Rocket Appartamento TCA with Wood Elements – Dual-Circuit Espresso Machine
Warm wood meets the clean Rocket body: the wood elements give the compact Appartamento TCA a calm, homely accent on your countertop, while the E61 group underneath does its familiar work. Available in two combinations: black/wood and chrome/wood.
Coffee Coaching Club is a partner of Rocket in Switzerland. With every new coffee machine from CHF 1'500, a private barista introduction course of around 60 minutes is included – in Bern, Zurich or online, for up to two people from the same household or company attending together. The course must take place within one month of delivery; after that, the entitlement expires. Get in touch with us for the course and we'll find a date together.

Dual-circuit with E61 group
Heat exchanger system with the classic E61 brew group: brew and steam back to back without waiting, with mechanical pre-infusion.

TCA stands for Temperature Control Adjustment. Boiler pressure can be adjusted from 0.9 to 1.2 bar in 0.1 bar steps (standard 1 bar) – letting you indirectly fine-tune the brew temperature to your bean.
