Description
The Rocket Appartamento has long been one of the most popular home espresso machines going, and the TCA takes it a step further. A hybrid PID temperature control system lets you choose from four boiler pressure settings, from 0.9 to 1.2 bar. That means you can dial in the temperature to suit your beans, whether that’s a light, fruity roast or a dark, chocolatey blend.
At its heart is a 1.8L 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 pairs polished stainless steel with white side circle inserts, giving it a clean, classic look on any kitchen bench.
