“This really stands out on the counter of my apartment. Always get compliments from anyone who sees it.
I did a lot of research before buying this machine, and, for me, it became the dilemma of the Mozzafiatto Vs. The Appartamento. I am happy I bought the Appartamento, because I was able to put the difference of the money into all the accessories. The main buying point that I think separates them is insulation. Once you've made a few drinks with the Appartamento, the pressure gauge and PID control become more of a novelty. The insulation is nice for those that would want to keep their machine on for longer periods of time. Even then, the difference in savings on the power bill is not huge.
My opinion, if you don't have the money to move up to the Type R, stick with the Appartamento. It's a beautiful machine that makes a great drink. Use the difference of the money toward a better grinder, scale, etc.”
“We love our new Rocket Appartamento. It is an absolutely great machine. Everything on it is extremely well made and high quality. We are total coffee snobs, and the espresso is outstanding. I can't recommend it enough!”
“I was hesitant, but now that it's mine I realize how much time I wasted with my old machine. Super consistent shots and the best at home milk texture I've had. The machine can be a somewhat loud at start up for about 3 seconds, but it's quieter than the grinder.”
“This was my first purchase from Cliff & Pebble and I was delighted. The team were extremely professional, they were quick to respond to email queries before purchase and the product was delivered faster than I expected. The Rocket Appartamento purchased was extremely well packed to ensure it arrived safely. Based on my experience, I would have no hesitation is purchasing again and recommending to friends.”
