The Appartamento TCA is the evolution of our iconic Appartamento espresso machine with a modern aesthetic and features that take the Appartamento up a gear. The newly developed machine functions and improvements deliver an even better coffee experience in the home, raising the benchmark
for performance in this category of premium domestic espresso machines.

The Appartamento TCA was designed by Valerio Cometti, whose brief was to preserve the original Appartamento’s distinctive aesthetic, whilst also seeking to evolve the design for today’s barista.

A smoother contour and sensual feel has been brought to the almost “Bauhaus” architecture of the original machine which increases the desire to touch and interact with the “new” AppartamentoTCA.

Aesthetically the new Appartamento has been softened to enhance the relationship between
the machine and the barista, through the introduction of two new design elements.

The rounded sides on the machine back have given 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.
The distinctive circles on the machine sides have been accentuated with a debossing treatment, giving them a three-dimensional quality.

A new design for the “engine” of Appartamento: the brewing group. A dynamic, purposeful shape, with a distinctive look that sets it apart from imitators, allowing the Appartamento TCA to stand out in this category of premium domestic machines. The purposeful design of the new brewing group conveys strength, reliability and precision: these three features are the very essence of the Appartamento TCA model.

The classic Rocket taps have been refined and the sleeker shapes contrast the powerful steam and water dispensing performance of the new machine.
