Appartamento

Nope. For $900 on the grinder side, you’re well past the option O lagom casa ($600-700 with tariffs), which is objectively much better. You could probably get a specialita for a retro design and better performance for $300-700; for the obsolete form factor and design/perforamce, you can get a lelit

Rocket appartamento tca with the Eureka mignon silenzio. It’s my first machine and absolutely love it!

every time a LM shows up on this sub there are so many haters, but all our machines are overkill to a normal person who would be perfectly happy with a lavazza classy mini for $180. love my micra and philos, and op i am sure you’re gonna love yours too! hell, i loved my e61 rocket appartamento so mu

I had the exact same dilemma 3 months ago (single boiler or hx) and went for the heat exchanger (Rocket Appartamento in my case though) and couldn’t be more glad I did.

I’m looking at the Lelit Mara X in that price bracket. The Rocket Appartamento also looking good.

Sharing an observation as a long-time Rocket Appartamento owner who upgraded. First of all, I wouldn’t say that flow control is necessary (and the massive amount of people regarding the Linea Mini as end-game seem to agree). In fact, if one is only starting their journey into espresso I would say th

The Pro X is superior for making coffee. Dual boiler, PID and faster heat up (Appartamento needs more than 30 minutes 😬). TCA also has some sort of PID but a heat exchanger can not accurately set the brew temperature. But you say that the Appartamento appeals to you much more and that’s one of the m
