Owning the Rocket Espresso Porta Via
Rockets most unique espresso machine, the Porta Via, is being touted as the worlds first truly portable espresso machine. The name, Italian for take away, describes its unusual ability to be packed up in a rugged carrier, similar to a musicians road case, and transported from place to place. The Porta Via doesnt skimp on quality components, either. Rocket equipped this unique machine with a 40 oz heat exchange boiler and traditional E61 group, which continuously syphons water from the boiler through the group and back, leading to serious temperature stability while brewing.
The components are the same as youd expect to find in any prosumer machine, including: an E61 group head, Ulka vibration pump, pressure gauge, as well as a commercial portafilter and wand. Plus, Rockets specially designed thermosyphon two-boiler system allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming. For added stability, the boiler temperature is regulated by an internal PID to ensure stability.
The machine is on the heavier side at just over 65 pounds, since Rocket truly wanted to provide a high-quality portable espresso machine, and, such a machine requires a bit of heft. The Porta Via is perfect for those that simply cant sacrifice quality espresso on the go. Its perfect for a second home or light entertaining at a dinner party. Plus, its a serious upgrade to any hotel room, or camp site with a power supply, perhaps more accurately called a glamp site. Directly after use, the machine can be packed up and whisked away to the next exciting locale, even if its still warm.
