Rocket TCA 2-spout Portafilter Complete – Genuine Spare Part
Two cups, one shot, one shared moment – the 2-spout outlet splits the shot the instant both sides start flowing at once. This complete replacement portafilter for the Rocket Appartamento TCA comes with basket and spring included, ready for the next shared shot.
Guiding two outlets from one basket demands a little more care with grind size and distribution than a single shot – otherwise the water simply takes the easier path. That's exactly what makes the 2-spout portafilter a small training ground for distribution and WDT: whoever achieves an even extraction here has internalized the basics for every shot. No espresso law demands this – but anyone brewing for two or for guests noticeably gains time. Our opinion is just one among 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 1-spout one, when both outlet variants should be within reach.
Pairs Well With
For an 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 compacts reliably, whether Normcore or Weber Workshops. More genuine spare parts for your Rocket are in the Rocket Spare Parts Collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the basket and spring included?
Yes, complete with basket and spring included.
What's the difference to the 1-spout portafilter?
The 2-spout version has two outlets for two cups at once, the 1-spout version has one outlet for a single shot – we carry both separately.
Does the portafilter fit every Rocket Appartamento?
Made for the Appartamento TCA. If you have an older Appartamento without TCA, send us a quick message and we'll check compatibility with you.
Does the 2-spout shot need a different grind setting?
Usually a touch coarser than for the 1-spout version, so both outlets run evenly. A little fine-tuning at the start pays off.
Can I see the portafilter at the showroom before buying?
Yes, you can see it in person in Bern (Gerberngasse 44) and Zürich (Hagenholzstrasse 50b).
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 among many.
