Warm wood meets the sleek Rocket body: the wood elements give the compact Appartamento TCA a calm, homey accent on the countertop, while the E61 group beneath performs its familiar service. Available in two combinations: Black/Wood and Chrome/Wood.
Coffee Coaching Club is a Rocket partner in Switzerland. When you purchase, our private barista course (German or English, in Bern or Zurich) is included, where we introduce you to extraction and the espresso ritual.
