I love talking with you all! Make it a point to comment so we can all chat!
Welcome to the Rocket crew. Congrats on the purchase the black edition looks sensational and good work on the video production quality is top notch. To go with your new machine you now have a new Australian based fellow rocket fan running a mozzafiato. Cheers for the work and enjoy.
Awesome!!! Thank you so much! Always stoked to have new followers on the channel!!
This review was soooo welcome.. Not sure why all other reviews was not pleasent to look at. You reallt showed everything in a great way and made me also learn some good tips and tricks. Thanks!
Thanks so much! That really means more than you know!
One of the best reviews that I have seen so far ! Kudos !!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m getting mine today!!!!! Thank you for the video and affirmation! I cant wait and will let you how it goes!
Congratulations!! You’re going to love it!
I’ve a Niche arriving tomorrow and a Rocket Appartamento on my shopping list for the next month or so. Looking forward to getting them set up together.
YESS!!!! You’re going to be S U P E R happy with those! Love my Niche and my Appartamento!
Great video dude, I learned a lot. Great music and vibe. Almost clicking buy on one now. 😬
Do it!! It’s the best purchase I’ve made in a while!!
Great video! A quick question that hope you can help: does your steam arm feel totally cool after couple shots; or it is still kind of warm-hot but not super hot that could burn?
Warm-hot but not super hot😎
Was debating this or the sage dual boiler, the sage has so many more features but my niche grinder helped me decide.
The niche made me smile every time I used it.. so tactile, immersive.
I opted for a coffee machine that had that same user experience. This does not disappoint.
Great call! Sage is definitely a respectable company that makes great products - but Rocket stole my heart with the Appartamento!❤️
Thank you. You’ve just convinced me to buy this model 😀
Haha!! Glad to help!😎 you’ll live it!
Thanks for the video. You’ve just solidified my decision to purchase this as my first espresso machine. 😎👊
WOAH!! Congrats! I’m so glad hearing this! This review is almost 3 years old but I’m still using this machine DAILY and I have no complaints of it! Still a great choice✨
I did enjoy this bro, so many times I watch videos and turn off half way through as they can’t seem to get to any point. Whereas this was easy watching, your camera presence and personality really shine through. Keep up the good work bro. Came to find your video as I have ordered mine yesterday and in the excitement off now waiting on delivery I’m watching out her people with there’s 😂
Thank you so much!! Haha!
You can actually use the pump for preinfusion. After starting the pump for a few seconds, move the lever back to the middle position, so that the pressure is being hold. Then re-enable the pump to pull your shot.
Great video! I’ve made up my mind to get this machine 🤩
Congrats!!! You’ll really enjoy it!!
Awesome vid! More coffee!! And workflow
Consider it done😎🔥
i heard all new appartmaneto comes with bottomless portafilter instead of single , did you buy urs or it was included in the box ?
thanks alot and congratz
Hi! So all Appartamentos come with a spouted portafilter. I ordered my machine through Seattle Coffee Gear and received a “free pro upgrade kit” which included the bottomless portafilter🔥
My man what a great video! I've had a lever espresso machine for about a year and half and dont get me wrong I love it to death. But, been having an itch to get an espresso machine that is all in one, grouphead - steam wand - hot water. And I did research as well and came across the rocket espresso machine and man I watched your entire video. Great stuff my man keep it up, I definitely subbed to the channel
Dude wow!!! Im super flattered! You’ll have to let me know if you get your hands on one! Best coffee investment I’ve ever made, by a long stretch
I have had my eye on this Machine for quite some time now. Currently own a Illy X7.1 with capsules..not a pro type machine but has done well for me for several years. Does Apartmento comes ready to use, no adjustments to be made?
Ready to roll! Fill it with water & go. Can’t stress enough how nice it is⚡️
New Subscriber here👋🏼😊I like the way you explained because honestly I stumbled your video coz I was looking for some informative video about espresso machine because I am debating myself to step up a new espresso machine between Breville Barista Touch or this Rocket Aparttamento.Thank you for sharing this video. 🙌🏼 Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁✨
Welcome to the channel!
