Rocket Espresso Appartamento Espresso Machine Amethyst Panels
Rocket Espresso Appartamento Overview
This color variation of the Rocket Espresso Appartamento is an exclusive customization offered by Whole Latte Love.
Rocket is a stickler for detail and the Appartamento really highlights that fact. Its hyper stylized steam and hot water knobs feature an easy grip gear design and Rocket’s iconic “R”; the wide feet resemble espresso pucks, and the laser cut side panels reveal an amazonite underbelly, all of which is rounded out by a striking mirror finish. Like any Rocket fan, we’re in love with the aesthetics on this compact machine.
Features and Performance
As a heat exchanger, the Appartamento can brew and steam at the same time, so there isn’t any downtime between brewing and steaming or multiple milk-based drinks. An E61 group head keeps the brew water temperature stable, by syphoning water from the boiler, through the group, and back, to ensure a consistent temp throughout.
Rocket redesigned their E61 to incorporate a dual pre-infusion system, which consists of a static pre-infusion chamber and a mechanical element that has a progressively working piston, resulting in aromatic, crema-rich extractions. This machine is beauty and brains wrapped up into one.
Internally, the Appartamento employs a large 1.8 L copper boiler, which, in concert with a 1200 watt heating element, makes for impressive strength brew after brew. Integrated electronic sensors monitor the boiler and reservoir levels and alert you to low levels. If, for whatever reason, these warnings are ignored, the Appartamento shuts down to avoid a dry-boil. This keeps the machine functioning at its best for years.

Karlīna Lāne –
This espresso machine has been an excellent upgrade to the commercial Pavoni machine I have had for over a decade. I am super picky about my espresso given I have been an artisian chocolatier for years too.
I highly recommend this for anyone who prefers manual machines.
The only drawback is I have to open the back of the machinRead more about review stating This espresso machine has beene to check the water level at times. It does hold a fair amount of water which lasts me the day with my teas too or Oat Matcha Lattes, but I wish I could see an indicator from the outside.
The quality is superb I would buy it again!
The service from HarfanCoffee has been nothing but the best! Oddly my burr grinder broke soon after receiving the Appartamento and HarfanCoffee shipped one out quickly when I asked them too. They definitely took good care of me which in these times, is huge!
Thanks!!
Cheers,

A nice little but powerful pro-Sumer espresso machine. The styling is great an functionality is excellent. I purchased the Eureka Mingnon Silencio grinder to pair.
I did have to adjust the boiler pressure, but the customers service was really excellent snd helpful.
