More information
Rocket is one of the best espresso machine manufacturers that has understood the importance of both quality and Italian design, which is clearly demonstrated with Rocket's smallest and sleekest model Appartamento. The machine features two convenient knobs for hot water and the steam wand, with Rocket's iconic “R” logo on the left knob. The machine has a low-profile leg that resembles espresso pucks and features laser-cut side panels with a mirror-like finish on the remaining parts of the machine. We at Barista Espresso love the compact espresso machine from Rocket that has given a modern twist to a classic espresso machine, delivering commercial level espresso brewing and milk frothing.
Features and performance
Appartamento has a heat exchanger, which means you can brew and froth milk simultaneously, streamlining your brewing process and providing a significant advantage when making multiple coffee drinks. Rocket's E61 group provides a stable brewing temperature by continuously circulating brew water between the heating element and brew group, ensuring perfect temperature stability cup after cup.
Rocket has modernized and designed About the traditional E61 group with a dual pre-infusion system, which means it has a “Static” pre-infusion chamber that allows the coffee puck to bloom and saturate, along with a mechanical component that gradually releases pressure with the help of a pressure spring and piston to provide a gentle and stable brewing process that delivers rich aroma and thick crema to the espresso. Rocket Appartamento is a well-thought-out machine.
Internally, Appartamento has a 1.8-liter copper boiler, with a power of 1200 Watts for the element. The espresso machine has integrated sensors that continuously monitor the water level in the tank and in the heat exchanger and alerts you when the level is low. If About is not filled despite warnings, Appartamento has the function to turn itself off to protect the machine and avoid risking air entering 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 that can be turned off or on with a button located underneath the machine.
