The Appartamento is Rocket's most compact home machine: a heat exchanger with the café E61 group, 58 mm, and a single boiler that makes steam and heats the brew water. The shot starts and stops with the group lever, with no programmed doses: whoever is using it decides the timing.
It has no PID: brew temperature depends on how long the machine has been idle, and as on any classic heat exchanger, a little water is run through the group before the coffee. The 2.5-litre tank cannot be plumbed in, but a sensor warns when water is running low and still lets the shot finish. The wands have been redesigned to clean more quickly, and the large drip tray works well with tall cups.
It is for someone who wants the classic espresso ritual in little space, and is willing to learn how to read the machine. Anyone who wants temperature under control should look at the Appartamento TCA. Like every E61 group, it needs switching on well before the first coffee.

Seven grams, twenty-five seconds, twenty-five millilitres: Italian espresso has a written specification, and this is it.
The same dose as an espresso, less water in the cup. No institutional source fixes its volume — so here you will only find what is documented.
25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk, in a 150–160 ml cup. The cappuccino has a specification too.
An espresso and a stain of milk. How much milk, exactly? No source declares it — and we do not invent it.
An espresso lengthened with hot water. The amount of water is set by no standard: it changes from country to country and from bar to bar.
Double espresso, sugar syrup and ice in a shaker. It has no specification: it has a house recipe.
