More information

Rocket is one of the most appreciated names in the premium segment for espresso, and Appartamento clearly shows why. Here you get a small professional espresso machine with Italian design sense, low profile, and laser-cut side panels that give the model its own character. The picture shows the variant many seek as rocket espresso apartamento, here with custom wood details on the portafilter handle, knobs, brew handle, side panels, and copper rail. It is a machine we gladly recommend to those who want to get close to the feel of a professional espresso machine for cafes, but in a format that actually works at home.

Features and performance

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

Reasons why you should buy an Appartamento

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