Frequently asked questions about Rocket Espresso
Who owns Rocket Espresso?
Rocket Espresso is owned by founders Daniele Berenbruch, who continues the family tradition. The company was formed from the partnership between New Zealander Andrew Meo and Italian Daniele Berenbruch and is based in Milan. Daniele Berenbruch continues the family tradition with Rocket Espresso, which began over 30 years ago with his father, who designed the legendary "Giotto" model.
Where is Rocket Espresso made?
Rocket Espresso manufactures its portafilter machines in Italy, specifically in the Greater Milan area. Production takes place in the suburbs of Liscate and Truccazzano, where the factory is located and the machines are handcrafted. The company places great emphasis on traditional Italian craftsmanship and the highest quality standards. All models bear the “Made in Italy” seal.
What is the lifespan of a Rocket espresso machine?
With proper care and regular maintenance, a Rocket espresso machine typically lasts well over ten years.
High-quality materials such as stainless steel, a robust construction, and precise craftsmanship ensure that Rocket machines are particularly durable.
Many users report that their devices continue to function reliably even after ten years or more, provided they are regularly cleaned, descaled, and maintained.
However, the actual lifespan strongly depends on care, water quality, and frequency of use.
What does Rocket Espresso have to do with ECM?
Rocket Espresso and ECM (Espresso Coffee Machines) have a historically close connection. Originally, ECM (Espresso Company Milano) was an Italian manufacturer that developed and produced high-quality espresso machines. In the early 2000s, a split occurred: ECM divided into two companies — ECM Manufacture, which now produces in Germany, and Rocket Espresso, which continues manufacturing in Italy.
Rocket Espresso was founded in 2007 by Andrew Meo and Daniele Berenbruch, the son of ECM founder Friedrich Berenbruch. They continued the tradition and know-how of ECM in Italy and further developed the Rocket Espresso brand. ECM founder Friedrich Berenbruch later joined the Rocket project.
Technically and visually, many models from ECM and Rocket Espresso are still similar today, as they are based on shared developments and design principles. Spare parts and components such as expansion valves or connection adapters are partially compatible between the two brands.
In summary: Rocket Espresso originated from the Italian ECM tradition and is closely linked to ECM through the founding family and technology, but today it operates as an independent brand with production in Italy, while ECM Manufacture produces in Germany.
