Built for everyday use with reliable performance and easy operation.

The Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA Espresso Machine - Stainless Steel with Black Stripe modernizes one of Rocket’s most recognizable espresso machines while retaining its traditional E61 brewing experience. The TCA (Temperature Control Adjustment) system introduces four preset temperature levels, giving you greater flexibility when brewing different coffee origins and roast profiles.
Built around a heat exchanger system, the Appartamento TCA can brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously. Its 1.8 L copper boiler, custom 58 mm E61 group, powerful 1350 W heating system, and commercial steam wand make it well suited for preparing espresso, cappuccinos, lattes, and other milk-based drinks at home.
The updated design retains the Appartamento’s signature circular side-panel cutouts while adding streamlined stainless steel panels, a redesigned angular E61 group, larger steam and hot-water controls, and Rocket branding along the rear stripe. Its minimalist interface uses an LED indicator rather than a digital display to communicate temperature and operating modes.
