On the classic Appartamento, Rocket decides the temperature. On the TCA, you do. A light roast wants more heat, a dark Italian blend a bit less, and you taste the difference straight away. Same compact footprint, an insulated boiler that uses less energy, and softer curves drawn by V12 Design. If you drink specialty coffee, this is the Appartamento to get.

What makes the difference

TCA: temperature control at last

TCA stands for Temperature Control Adjustment: unlike the classic Appartamento, this version lets you adjust the brewing temperature. A light roast needs more heat, a dark Italian roast needs less. Here, you decide.

That level of control is rare on a heat exchanger machine this size. It's what makes the TCA the new generation of the Appartamento, not just a facelift.

Compact and efficient

27 cm wide, just 1200 W, and a 1.8-litre boiler wrapped in insulation that limits heat loss. The machine uses less energy and holds its temperature for longer.

The 1.9-litre tank has a reserve sensor: you can finish your extraction even when the water is low, without putting the vibration pump at risk.

Designed by Valerio Cometti + V12

Rounded sides give the TCA a softer silhouette than the original Appartamento, and the Rocket logo now runs vertically. Milan studio V12 Design has modernised the icon without betraying it.

Five colour combinations are available: stainless steel or matt black body, with white, black or copper circular inserts. Plenty of choice to find the one that suits your kitchen.

Who is the Appartamento TCA for?

For anyone who loves the size and character of the Appartamento but wants an extra level of control. Adjustable temperature opens the door to specialty coffees, which are more sensitive to brewing temperature.

The heat exchanger delivers steam continuously, so cappuccinos and flat whites follow one after another with no waiting. A compact espresso machine made in Milan, designed for everyday use.