Great video, I have been going back and forth. Finally made the purchase.
Congrats!!! It’s a great choice! I just made a cappuccino on mine maybe 30min ago. Still rockin’ & rollin’!
Awesome
Congrats!! I’m doin my best to get one also!👊😎
Have you been using any lighter roast / single origin beans? If yes, do you miss not having pressure profiling? I ask because I’m thinking of purchasing a machine soon. I’d like to stay in the HX price range (preferably with PID). But I’m thinking I might just bite the bullet and go for a machine with dual boilers and pressure profiling.
Yes, I am using a lighter roast right now (“Monarch” by Onyx Coffee Labs)! Really really good! TBH, I don’t really miss pressure profiling enough to spend the extra dough on it. But if I was to move that direction, I’d likely go with the Lelit Bianca! I’ve heard really really great reviews on this machine🔥
I have my eye on the ECM Synchronica. But adding pressure profiling adds one more variable to worry about. So I’m also considering the ECM Technika V Profi PID.
Hey! We just recently got this machine at my work and have been pulling 20 sec shots with 18 grams and around 40 output, I think it could use some adjusting, just wondering if u have found a time with this machine that u like best?
Hey hey! Yes, so I’m doing 18g in with 36g out - around 32 seconds. This ratio and timing seems to work really well for me!
@@thejarrodwink thank you so much!
Any time!!🤗
Very informative video, Thank you
Glad it helped!!
Im between the appartamento and the Profitec 400. Do you have any thoughts? Congrats on the purchase
I have no experience it’s the Profitec so I can’t really say.. Bur the Appartamento has given me no reason to replace it. Still a really really solid machine✨
Great choice! Was also my first machine a few years ago.
That’s dope! What do you have now??
@@thejarrodwink I’m using the Decent De1xl at the moment. Still have the rocket tho!
Nice!! I’ve heard a load of great things about Decent!
Great video. Very informative. I’m currently debating getting an open box Nero or a Bezzera unicameral with flow control.
Thank you!! Be sure to let me know!!
I’m so proud of you. I know how much this machine means to you to further your career and coffee expertise. I love our little nightly routine. You make the best lattes and give the best dishwashing hugs. You’re going to go far kid 😉
Thank you baby! This is by far my favorite comment EVER🥰🥰🥰
Thanks Jarrod. Just bought one. Great video.
Congrats!! Be sure to let me know you like it! I’m still loving mine⚡️
Machine is on the counter and pulling some good shots. You video made it all happen. Keep them coming as I have subscribed.
Great machine !
May I know ur background music name ?
You are a good TH-camr
My biggest issue is that when the water runs out mid shot that's your morning ruined. I wish there was a better way to check the water level or at least let you finish the shot.
I just replaced the steam valve on mine (3.5 years) - I had hot water shooting out the tap when it was in the open position.
Totally agree about the reservoir! Really wish there was some sort of indicator..
That’s good to know about the steam wand! I’ll watch out for this😎
Had my appartmento for just on two years . Glad I bought it . I’m also from Australia
Can you descale the boiler yourself without the need to send it to an authorised dealer?
@@Elfin4 this is a discussion I will have with my service provider and people who I bought my machine with . I use filtered water in my machine and I back flush once a month and I’ve had no problems. I am taking my machine in for service at the end of the year .
@@woosha10 Yeah I'm just hacked off that I now have a Breville Dual Boiler that's just an ornament waiting to be dumped as I can't get any dealer now in the UK to repair it. Apparently Sage has instructed their dealers not to service it in the UK as it's an Australian model.
