Rocket Espresso Appartamento TCA Black/Copper — Premium Home Espresso Machine

Featuring Temperature Control Adjustment (TCA), this model gives home baristas precision control over brewing temperature directly through the activation lever, combining the soul of a traditional Italian espresso machine with the dial-in accuracy demanded by modern coffee craft.

The Appartamento TCA in Black takes everything that made the original Appartamento a benchmark for home espresso and elevates it with a sleek, blackout aesthetic. Debossed circular side panels deliver a striking three-dimensional finish, while the softened rounded edges and vertical Rocket logo on the back panel give the machine an unmistakable presence. With energy-saving Eco mode, a redesigned brewing group for greater reliability, and a wider drip tray for everyday convenience, the TCA in Black is the perfect blend of performance, precision and bold Italian style.

Had my ECM Synchronika serviced by Espresso Works recently and figured the service was worth writing a review of my excellent experience. I bought my machine second hand and immediately encountered a leak from my flow control valve. Another 5-star rated company charged me an absolute fortune and didn't resolve the issue until the second visit. I had to show them how to fix the leak, and that it was two perished o-rings that caused it. The fix only requires 10 minutes of work and a few dollars in parts. They also returned my machine with a dent and several scratches. The reason I include this anecdote is because it doesn't seem uncommon for companies to offer servicing and repairs for premium machines and not actually know what they're doing or take any care in the quality of their work. Espresso Works is a welcome exception to this. Meaghan organised for Dom to both collect and return my machine; both times were prompt and on time. When it was returned, all surfaces had been wiped down and looked almost new again. All my valves, levers and taps are smoother and quieter than I'd have expected them to be on a several year old machine! They listened to what my concerns were about the machine before pickup and these were reflected in the service report on my invoice where each issue was looked into. In short, I highly recommend Espresso Works to anyone with a premium machine, especially those with ECM machines, as the work done on mine is fantastic and the experience interacting with their company was great.

Top quality customer service. Great product range for high-end home coffee machines. I had small issues with my Torre Peppina. They sent a technician straight away to get it fixed and followed up to ensure the machine was working perfectly. I recommend buying with a local like Espresso Works Perth WA for the extra assistance post-sale.
