More information

Rocket is one of the best espresso machine manufacturers who has understood the importance of both quality and Italian design, which is clearly shown with Rocket's smallest and most attractive model Appartamento. The machine has two comfortable knobs for hot water and the steam stick with Rocket's iconic "R" mark on the left knob. The machine has a low-profile leg that resembles espresso pucks and has laser-cut side panels with mirror-polished finishes on the remaining parts of the machine. We at Barista and Espresso love the compact espresso machine by Rocket which has made a modern twist on a classic espresso machine that delivers commercial level of espresso brewing and milk frothing.

Features and performance

Appartamento has a heat exchanger, this means that you can brew and skim milk at the same time, which streamlines your brewing and also gives a great advantage when you have to make several coffee drinks. Rocket's E61 group provides a stable brewing temperature by constantly circulating the brewing water between the heat pump and the brewing group, thus providing perfect temperature stability cup after cup.

Rocket has modernized and redesigned the traditional E61 group with a double pre-infusion system, which means that it has a "Static" pre-infusion chamber that lets through and saturates the coffee puck and with a mechanical part that with the help of a compression spring and piston successively lets the pressure through to give a soft and stable brew to give the good aroma and the thick cream to the espresso. The Rocket Appartamento is a well thought out machine.

Internally, Appartamento has a 1.8 liter tank of copper, with a power of 1200 Watts for the element. The espresso machine has integrated sensors that constantly monitor the water level in the tank and in the heat exchanger and remind you at a low level. If it is not refilled despite the warnings, Appartamento has the function to switch off to protect the machine and not risk getting air into the system and burning internal components.

Rocket Appartamento has a 2.5 liter fresh water tank and also has a built-in energy saving mode which can be switched on or off with a button located below the machine.
