Rocket Appartamento TCA
Heat Exchange Precision in a Machine That Belongs on Your Counter
The Appartamento TCA gives you Rocket's proven heat exchanger system with adjustable boiler pressure and an energy-saving standby mode — all inside a compact, copper-accented chassis built to disappear into your kitchen and dominate your morning routine.
Rocket's Temperature Control Adjustment (TCA) system lets you fine-tune boiler pressure in 0.1 bar increments between 0.9 and 1.2 bar. That means you can dial in your brew temperature to match the roast you're working with — lighter roasts run hotter, darker roasts pull back. The 1.8L copper boiler holds stable heat through back-to-back shots, and the vibration pump draws from a 1.9L removable water tank so you're never tied to a plumbing line. A built-in tank reserve sensor tells you when it's time to refill before you run dry mid-shot.
TCA System
Adjust boiler pressure from 0.9 to 1.2 bar in 0.1 increments. You decide the brew temperature — not the machine.
Heat Exchanger
A 1.8L copper boiler with energy-saving insulation holds rock-steady temperatures. Consistent extraction, shot after shot.
Standby Mode
Choose OFF or a 30-minute auto-standby to cut power draw when you walk away. Your electricity bill stays where it should.
Refined Taps
Upgraded steam and hot water taps give you smoother control over milk texturing and Americano prep. No more wrestling with stiff valves.
Compact Build
270mm wide, 448mm deep, 358mm tall — with debossed side panels and rounded edges. Fits your counter without crowding it.
Certifications
UL certified, model RE502B3C12. 1200W power draw, 22 kg build weight. 12-month warranty included.
Made For
Home baristas who want hands-on temperature control without plumbing. You pull a few shots each morning, you care about dialing in your roast, and you want a machine with real Italian engineering that looks sharp doing it.
Not For
High-volume households pulling 10+ drinks a day, or anyone who needs a dual boiler to brew and steam at the same time without pause. If you want full PID digital control, look at a dual-boiler setup instead.
