The Rocket Appartamento TCA is the next generation of Rocket Espresso's most popular compact espresso machine. While retaining the unmistakable Appartamento design, Rocket has completely redesigned key components, including the electronics and brew group, to provide greater temperature control, improved efficiency and an even better user experience.
The distinctive circular side inserts have been redesigned with greater depth, creating a more striking visual appearance. The Rocket logo on the rear panel further enhances the machine's elegant Italian styling.
The newly developed TCA (Temperature Control Adjustment) system allows users to choose between four preset brewing temperatures. This enables optimal extraction for different coffee beans and roast profiles. An automatic standby mode can also be activated, reducing energy consumption after 30 minutes of inactivity.
Improved boiler insulation reduces overall energy consumption by up to 15% while maintaining excellent thermal stability during brewing.
At the heart of the machine is a 1.8-litre insulated copper boiler paired with Rocket's redesigned E61 brew group. The dual-circuit system allows simultaneous espresso extraction and milk frothing, making it perfect for cappuccino, flat white and latte macchiato preparation.
The generous 2.5-litre water reservoir provides excellent autonomy without requiring a direct water connection. Boiler pressure can be monitored using the integrated pressure gauge.
