Rocket Espresso Appartamento Espresso Machine Black Panels
Rocket Espresso Appartamento Overview
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 a black 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.

Dušan Jaroš –
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 HARFAN COFFEE has been nothing but the best! Oddly my burr grinder broke soon after receiving the Appartamento and HARFAN COFFEE shipped one out quickly when I asked them too. They definitely took good care of me which in these times, is huge!
Thanks!!
Cheers,

I WAS SUPER EXCITED ABOUT RECEIVING MY NEW ESPRESSO MACHINE. RIGHT AWAY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL SOME AMAZING ESPRESSO SHOTS AND STEAM MILK IN SECONDS, A SIGNIFICANT UPGRADE FROM MY BREVILLE DEVICE. HOWEVER, AFTER 2 DAYS, THE PRESSURE GAUGE DEVELOPED CONDENSATION. I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD SHIP OUT A NEW PRESSURE GAUGE THE NREAD MORE ABOUT REVIEW STATING GREAT MACHINE, BUT….EXT DAY. IT STILL HASN’T ARRIVED, BUT I HOPE THIS RESOLVES THE ISSUE SOON. I WAS A LITTLE BUMMED THAT A BRAND NEW MACHINE WOULD ALREADY HAVE AN ISSUE. I HOPE TO HAVE IT BACK TO 100% SOON.
