E61 Brew Group
The Appartamento ha a traditional E61 brew group with a pre-infusion chamber and mechanical piston. To reduce scale buildup, Rocket uses a unique ceramic internal mushroom.
Rocket Espresso's Appartamento is an iconic espresso machine with its signature circular cut-out panels. The new 2.0 version delivers that same stylish and compact exterior with a handful of quality of life updates like a larger drip tray and a new multicolor LED indicator. The Appartamento is equipped with a sizeable 1.8L copper heat exchanger boiler so it can brew espresso and steam milk at the same time.
If you love milk drinks and classic Milano design, the Rocket Appartamento is an ideal choice, and comes in a wide variety of colors and wood variants to suit your style.
Over the last decade, few espresso machines have left their mark on home baristas quite the like the Appartamento. The simple yet revolutionary circular cut-out panels give the machine its unmistakable appearance. To complement the Appartamento, Rocket produces several grinders with matching panels.
For purists the Appartamento also retains the original E61 group head instead of the more modernized version found on other Rocket Espresso machines.
At the heart of the Appartamento, a 1.8L horizontal copper heat exchanger boiler provides brew water and steam simultaneously. You can pull shots and steam milk at the same time time, and can also dispense hot water from the boiler for Americanos and tea. The copper construction and horizontal orientation deliver powerful steam pressure to froth quickly and help with larger volumes or back-to-back drinks.
The Appartamento has no programming menus or displays. Once heated, it can brew espresso and steam milk. When you do need to be alerted, the new multicolor LED flashes to indicate the particular issue. The steam and hot water wands have been updated for easier positioning and the drip tray has been extended to fit larger cups and hold more water.
