Rocket TCA Portafilter 1-Outlet Complete – Genuine Spare Part
The handle finds its position almost by itself, a brief resistance, then the satisfying click into the brew group – 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 think at first: 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 already in use. For anyone brewing for two or running two bean profiles side by side, that's the difference between waiting and simply carrying on. Espresso is complex for us, but not rocket science – a second portafilter isn't a necessity, just a bit more calm in the process. Our opinion on this is one of many.

Who it's for
For anyone with a Rocket Appartamento TCA who wants a second portafilter for everyday use or needs 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 roast, with no swapping 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, from the Normcore model to the Weber-Workshops version, for a cleaner extraction. More genuine spare parts for your Rocket are available in the Rocket Spare Parts Collection.

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 the first. Anyone who likes it especially full-bodied and completely without acidity finds in Very Nutty their way. And for the curious moment in between: Wild Peach, fruity and lively. Our recommendation, one of many.
