Overview
Rocket Espresso's refreshing take on home espresso just got a new look with the Appartamento Nera! Their much-loved compact machine gets a cutting-edge black powder coat case while maintaining its adorably outsized controls and side panel cutouts in copper or white finishes. Inside, you still get the Appartamento's 1.8-liter copper heat-exchange boiler for brewing and steaming coupled to a heated E61 group for boiler-to-spout temperature consistency. The Nera also includes quality of life features like sprung valves, an electronic water sensor, and an insulated steam wand; making it one of the best compact home espresso machines on the market.
Features
- Black Powder Coat - The Nera's case is finished in resilient black powder coat.
- Heat Exchanger - The 1.8-liter HX boiler allows for simultaneous brewing and steaming.
- E61 Group - Boiler-heated and backflushable, E61 groups offer reliable operation and more consistent brew temperature.
- Compact Case - The Appartamento's compact 10"x17" footprint makes it one of the smallest prosumer machines on the market.
- Manual Control - Brew and steam controls are all analog for hands-on brewing.
- Three Year Warranty - We're proud to offer three years of parts and labor support for every Rocket machine purchase.
-
Pros
- Modern Look - The new black case design helps differentiate the Appartamento Nera from the other mostly chrome E61 boxes.
- Excellent Espresso - The Appartamento's prosumer design means that—once you get your technique down—shots will be consistently delicious.
- All Manual - The Nera's all manual control layout encourages you to perfect your barista technique.
-
Cons
- Minimal Updates - The only difference on the Nera is its powder coated case and metal cup rail—and its cost.
