Why You Should Get It
If you're after a stylish espresso machine that produces barista-quality espresso and perfectly frothed milk, the Appartamento TCA is a fantastic option. It's ideal for coffee lovers who don't want to turn it into a full-time hobby, as it strikes a perfect balance—providing enough control for consistently great shots without losing the appeal of its design.
Signature Style: Rocket consistently excels in design. The Appartamento TCA prominently features their distinctive “R” and “Rocket” logos in multiple areas of the machine. Its redesigned casing and new portafilter are valuable enhancements to the overall aesthetic, further elevating its classic appearance.
Minimalist Interface: In line with Rocket's dedication to creating espresso machines free from over-the-top displays and digital interfaces, the Appartamento TCA employs an LED light to convey information to the barista through color, with each hue representing various operational modes like programming, brew temperature, and more.
Temperature Control Adjustment: The machine's namesake feature, the temperature control adjustment, incorporates a multi-setting pressurestat with four preset temperature options that can be chosen to match your espresso brewing and milk frothing preferences. An LED light displays the selected temperature during the programming process.
Heavy-Duty Boiler: The Appartamento features a 1.8-liter copper boiler with a 1200-watt heating element. Its steel construction offers enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring greater durability. Additionally, the boiler’s passive heat warms the removable cup warmer located on top of the machine.
Precision Brewing
The variable pressure feature allows you to choose between four preset temperature settings (Low, Medium, High, and Very High), which can affect both coffee extraction and milk steaming pressure (0.9 to 1.2 bar). To switch modes, lift the brew lever with the machine off, then flip the power switch. The LED flashes to show the temperature:
You can also enable eco mode for low-energy standby after 30 minutes.
The Appartamento TCA espresso machine brews and steams simultaneously and has a coated copper boiler for better durability. Rocket has updated its design with a curved back panel, larger knobs, a new portafilter, and a redesigned cup tray, while retaining its signature circular cutouts and adding a "Rocket" stripe on the back.

A worthy update to world classic espresso machine
This espresso machine is amazing. It is easy to use as far as real espresso machines go.
The first machine I received was faulty, this was a bit frustrating but Kitchen Arena was very fast to make it right and replaced my faulty machine. A truly excellent customer service experience!

Great prosumer espresso machine
Hits the sweetspot between features, quality and price.
You don't pay for fancy looking handcrafted wooden handles and stuff but you get a hefty beast of an espresso machine that works.
Its construction allows for decent maintenance and repairs without having to replace the whole thing.
Are there better machines out there? For sure but at this price point, it's going to be hard to beat this one.

Expensive Money Saver
Family of 5 making1-2 shots each daily. Pays for itself in a month or two. We’ve had it for approximately 4 months and I’m getting rich during the economic crisis. My latte has increased approximately 40% in cost over the last 2-3 years. We couldn’t afford for everyone to visit our local coffee shop 1-2x per day so we bought this basic machine. I can make a better drink with much more consistent flavor after purchasing this machine. You need to adjust the settings, otherwise you might be disappointed. It’s easy to adjust and requires a little knowledge and experimenting.
We've had this oven range for about a month, and I'm loving it! We replaced our basic range with this one, and now I feel like a professional. I'm so impressed with the quality of the gas cooktop – the turbo burner boils water so fast! The range looks sleek in our remodeled kitchen and friends have commented how nice our oven is. It matches our other stainless steel appliances, and is super easy to keep it clean. Highly recommend it!
I bought the all gas stove a few months ago and absolutely LOVE it! Especially the convection fan feature and the easy pull out racks. Everything about it is beautiful and matches all of my other Zline appliances and fixtures! You won’t regret going all out on these! My construction project isn’t finished or I’d post pictures!
We couldn't be happier with the performance of this stove. It's knobs and door are so professional in the look and feel. The burners are also powerful and can get things hot quickly if you're not careful about paying attention to the setting it's on, but I enjoy I can get precise cooking from the stovetop. Oven cooks great and evenly as well.
I love my cimbali machine. Easy to use, wonderful cup of espresso every time. It doesn’t take a lot of space up on my counter, and I like the froth that comes with it. Super easy to use.
This is a very solid purchase because it's incredibly easy to use. The compact size is fantastic for small kitchens. The sleek design makes it a handsome addition to any countertop. The quiet operation is a joy, especially in the early mornings. With its quick heat-up time, you will have your morning espresso shot before you know it. This is the small but mighty espresso machine you've been seeking.
I highly recommend this product for its ease of use, compact size, and sleek design. Its consistent espresso quality make coffee breaks exciting. A well-rounded package that fits perfectly on the countertop.
I am absolutely obsessed with my new espresso machine! It’s been worth every penny. The espresso it produces is rich, bold, and velvety-smooth - just like my favorite coffee shop. The machine itself is sleek and compact, perfect for my small kitchen counter. I love that it's easy to use and clean, even for a coffee novice like me. I've been experimenting with lattes and cappuccinos too. My mornings have never been better - this machine has taken my coffee game to the next level. Highly recommend!
I have been looking for espresso machines quite a bit. I would say this one is perfect for the beginner. It has sleek design and touch screen . You will get your espresso quick. Exceeded my expectation.
I used to use a regular brewing machine, but this espresso maker is a huge upgrade! There is a noticeable difference in flavor, and the milk frother is great for making lattes and cappuccinos. The functions in LED touchscreen is super easy to use, and the design is sleek and compact. It looks very modern and the built feels good and doesn’t occupy much space in the kitchen. For the price, it's an awesome value—way better than my old machine and definitely worth the money!
Bought this oven in January and I'm still just as excited about it as the day that it first arrived! It looks absolutely beautiful and has had zero malfunctions since we installed it. The price is great for something so high quality. Highly recommend!!
