Rocket TCA Portafilter Single Complete – Genuine Spare Part
The handle finds its position almost on its own, a brief resistance, then the solid click into the group head – and for the next few seconds everything revolves around this one shot. A complete replacement portafilter for the Rocket Appartamento TCA, including basket and spring, ready to use right away.
The mass in the portafilter itself plays a bigger role than you might first think: it stores heat and passes it on to the water during the shot – a second, equally seasoned portafilter means you never have to wait for a cold handle to warm up while the first one is in use. For anyone brewing as a pair or running two bean profiles in parallel, that's the difference between waiting and simply carrying on. Espresso is, for us, complex but not rocket science – a second portafilter isn't a necessity, just a little more calm in the workflow. Our opinion on this is one of many.

Who It's For
For anyone with a Rocket Appartamento TCA looking for a second portafilter for everyday use, or wanting to replace a worn handle. Just as much for anyone running two bean profiles in parallel – one portafilter stays set for light roast, the other for dark, without switching back and forth in between.
Goes Well With
A new portafilter is a good moment for a new tamper: our Tamper Collection ranges from the Normcore Spring-Loaded Tamper to the Weber Workshops Tamper – no budget is just a starting point, both tamp reliably. A puck screen from our Barista Tools goes well with it too, from the Normcore model to the Weber Workshops version, for a cleaner extraction pattern. More genuine spare parts for your Rocket can be found in the Rocket Spare Parts Collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the basket and spring included?
Yes, complete including basket and spring, ready to use right away.
Does the portafilter fit every Rocket Appartamento?
Made for the Appartamento TCA. If you have an older Appartamento without TCA, just write to us and we'll check compatibility with you.
What's the difference to the double-spout portafilter?
The single has one spout for a single shot, the double has two spouts for two cups at once – we carry both separately.
Can I see the portafilter in the showroom before buying?
Yes, in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can experience it live.
How fast do you deliver?
Within 2–4 business days, across Switzerland and to Liechtenstein.
Roastery Tip
From the roastery: most of us reach for Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight – dense, aromatic, a reliable everyday companion for the second portafilter just as much as for the first. Anyone who likes it especially full-bodied and with no acidity at all finds their way with Very Nutty. And for the curious moment in between: Wild Peach, fruity and lively. Our recommendation, one of many.
