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.

How It Works

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.

The Engineering

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.

Is This the Right Machine

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.

Water Filtration Requirements
  • Protect your investment and guarantee the best taste with our recommended water filtration systems:
  • For Single Boiler Machines: BWT Single Cartridge Filter enhances flavor and prevents scale.
  • For Double Boiler Machines: Optipure Reverse Osmosis Water System offers maximum purity and protective benefits, perfect for any high-demand setting.
Power Requirements
  • Voltage: 120V
  • Wattage: 1350W
  • Electrical: Standard North American outlet (dedicated circuit recommended)

Summary: It can run on a standard 120V outlet, making it well suited for coffee carts, small cafés, offices, and home espresso bars. Because it draws 1350 watts, it’s best to plug it into a dedicated 15–20 amp circuit, especially if you’re running other equipment (grinder, fridge, hot water tower) nearby. This setup is ideal for mobile coffee carts, where higher-voltage (220V) power isn’t always available.
