With a contemporary design and enhanced features, this new model elevates the coffee-making experience at home to a whole new level.

TCA, short for Temperature Control Adjustment, represents a novel regulation system that employs a PID controller to ensure a steady temperature is upheld within the boiler.

e61 group head on Rocket

E61 Group Head

It also features E61 commercial group heads which means you will always have consistent temperatures when pulling your shot. Just remember, with the heat exchange boiler you will want to pull a 7 second flush to get the water a consistent temperature.

Heat Exchange Espresso Machine

The heat exchange espresso machine is designed to provide a consistent and efficient brewing experience. By utilizing a heat exchange system, the machine is able to simultaneously heat water for brewing and produce steam for frothing milk. This ensures that the temperature of the water remains stable throughout the brewing process, resulting in a flavorful and well-extracted shot of espresso.

PID Temperature Control

PID, an abbreviation for Proportional-Integral-Derivative, is a feedback loop controller utilized in espresso machines to regulate and maintain the water temperature within the boiler. It means you can regulate the temperature on the machine.

With PID controller espresso machines, you ensure that the water temperature remains constant and ideal for producing high-quality espresso.

Extra Features You Will Love

It features a large 2-liter bottom fed reservoir, a 3-way solenoid valve and a lower profile thanks to the puck style feet. The clearance for the group head is 3.5 inches so most espresso containers will fit.

Group Head Warmer

Having a small flow of water off the boiler is essential for keeping your machine's group head warm, which in turn ensures more consistent shot temperatures. By maintaining this consistent warmth, you can achieve optimal brewing conditions and produce high-quality espresso shots with every use.

No-Burn Steam Wands

With these revolutionary features, you can froth and steam milk without any concerns about getting burned. The cool touch technology ensures that the wand remains at a safe temperature, allowing you to focus on creating the perfect espresso drinks without any worries.

Rounded Sides

Round contours give this espresso machine a whole new aesthetic and a new perspective among owners. The smooth curves draw in the eye.

1.8L Copper Boiler

Copper boilers in espresso machines offer exceptional heat conductivity, ensuring rapid heating and faster recovery times for a quicker startup. Maintaining optimal brewing temperatures is essential for consistently good espresso, and copper's ability to uphold steady temperatures contributes to a consistent brew quality. Additionally, copper's natural antimicrobial properties make it a hygienic choice for espresso machines by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.

Debossed Holes

The machine's unique circles on the sides have been enhanced with a debossing technique, creating a three-dimensional effect.

Perfect for Home Baristas

We love the fact that it is a very compact machine that can fit in almost any kitchen or small office. Even though it has a small footprint, this machine packs a punch. You get all the full features of other Rocket machines delivered in a small compact package.

Vibratory Pump

The Rocket Appartamento espresso machine features a 52-watt vibratory pump, a widely-used model known for its dependable performance and strength. Furthermore, special enhancements have been implemented to minimize the noise generated by the pump's vibrations.

Boiler Gauge

The pressure gauge on espresso machines is vital for producing top-notch espresso. It shows the pressure used to extract the coffee, ensuring that water passes through the grounds in the portafilter at the right force. Keeping this pressure steady is key to making excellent espresso shots every time.

ECO Functions

The Appartamento TCA features an improved Economy (ECO) Mode. Easily prepare your machine for use by simply lifting a lever. Activating ECO Mode on the Appartamento is effortless, with a convenient on/off button located at the bottom front-right corner, near the brew lever. Once engaged, this mode automatically powers down your Rocket Appartamento after 30 minutes of inactivity.

What's Included?

The espresso machine comes equipped with two complete 58 mm portafilters, providing the flexibility to brew either a single or double shot of espresso. The metal backflush disc ensures easy cleaning and maintenance of the machine, while the included 58mm metal tamper allows for precise packing of coffee grounds. Additionally, the machine includes a pastic cup rail, a 2 hole steam tip, and a scoop for measuring the perfect amount of coffee.
