Appartamento

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

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

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.

My ex bought a Rocket Appartamento when we were together and we stopped going to cafes (covid lockdown). While it was an expensive machine, it paid for itself in no time (extra large latte with oatmilk + flat white add up fast). I've had no machine since July but have had my eye on the Breville Bamb

I was in the same boat, but had some size constraints so I ended up going heat exchanger (Rocket Appartamento) instead. I had the same criteria as you though, and I was aiming for the Profitec Move @ $3K CAD. If your budget is $6K.. just go La Marzocco Micra. It's a BIFL machine for sure, and pretty

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.

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.
