RAPHA + ROCKET R58 Espresso Coffee Machine

It goes without saying that Rapha are a brand synonymous with cycling so it comes as somewhat of a surprise to see them release a glorious looking coffee machine in conjunction with Rocket. But, given that high class design is the order of the day with their cycling gear, it perhaps isn’t that surprising in retrospect and the quality of this RAPHA + ROCKET R58 Espresso Coffee Machine is second to none from both a visual and performance perspective and fans of getting on their bike and enjoying a coffee will be in their element.

The RAPHA + ROCKET R58 Espresso Coffee Machine is a limited edition R Cinquantotto espresso machine that has been handmade in Milan by Rocket Espresso. There are just 100 units available and each one is made to order exclusively for members of the Rapha Cycling Club. So, in order to get your hands on this majestic looking machine, you need to me a member of their club. It doesn’t come cheap – with a price tag of $3725 – but, truth be told, you just won’t find a classier looking coffee machine than this one anywhere on the market.

COFFEE & CYCLING COMBINE IN UNISON

Cycling and coffee are a classic combination in our opinion here at Coolector HQ.
