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. Your purchase includes our private barista course (in German or English, in Bern or Zürich), where we introduce you to extraction and the espresso ritual.
All features at a glance
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.
Wood accents
The wood elements set a warm, individual contrast against the matte black or chrome body – each piece with its own grain.
Adjustable boiler pressure (TCA)
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.
Configurable standby and larger tank
Standby off or after 30 minutes, as you prefer, water tank with 2.5 litres and reserve sensor, wider drip tray. Design by Valerio Cometti+V12 Design.
