Rocket Espresso Appartamento Serie Nera Espresso Machine Sapphire
Rocket Espresso Appartamento Serie Nera Overview
This color variation of the Rocket Espresso Appartamento is an exclusive customization offered by Whole Latte Love.
Forever at the vanguard of style, the Appartamento Serie Nera sits squarely at the intersection between aesthetics and performance. 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. Now dressed in timeless matte black, the Serie Nera offers a new take on the Appartamento’s iconic polka dot design. We love the way this machine looks.
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.

The machine is beautiful and makes a perfect cup of espresso. Unfortunately, the machine was an anniversary gift and my niece discovered that the water reservoir tubing was not adequately connected thus leaking everywhere when first tried. She was able to open the said panel and see the disconnect quite easily to fix herself. A bit disappointed siRead more about review stating The machine is beautiful andnce you would expect quality control would catch these sorts of things before being shipped or manufactured in such a way that the tubing doesn’t disconnect during shipping. All in all an easy fix but annoying nonetheless. A less ambitious person would have not been able to make the fix themselves.

A beautiful looking machine but noticed that some of the parts seemed a little damaged with scratches. Did not get a reply back, but looks amazing regardless

Audrey James –
Very prettThe machine shipped via ground pretty quickly and was packaged really well. Works like a charm and is a great option for home. Smaller footprint than other prosumer machines but performs really well. No P.I.D needed to get your family/office great lattes.y!

Bought this machine because our rock solid Rancilio “Rocky” was moving to a second home and we wanted a heat exchanger machine. This machine is a big step up and the reliability of the pulls is much better – and the coffee is much better tasting. It’s great to be able to pull espresso and foam milk without the time delay of the single boiler machiRead more about review stating Great Machinene to blow off steam and reduce temperature.
