| As of June, 2006, ECM in Italy spun off the Giotto Premium and Cellini Premium into a new company called Rocket Espresso. Rocket Espresso is now managed by Andrew Meo, from new Zealand, and Daniele Berenbruch, the daughter of Friedrich Berenbruch (founder of ECM). The purpose of the spin-off was to improve production of these two very popular models which always had demand outstrip supply on a worldwide basis. With Rocket Espresso formed, ECM can better manage their production of their commercial espresso machines. |

Features
- The Cellini was "rated the best small commercial espresso machine" by David Schomer of Cafe Vivace magazine of Seattle and Derfeinschmecker magazine of Germany and dubbed the "Rolls Royce" of filter handle espresso machines by Test magazine.
- This espresso machine has a professional heavy-duty Faema E-61 coffee brewing group with thermosyphon circulation system. This group is three times heavier than most non-commercial groups for superior thermal stability.
- Immediate availability of espresso coffee, steam or hot water
- Small lever on brew group engages microswitch to pump water through grouphead and coffee in filter handle
- Pre-infusion possible by engaging lever to point prior to engaging microswtich
- Incorporated true Faema E61 grouphead that has water in the heat exchanger flowing through the gouphead for maximum temperature stability when extracting espresso
- Boiler is nickel-plated for added durability
- Auto water refill circuitry maintains water level in internal boiler
- Boiler Capacity: 1.8 liters
- Water reservoir removable for cleaning and refill
- Sensor in water reservoir to inactivate machine when water is low
- Water Reservoir Capacity: 2.9 liters
- All stainless steel finished with a mirror polish
- Nicely fit boiler gauge shows the pressure in the boiler which is indirectly related to the temperature
- Removable drip tray and cover for easy cleaning
- Long steam wand with two hole steam tip
- Swivel-based (side to side) steam and hot water arms
- Medium-sized gauge on front panel to measure boiler pressure
- Internal pressure regulator monitors pressure in boiler
- Safety valve in boiler to deplete steam pressure when over allowable limits
- Accessories: Measuring spoon, bakelite tamper, single spout filter holder, 1-cup filter basket, dual spout filter holder, 2-cup filter basket, and instructions
- Please note that the instructions state year of manufacture is 1997. This is when the Giotto was first produced. Our inventory turnover occurs several times a year so that our customers get the latest and greatest production model.
- Effective for purchases made on or after July 22, 2007, the parts and labor
- warranty is limited to manufacturer's defect for a period of an twenty-four (24) months from the original purchase date.

- ETL Listed
- Measurements: 13.8"H x 11.5"W x 17"D
- Ulka EX5 Brass Pump 41 watts (please note that there is very minute difference in noise levels when compared to a 52 watt pump - there is practically no difference in espresso quality found in the cup)
- Upgraded pressure regulator
- No-burn multi-directional steam and water wands
- Larger steam and hot water valves when compared to Giotto Classic
- Superior portafilter handles with respect to structural integrity
- Internal filter to capture large particles, liquid level sensor shuts off machine when there is no water in removable reservoir, heavy weight bleeder valve to relieve vacuum pressure which builds when machine cools down, and heavy duty expansion safety relief valve that opens when the too much pressure is built up in the boiler.
- Improved internal packaging to avoid machine damage during shipping!
- Note: Please be aware that the instruction manual makes reference to black handles in the reservoir. The Cellini Premium uses a superior low water sensor that does not need these handles in the reservoir.
- Note: Water Intake Expansion Hose - This hose is held in by friction in the top left corner of the machine. Its purpose is to displace excess water pressure in the water reservoir catch basin every time the water reservoir is removed or placed back into position. This hose sometimes falls off its holder in shipping. If it falls off, there will be leakage of water from the machine when powered off. To resolve, please remove the 4 screws off the top cover and pull the water reservoir and top cover off. You will probably find a hose on the floor. This hose needs to be placed into the slot in the upper left hand corner of the machine. Once this accomplished, put the cover, the 4 screws, and water tank in place. The leaking should stop.
