More information

Rocket is one of the most highly regarded names in the premium espresso segment, and Appartamento clearly shows why. Here you get a compact professional espresso machine with Italian design flair, a low profile, and laser-cut side panels that give the model a distinctive look. The image shows the version that many people search for as rocket espresso apartamento, here with custom wooden details on the portafilter handle, knobs, brew lever, side panels, and cup rail. This is a machine we are happy to recommend to anyone who wants to get close to the experience of a professional café espresso machine, but in a format that actually works at home.

Features and performance

Appartamento uses a Heat exchanger, which means you can brew and steam at the same time. This makes a big difference when you often prepare cappuccinos, lattes, or several drinks in a row. The E61 group contributes to stable brewing temperature through continuous circulation, while Rocket's dual pre-infusion system helps saturate the puck evenly before full pressure is built up. The result is a gentler extraction and better conditions for full-bodied flavor and dense crema. The machine also has powerful steam pressure, a generous tank, and a built-in energy-saving mode that can be activated or deactivated using a button underneath the machine.

Reasons why you should buy an Appartamento

We like Appartamento because it provides much of the feel of a larger premium machine without dominating the countertop. You get manual control, strong build quality, and a design that stands the test of time. For many home baristas, this is exactly the right level: more engaging than an automatic machine, yet still convenient enough for daily use. However, if you want even more precise temperature control with PID, a higher model series may be a better choice.
