Rocket Appartamento TCA
The Rocket Appartamento TCA is a heat exchanger espresso machine with an eye catching design and four temperature settings that can be toggled for optimal milk frothing and espresso brewing.
Temperature Control Adjustment
The namesake of the machine, the temperature control adjustment uses a PID controller and four preset temperatures that can be selected to best suit your preferences for espresso brewing and milk frothing. The LED light communicates the selected temperature when programming the machine.
Heavy-Duty Boiler
At the heart of the Appartamento is its new 1.8 liter stainless steel boiler, equipped with a 1200 watt heating element. The steel design shows improved resistance to corrosion for longer life. Passive heat from the boiler also heats the removable cup warmer on the top of the Appartamento.
Minimalist Interface
Keeping with Rocket’s commitment to producing espresso machines unmarred by excessive displays and digital interfaces, the Appartamento TCA uses the LED light to communicate with the barista via color with different colors indicating different operating modes such as programming, brew temperature, and more.
