Rocket TCA Portafilter Double Complete – Original Spare Part
Two cups, one shot, one shared moment – the double spout splits the shot the instant both sides start flowing at once. This complete replacement portafilter for the Rocket Appartamento TCA comes including basket and spring, ready for your next shared brew.
Running two outlets from a single basket asks a little more care of grind size and distribution than a single shot – otherwise the water finds the easier path. That's exactly what makes the double portafilter a small training ground for distribution and WDT: anyone who reaches an even extraction here has internalized the fundamentals for every shot. No espresso law demands it – but anyone brewing for two or for guests gains noticeable time. Our opinion is one of many.

Who it's for
For anyone with a Rocket Appartamento TCA who brews for two or for guests and wants to pull two cups from one shot. Also handy as a second portafilter alongside a single, so both spout versions are within reach.
Pairs well with
For even distribution across both spouts, take a look at our barista tools – from the Normcore WDT Tool to the Weber Workshops Moonraker. After that, a tamper from our tamper collection compresses reliably, whether Normcore or Weber Workshops. More original 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.
What's the difference to the single portafilter?
The double has two spouts for two cups at once, the single has one spout for a single shot – we carry both separately.
Does the portafilter fit every Rocket Appartamento?
Made for the Appartamento TCA. For an older Appartamento without TCA, send us a quick message and we'll check compatibility with you.
Does the double shot need a different grind setting?
Usually slightly coarser than for the single, so both spouts flow evenly. A bit of fine-tuning at the start pays off.
Can I see the portafilter in the showroom before buying?
Yes, in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b) you can see it in person.
Roastery tip
From the roastery: for two cups from one shot we usually recommend Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight – both full-bodied enough to still taste dense even split across two spouts. With no acidity at all, but maximum body: Very Nutty. And as a discovery for curious days: Wild Peach, fruity and lively. Our recommendation – one of many.
