What is it?

The Rocket Appartamento TCA is an Italian-built and designed heat exchange espresso machine. Replacing the older pressure-stat model, TCA stands for temperature control adjustment, which utilizes a precise internal PID that employs an algorithm to maintain a set temperature, allowing you to set a temperature based on a coffee’s roast level. No temperature surfing is required. Instead of using a display to change the temperature, the Appartamento remains simple and free of screens and extra buttons—allowing you to enter programming mode using the main power switch and use the brew lever to choose from four different pre-set temperatures.

Red Light Indicator Flash:

1 flash: ~196F or low temperature
2 flashes: ~200F or medium
3 flashes: ~203F or high
4 flashes:~ 208F or very high

Durable one-piece solid stainless steel frame
New look E61 group head
New bold Rocket logo on the rear machine panel
Angled and rubberized portafilters with chrome tips
Insulated steam wand
Magnets to secure drip tray on the frame
The heating light doubles as a low-water indicator

Who is it for?

The home barista who has a compact but stylish kitchen needs a machine that can produce consistently delicious shots and provide the steam power for multiple lattes. The four temperature settings give the home barista an added layer of precision, giving espresso-only purists more accuracy and less guesswork for non-PID heat exchangers.

Why do we carry it?

The Rocket Appartamento packs an unreasonable amount of power into a wonderfully small package, making it an easy pick for those who need a top-notch machine but are short on space. If you want to serve a dinner party of milk drinks, the Appartamento will have you covered, and it certainly won't let you down when you want to get nerdy and try different recipes.
