Proudly introducing Rocket's new Appartmento TCA: The next generation with temperature control! This machine is the evolution of Rocket's iconic Appartamento espresso machine with a slash of modern aesthetic and features that take the Appartamento up a notch! The newly developed machine functionality and improvements deliver an even better coffee experience in the house, raising the bar for performance in this class of premium domestic espresso machines.
The Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA is a refined update to Rocket’s most popular home espresso machine, maintaining the beloved aesthetics while adding thoughtful improvements. Available in polished Chrome or sleek Nera (black powder-coated) finishes, the TCA offers a choice of copper, black, or white insert cutouts to complement your style. With its compact size and stunning design, it’s a centerpiece for any kitchen. Notable design updates include a sturdier integrated chassis, eliminating the risk of bent or broken drip trays during shipping. The soft-touch matte plastic handles and knobs also enhance usability and add a contemporary touch.
A key upgrade in the TCA is the addition of PID-controlled temperature adjustment, providing superior temperature stability for consistent espresso quality. While retaining a heat exchanger system, the insulated 1.8-liter boiler minimizes heat loss, ensuring optimal brewing and steaming performance. The PID enables users to choose from four temperature settings—low, medium, high, and very high—making it versatile for brewing espresso with light, medium, or dark roasts. An integrated eco mode further enhances energy efficiency by powering down the machine after 30 minutes of inactivity.
The TCA’s heat exchanger system allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming, ensuring quick and efficient drink preparation. The legendary E61 group head, exclusive to Rocket’s casting, adds extra thermal mass, further stabilizing temperature during extraction. This design ensures you’ll achieve balanced flavors and consistent espresso quality shot after shot. Whether you're crafting a cappuccino or pulling an espresso, the TCA excels in maintaining professional-grade performance.
Rocket has made several ergonomic updates to improve the user experience with the TCA. The redesigned portafilter offers a better grip and an updated aesthetic, while the machine’s controls remain simple and intuitive. With only a few knobs, a brew lever, and an on/off switch, the TCA avoids unnecessary clutter while delivering powerful functionality. The wider drip tray adds convenience, accommodating larger cups or mugs with ease.
The TCA boasts a 2.5-liter water reservoir with a tank sensor to alert you when refilling is needed. This ample capacity reduces interruptions during extended brewing sessions. Additional features like the boiler cover enhance energy efficiency, and the machine’s integrated design ensures durability over time. The TCA is built for home baristas seeking professional-level quality without sacrificing usability or style.
The TCA is ideal for those who love the simplicity of the original Appartamento but are ready to explore more advanced features. The PID-controlled temperature adjustments allow experimentation with various roasts, unlocking new flavors and brewing possibilities. While it lacks fine-tuned degree control, its straightforward programming mode is perfect for users looking to refine their espresso-making skills without overwhelming complexity.
