Blending elegant Italian design with professional-grade performance, Rocket remains a standout name in home espresso.

Under the hood, this compact espresso machine uses a vibratory pump with a 1.8-litre copper boiler and a heat-exchange system. For the home barista, this means excellent thermal stability and on-demand steaming, allowing you to pull well-extracted shots and texture milk simultaneously. Visually, the Appartamento’s striking side panels feature signature circular cutouts, adding a bold aesthetic flair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApart from its looks, the Appartamento has earned the trust of espresso lovers worldwide thanks to its proven E61-style group head and 2.5 L removable reservoir. The machine uses a 1200 W heating element. The lever-operated control allows you to manually start and stop the flow of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Rocket Appartamento 2.0\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Appartamento proved you didn't need a commercial setup to pull great espresso shots at home. The Appartamento 2.0 builds on that legacy, retaining the original’s core mechanical design, such as the dependable heat-exchange boiler and powerful steam wand, while introducing thoughtful updates for the home barista.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Appartamento 2.0 features an updated steam and hot water wand configuration for easier positioning, plus Rocket has dropped the height of the drip tray to accommodate larger \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/collections\/cups-mugs-glasses\" title=\"See our serve ware\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecups\u003c\/a\u003e. The original power switch light has been upgraded to a multi-colour LED, giving you visual feedback when the machine is warming up, ready to brew, or running low on water. Speaking of water, a new smart sensor lets you finish pulling your current shot before cutting off the pump. Rocket has also updated the internal frame with a corrosion-resistant galvanised coating for long-term durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded with Rocket Appartamento 2.0 Espresso Machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 58mm Rocket portafilters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle, double-shot \u0026amp; blind portafilter baskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty metal Rocket tamper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCleaning brush \u0026amp; microfibre cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB dongle with ‘digital welcome pack’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRocket Appartamento 2.0 Espresso Machine features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in chrome with copper, black or white inserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-colour LED status light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy-saving ECO mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-exchange boiler design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper boiler with brass end plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration pump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeated group head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal water reservoir\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmart low-water sensor prevents mid-shot interruptions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic cup frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-infusion system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoiler pressure gauge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool-touch wands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew steam \u0026amp; hot water wand configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRocket Appartamento 2.0 Espresso Machine specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBoiler capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReservoir capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1200 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVoltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220–240 V, 50\/60 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vibratory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W 274 × D 425 × H 360 mm (including cup frame)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Rocket","offers":[{"title":"Copper","offer_id":67641209487494,"sku":"ROC\/RE504A1C13","price":43125.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black","offer_id":67641209520262,"sku":"ROC\/RE504A1B13","price":43125.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":67641209553030,"sku":"ROC\/RE504A1W13","price":43125.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/5548\/files\/rocket_appartamento_2_chrcop_front.jpg?v=1791540205","url":"https:\/\/capecoffeebeans.co.za\/products\/rocket-appartamento-2-0-espresso-machine","provider":"Cape Coffee Beans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
