering if you'd like to confirm shipping arrangements for your destination.
