Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA: stainless black with black inserts
An iconic espresso machine revisited
The Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA is the modernized version of the Appartamento, an espresso machine that has become iconic on the market.
The bodywork is in black stainless steel, with black inserts.
These distinctive circles on the sides of the machine have been accentuated by a recessed treatment, giving them a three-dimensional quality.
The Appartamento TCA’s rounded contours give the machine a whole new aesthetic, with a vertical orientation for the ROCKET logo at the rear.
The brew group is still the legendary E61 group, known for its stability and thermal insulation.
The shape of this group has been reworked, for greater precision and reliability.
The Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA is a high-end semi-professional espresso machine, made in Italy.
It must be paired with a suitable espresso grinder to achieve good in-cup results.
New features of the Rocket Appartamento TCA
The new features on this Appartamento TCA go beyond design.
Rocket Espresso has developed the electronic side of this machine to introduce new functions.
- The standby function (energy saving), which can be disabled or by default activates after 30 minutes of inactivity.
- Boiler pressure adjustment (low, medium, high, very high). This machine is equipped with a heat exchanger. The higher the pressure in the boiler, the higher the temperature. The brew water will therefore be hotter at high temperature, and the steam flow greater.
To understand how to adjust your espresso machine and/or grinder for the extraction that suits you, you can use our variables table.

Expert opinion
The Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA is a good evolution of the famous original model. However, I would have preferred a digital PID to make it a real step forward.
The temperature adjustment advertised in the name (TCA = Temperature Control Adjustment) is managed via changing the boiler pressure. So you need to be enough of a geek to understand the causes and effects on this kind of espresso machine.
I therefore recommend experimenting. The factory-set pressure is Medium.
The pressure is changed by manipulating the lever. Everything is well explained in the manual. And if the changes don’t suit you, you can always easily return to the factory settings.
The Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA is available in several colors. Its fairly compact size, beautiful design, and performance will delight home baristas!
