One fun “upgrade” I experienced at Zwift Community Live in Mallorca this past March was the addition of quality espresso. While ZCL 2025 offered unremarkable coffee made by resort staff, 2026 took it up several levels with trained baristas pulling shots on top-of-the-line Rocket Espresso machines.
At the event, Rocket Espresso announced the upcoming release of a beautiful Zwift-branded machine. And today, those machines are officially on sale! Here’s the press release:
Rocket Espresso and Zwift have teamed up to launch a limited-edition collaboration that blends the precision of Italian engineering with the high-octane energy of the world’s biggest digital cycling community.
At its heart, the Mozzafiato Fast delivers the renowned Rocket Espresso experience, refined, powerful, and consistent. With its beautiful stainless-steel exterior, this machine is unmistakably a Rocket Espresso, designed to look stunning in any home. This special edition brings subtle Zwift DNA into every detail. Discreet ‘Big Zee’ logos are seamlessly integrated into the machine’s design, while striking orange gauge needles add a signature burst of energy and an unmistakable nod to speed and momentum.
The Mozzafiato FAST (meaning “Breathtaking”) is designed to keep pace with your busiest training blocks. Featuring a new rapid-heating system, this machine is ready to pull a pro-grade shot almost as fast as you can click “Join Ride.” Whether you’re prepping for a social ride in Watopia or in need of a pre-work pickup, the Mozzafiato FAST ensures you’re never waiting on your caffeine.
Available from today, the Rocket Espresso x Zwift Mozzafiato FAST is strictly limited to 200 units – once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Espresso Bellissimo
After discovering the joy of a quality espresso made at home, I went down the third-wave coffee rabbit hole. I’m still there. Looking to upgrade my home setup, I’ve had my eye on Rocket Espresso machines for a while, because they combine what I love about espresso (Italian design, cycling roots) with commercial performance.
(The first such machine I ever used, in fact, was when Monica and I stayed a few days at Zwiftcast creator Simon Schofield’s Girona home. Simon, being a man of impeccable taste, has owned not one, but two quality Rocket Espresso machines.)
I’m working on securing a Mozzafiato Fast Zwift Edition for Zwift Insider’s home office, with an upgraded grinder to boot. Because it just feels like the right thing to do.
If I manage to get one, I’ll pull a whole lotta shots, then post a full review. Stay tuned…
What do you think?
I’ll just say this now, to ward off the comments: Rocket Espresso machines are premium products, and their premium pricing won’t work for everyone. Like other Zwift collabs, it’s a high-end, limited product with correspondingly high-end, limited appeal.
With that said, if you love Zwift and fine coffee as I do, this may be your new favorite kitchen appliance/Italian art piece. Share your thoughts below…
4000 dollars?
I need the secret to this tax bracket.
Can’t we just use XPs or drops to buy one???
This hobby sometimes… 🤣
Right?!
This reads just like an advert.
It’s a press release…
You know, you don’t have to post every zwift press release….unless it’s in your contract that you do.
$4000? Too plebian for my taste. I’ll wait for the Colnago branded edition. Better yet, criss promote it with a certain $250 cycling company’s corkscrew and you’d have a decent Christmas bundle for the top 1% of the 1%😁
Nothing more than a corporate write off for a millionaire. Hate the system, not the player, I guess.
Is this some kind of late Aprils Fool joke?
No, that would be the new electric Ferrari external design..
Or you could just buy a Rocket Mozzafiato FAST without the Zwift badge for about $1500 less. Just saying.
And if you love Zwift that much you can even put a sticker on it. 🙄
My sticker shock hit hard as well. But that said, when I checked the store, there are only 23 left. So obviously the appeal is there. I mean, if I had that kind of disposable income, I’d consider one myself!
Oh my…where to go with this one? How about:
-Is there an upgrade path? After one hundred shots an extra 3 bar on the pressure? Fully upgraded get an Orange Plated Cup?
-Does it receive regular updates with broken sequencing (code)?
-With the Clickr3 can I remotely start the machine?
-Virtual shots for the Pacer Bots?
Oh I could go on…
Sounds like a few Zwift executives got a free machine in exchange for some free advertising. Happens all the time.
I am unsure. I like the black model more. Special offer with grinder is below zwift version. But there is no zwift sticker. What does the oled do?
how does it compare to the appartamento from Rocket
