Rocket Appartamento Black (Serie Nera) Copper

The Rocket Appartamento Black (Serie Nera) with Copper is a stunning and compact prosumer espresso machine designed for home enthusiasts. It's known for combining the high-quality performance of a Rocket machine with a stylish, space-saving design.

Here's a quick rundown of its key features:

1. Design & Aesthetics:

• Serie Nera Finish: The "Serie Nera" (Black Series) is a special edition of the Appartamento. It features a durable, matte black powder-coated body that gives it a sleek and modern look.
• Copper Side Panels: The machine is distinguished by its eye-catching circular cutouts on the side panels, which reveal a copper-colored background. This striking contrast is a signature design element of the Appartamento.
• Compact Size: True to its name ("Appartamento" means apartment in Italian), the machine is designed to be more compact than other prosumer models from Rocket, making it ideal for smaller kitchens.

• Heat Exchanger (HX) Boiler: The Appartamento uses a 1.8-liter copper heat exchanger boiler. This allows you to brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously, eliminating the wait time between tasks. The copper boiler provides excellent heat retention and temperature stability.
• E61 Group Head: It features the legendary E61 group head, a workhorse in the espresso world. The E61 group head is constantly heated by water from the boiler, ensuring a stable temperature for brewing.
• Vibration Pump: The machine is equipped with a vibration pump, a standard and reliable component for espresso machines at this level.
• No-Burn Steam and Hot Water Wands: Both the steam and hot water wands are "cool-touch," meaning they stay cool to the touch (except for the nozzle), which makes them safer to handle and easier to clean.
• Manual Control: The Appartamento is a manual machine with no PID controller or shot timer. This makes it a great choice for users who want to be hands-on with their brewing and learn to pull shots by feel and timing.

• High-Quality Tamper: Rocket is known for including a high-quality metal tamper with its machines, a notable upgrade from the flimsy plastic tampers often found with other brands.
• "Made in Italy" Quality: Like all Rocket machines, the Appartamento is designed and hand-built in Milan, Italy, a testament to its premium craftsmanship and durability.
