https://rocket-espresso.com/pdf/ROCKET_Domestic_Catalog.pdf(archived) — Official Rocket Espresso domestic catalogue, read firsthand 2026-07-15. The Epica page states verbatim it is 'Featuring a fully saturated brewing group' with stainless-steel dual boilers (5.5 L total: 1.9 L coffee + 3.6 L steam). The catalogue prints no portafilter diameter, and this is a saturated group (not E61), so the 58mm figure rests on the measured source below.

Its B70 (tamper 58 / 58.4 mm) list — headed 'E61 & compatible groups' and explicitly including saturated-group makers such as LA MARZOCCO, SLAYER and SYNESSO — names ROCKET among the 58mm brands. A basket maker's measured fitment, the basis for the diameter here.
