Rocket Boxer 2 Group Tall Cup Commercial Espresso Machine with Shot Timer
The Rocket Boxer 2 Group is a compact commercial heat-exchange espresso machine designed for cafés and hospitality bars that need two simultaneous workstations without the width of a larger flagship chassis. Its 13.2-liter copper boiler supports brewing, steaming and hot-water demand, while automatic volumetric dosing and integrated shot timers help baristas repeat recipes during service.
This tall-cup configuration accommodates cups up to approximately 120mm. At 630mm—or about 24.8 inches—wide, the Boxer offers two groups in a footprint that can suit small cafés, bakeries, mobile installations and restaurant counters where every inch matters.
Why Choose the Boxer 2 Group?
Two-group productivity in a compact body
Two baristas can work at the groups simultaneously, or one barista can stage multiple shots during a rush. The relatively narrow chassis preserves more counter space for grinders, tamping and drink assembly.
Automatic volumetric portions
Programmed dosing lets the barista start extraction and move to steaming or preparation. Recalibrate whenever coffee, basket or dose changes because puck resistance and grinder drift still affect beverage yield.
Integrated shot timers
Group-level timing provides immediate feedback without separate timers. Pair time with measured yield and taste to identify when the grind needs adjustment.
13.2-liter copper boiler
The thermosiphon HX boiler stores energy for repeated milk steaming and hot water while feeding both groups. It provides a larger service reserve than the Boxer 1 Group.
Tall-cup and cool-touch workflow
Extra cup clearance supports takeaway service, and cool-touch stainless steam wands improve handling during repeated milk drinks.

Capacity and Buyer Fit
The Boxer 2 Group is intended for low- to medium-volume commercial service where two group positions and strong steam capacity matter. Build a realistic demand model around the busiest 15-minute period, milk-drink percentage, cup size, staffing and hot-water use. Daily cup totals alone can hide a concentrated morning rush.
For smaller one-barista programs, the Boxer 1 Group reduces electrical demand and width. For separate brew-temperature control and fully saturated groups, move to the Rocket Doppia. For individual PID-controlled brew boilers at each group, the Rocket R9 is the more advanced platform.

Site Planning and Water
Provide a dedicated circuit matching the final machine specification, treated water at the required pressure, an accessible shutoff, and an approved drain arrangement. Confirm phase, plug and receptacle before shipping. Test water chemistry before selecting filtration, and preserve clearance for technicians to remove panels.
Cleaning and Preventive Maintenance
Backflush both groups on a schedule matched to drink volume, clean shower screens and baskets, soak portafilter metal parts appropriately, and purge steam before and after every milk cycle. Confirm volumetric programming daily and arrange preventive service for wear items, water treatment and safety checks.
Build a Commercial Rocket Bar
Compare all Rocket commercial machines and the complete Rocket collection. Pair the Boxer with one or two commercial espresso grinders sized for peak demand and redundancy.
