The Rocket Appartamento is the newest model from Rocket Espresso Milano.
We’re massive fans of the Rocket kit so we’ve been itching to get our hands on the Appartamento since we heard rumours of it in late 2015.
Why we like it
It is the perfect entry level model to accompany the Evoluzione V2, R58 and R60V in the Rocket range. It has replaced the Cellini Classic and has nicer aesthetics at the sub £1000 price point. It’s a very compact unit so will lend itself to smaller kitchens (or apartments!)
Who’s it for?
The Appartamento is aimed at people who have limited space and a lower budget, but still want a beautiful, high performing espresso machine at home or for the office. This machine fits both those criteria. Ultimately, this machine performs as well as the Premium Plus or Evoluzione models. Same group head, boiler capacity, etc. – it has simply been redesigned and shrunk down to be more kitchen friendly.
