Rocket TCA Appartamento Black - Copper Accent

The Rocket Appartamento has long been one of the most popular home espresso machines going, and the TCA takes it a step further. Temperature Control Adjustment lets you set the boiler pressure from 0.9 to 1.2 bar in 0.1 steps. That gives you real control over brew temperature, so you can dial it in to suit your beans, whether that’s a light, fruity roast or a dark, chocolatey blend.

At its heart is a 1.8L insulated copper heat-exchange boiler and a redesigned E61 brew group. Together they give you better temperature stability and more consistent shots than the original Appartamento. Because it’s a heat-exchange machine, you can pull a shot and steam milk at the same time, so flat whites and lattes come together quickly.

This version has a matte black body with copper inserts in the signature circular side panels, set against a polished stainless steel front. The panels now have a debossed, three-dimensional finish, and a vertical Rocket logo runs down the back panel.
