Overview
Rocket's most compact machine brings their outstanding handcrafted quality to the urban dweller with the aptly named Appartamento Espresso Machine, available for a limited time at Open Box pricing. Featuring Rocket's tried-and-true heat exchange boiler and E61 group head pairing, you'll be pulling shots and pouring lattes with high-polished style. Classic features like mechanical pre-infusion, a heated group head, and articulated steam and hot water wands make this a true prosumer device, and coming straight to you with discounted Open Box pricing. Rocket's new pint-size compatriot adds a flash of bold design inspiration with circular side-panel inserts and engraved steam and hot water spouts.
- Rocket Design: With this showstopping design, the Open Box Appartamento will draw stares from everyone who enters your kitchen.
- Heat Exchange Boiler: A 1.8-liter heat exchange steam boiler allows you to brew espresso and froth milk at the same time.
- Heated Group Head: A small flow of water off the boiler keeps your machine's group head warm for more consistent shot temps.
- Small Footprint: The reduced dimensions of the Open Box Appartamento is well suited for small counters and space-restricted kitchens.
- Manual Control: Learn to brew all on your own with mechanical steam and brew controls.
- Open Box: This is an Open Box product.

Pros
- Quite a Looker: The combo of mirrored steel and side-panel cutouts give the Open Box Appartamento creates a distinctly vintage appearance (which we like a lot...)
- Heated Brew Head: Consistently hot shots in a machine this size? Yes please.
- So Simple: Topped off with the classic Rocket Espresso knobs, levers, and switches for ease of use and satisfyingly tactile.
- Portafilters: The Open Box Appartamento comes with spouted portafilters for both single and double shot use cases.
-
Cons
- Loud Pump: The vibratory pump is just as loud as on its larger brethren. We doubt apartment neighbors will appreciate the early morning wall shaking.
- Plastic Rack: We wish the cup warmer rack was steel instead of plastic.
