NEW DESIGN
Rounded sides: The round contours give a whole new aesthetic to this perspective of the machine. The smooth curves draw the eye in, and a new vertical orientation for the Rocket logo
Focus on the holes: The distinctive circles on the machine sides have been accentuated with a debossing treatment, giving them a three- dimensional quality.
The brewing group: A dynamic, purposeful shape, with a distinctive look.
The purposeful design conveys strength, reliability and precision: these three features are the very essence of the Appartamento TCA model
A small “Easter egg” tucked away in the cup warmer area: we’ll be delighted to see who manages to find it!
NEW TECHNOLOGY
There’s much more to the new Appartamento TCA by Rocket than design, however. Developments in electronics have allowed us to introduce a new series of features and functions that guarantee an outstanding cup of coffee.
• Stand-by (energy saving) function
(OFF or after 30 minutes, default 30 minutes)
• Boiler pressure adjustment
(from 0.9 to 1.2 bar in 0.1 bar increments, default 1 bar)
Magnus (verified owner) –
As I was looking to upgrade from my Sage bean to cup machine, I spoke to Marc about alternatives (I buy all my beans from Marc). Marc was in the process of becoming an experience center (think that is the correct term?) for Rocket and had just received the Rocket Appartamento TCA. Marc took the time to show me the machine and also allowed me to try it out, The difference from my old machine was obvious, the quality and results both in regards to the espresso it produces and also the quality and power of the steam-wand was way superior to my previous setup. So I decided to take the plunge and upgrade. Marc took the delivery from Rocket and came out and delivered the machine personally, and also help me set the new machine up and dial it in. I must say, after 4 weeks of usage, it is an absolute fantastic coffee machine and grinder. The level of control of the grind quality is magnitudes better than my old grinder. The Rocket Appartamento TCA machine in itself is an absolute pleasure to work with! As you might have figured out, I’m a big fan! One aspect to think about, I wouldn’t recommend it as a starter machine, as everything is manual and requires adjustment, but as a more “professional” setup for your home it is a great buy!
