What makes the difference

Compact, but nothing like a small machine

At 27.4 cm wide, the Appartamento is Rocket's most compact espresso machine. It is designed for kitchens where every centimetre counts, without sacrificing what makes a real espresso: a professional-grade group and a 1.8-litre boiler.

Its round side inserts make it one of the most recognisable machines on the market. Small footprint, big character: it's your way into the world of Rocket Espresso.

How does a heat exchanger work?

A single 1.8-litre boiler does it all: the brewing water heats up as it passes through a heat exchanger immersed in the steam boiler. The result: you pull an espresso and move straight on to the milk, with no waiting in between.

Control is manual: you start and stop the flow yourself, just like at the bar. It's the ideal system for learning to feel your extraction rather than leaving it to electronics.

A much-improved latest version

Rocket has reworked its iconic machine without touching the design: a deeper drip tray for large cups and milk drinks, an RGB LED indicator for instant visual feedback, and redesigned steam and hot water wands.

The water reserve sensor is a real everyday bonus: it lets you finish your shot even when the tank is nearly empty. And the machine now comes in eight colours to match your kitchen.

Who is the Appartamento for?

It's the ideal manual espresso machine for getting started seriously: you move up from an automatic or entry-level machine to a real heat exchanger machine made in Milan, without blowing your budget or your counter space.

1350 W, 20 kg, a removable tank: it fits anywhere and is made for everyday use. Pair it with a good grinder and you have a complete espresso setup worthy of your neighbourhood café.
