Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA – Italian-style espresso perfection
Discover the Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA, a modernised version of the legendary Appartamento, now equipped with the TCA (Temperature Control Adjustment) system. Fully redesigned, it features a mechanical PID with 4 temperature levels (low, medium, high, very high), delivering outstanding thermal stability and consistently precise extractions.
Compact (27 × 44.8 × 35.8 cm) and equipped with an insulated 1.8-litre copper heat-exchange boiler, it allows you to pull shots and steam milk simultaneously, without compromise or energy loss. A true Rocket signature: artisanal quality made in Milan on a one-piece stainless steel frame – no unpleasant surprises during transport!
Thermal control meets elegance
- The four temperature settings are selected via the group lever, with no extra screens or unnecessary buttons, while the RGB LED indicator clearly displays the active setting.
- The minimalist design retains the iconic round side panels, now with softened edges and new colour finishes: brushed steel or matte black body with side inserts available in copper, black or white – offered in multiple stylish combinations.
Ergonomics and ease of use
Rocket has redesigned the 58 mm portafilter for improved tamping comfort and added a wider magnetic drip tray that’s easy to remove and replace. The generous water tank (1.9 to 2.5 litres depending on the version) includes a low-level sensor to prevent unwelcome interruptions during your coffee sessions.
Better energy efficiency
Thanks to the boiler’s insulated lid and an automatic ECO mode (standby after 30 minutes of inactivity), the TCA reduces energy consumption while ensuring a quick heat-up for your morning coffee or evening espresso chats.
Availability and personalisation
The Appartamento TCA comes in various colour options to match any interior: polished stainless steel or matte black, with side inserts available in copper, black or white.
Whether you’re a ristretto lover, an aspiring barista seeking precision, or simply a fan of Rocket’s style, this machine combines Italian design, reliable thermal control, intuitive ergonomics, and uncompromising performance.
