Rocket Espresso Appartamento Walnut Accents
Rocket Espresso Appartamento Overview
This wood accent 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, and this version includes custom walnut accents to accentuate the elegance of its design. 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 a copper or white 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.

Documentation is not great for backwash but I did manage it with the product cleaning instruction

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.

I’ve been dabbling in cheap espresso machines for a lot of years, and this is my first prosumer experience. It is a whole other universe away from the kitchenware brands. I never feel a need to go out for a decent coffee anymore. I get a consistent, reliably great cup. Plenty of crema, the ability to pull ristretto or lingo shots, fantastic milk fRead more about review stating Exceptional machinerothing. This upgrade was absolutely worth it.
