Appartamento

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

HX machines have to manage a 50°F/30°C temperature drop from the steam boiler temperature to brew temperature. That's a tall order and none do it perfectly. Traditional HX machines such as the OG Rocket Appartamento (not the new TCA version) tend to overheat while idling, and need a cooling flush pr

I have a Rocket Appartamento TCA and it's great. We use filtered water from the fridge. Also using a Breville Smart Grinder Pro which we aim to upgrade eventually.

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 recently downgraded from an Appartamento to a Profitec Go. Even for 1-2 drinks a day, I feel the struggle and miss my Rocket. I couldn't imagine going from the Rocket to Bambino, to be honest. It would make me upgrade pretty quickly.

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

Id get a rocket appartamento or a lelit Bianca before a LM micra or mini, something with flow control and pressure control but is also significantly cheaper.

Not exactly true because the boiler size plays a role as well as the general construction of the machine. If there’s more mass to heat up, it will take longer. The Linea Micra needs like 5 minutes if I remember correctly and something like the Rocket Appartamento will be close to 30 minutes.

Micra owner here with Appartamento before. No. The Mini is significantly larger, and the Micra takes up almost exactly the same space as the Rocket.