Well, its a great machine! But the no-burn steam wand actually has Teflon tubing inside it through which water or steam comes out. So technically not "plastic-free" since there is plastic and in an important path.
do anyone know if a 58.5mm tamper will fit in rocket basket? please let me know, I cant find an answer anywhere
Hey there! It will! Hope this helps
I loved this video! Thanks for the great info and congrats on your big purchase! I am getting ready to take the plunge and buy my first machine… ☕️😍☕️ I’ve heard great things about the Rocket brand… But I also looove the aesthetic of the white Ascaso machines…. Decisions, decisions!
Anyone try Ascaso before? Cheers!
That’s awesome!! Congrats on the Ascaso! I’ve never had my hands on one before, although I heavily considered them along with my rocket when making my decision! Let me know what you think when you get it!
Am I the only one that thought he said “ milf “ at 6:43 instead of milk? My minds playing with me
What bottomless filter is that and where did you buy it. I’m going to get a rocket and want to get a bottomless but the rocket branded one is always sold out and other aftermarket ones are more expensive
Dude GREAT question!! So when I ordered my Appartamento, I received the “free pro upgrade kit”! I bought mine through Seattle Coffee Gear, and the bottomless portafilter came with that kit. It actually came with a 21g basket, and I exchanged the 18g basket from the spouted portafilter🔥
@@thejarrodwink is it rocket branded or Seattle coffee gear branded?
@@adamhartman4312 I believe it is the Seattle coffee gear bottomless portafilter
@@thejarrodwink okie dokie. Thank you! I’m gonna get mine from whole latte love so I was wondering if that one could be found there because with all rocket machines rn you get a 260 dollar reward bonus so it makes more sense to do that than get a pro upgrade kit
@@adamhartman4312 for sure dude!! Hope you enjoy the new machine!!
So james hoffman said he would pick the profitec pro 500 or the beeville dual boiler over this machine. But i notice every other youtuber has an apartamento. What do u think. Is profitec 500 and breville better than the apartamento?
Honestly - I would have to get my hands on a profitec 500 to give an educated opinion. I can however speak to the Breville - and yes, it’s significantly better than the Breville. The build quality, noise level, all-around user experience.. It’s all better. I’m still using the Appartamento daily, and I’m still impressed by it - even after a year of owning it now💪🏻
@@thejarrodwink yeah, i never was really a fan of the breville. It seems more like an appliance. Thanks for the vid!
I have owned the Profitec 500 for about seven years. Used it heavily. It just went bad on me . I think the heating element finally went out but what's nice is parts are available to fix the pump or anything else that might go wrong with it. It's not a throw away machine. It is built well and is heavy and makes great coffee. I have seen the Rocket and from the outside my Profitec seems more substantial. The insides might be very similar. The Apartmento is a tad smaller and mean't to fit easily in your kitchen . I don't think you can go wrong either way. I just hope they are still made in Italy and Germany and not now in China like everything else is. Mine was engineered in Germany and assembled in Italy. Maybe it won't matter but China tends to cheapen things down.
so you saying 42 seconds is okay? I am asking, I thought 30 seconds are sort of goal... so I was tweacking other settings, like less pressure temping or, make a bean size bigger..... if 42s is okay deal, I mean, I am with you but just wanna know what you know about extracting time.
No, mine definitely came over on time - should be closer to 25-32 seconds on the draw. I had to adjust my settings after this video to get a little closer😎
Excellent video. I'm fairly certain this will be my next purchase for home espresso. However, as someone who drinks a lot of Americanos, I would love to see someone demo the hot water wand on this machine. I probably drink 5 Americanos to every 1 latte, cappuccino, or macchiato I make. Great stuff tho.
So sorry I didn’t include that. But the hot water wand works great - my wife use it for cups of tea almost every night. Hope that helps
Would you recommend this for a small cafe?
Really depends on how small. The water tank isn’t huge (probably 6-10 12oz. lattes before refill) and I don’t believe you can plumb a water line to it. That would be my biggest concern. Apart from that, I think it would do fine!
@@thejarrodwink thanks for the reply man! I might give it a shot!!
Did you connect it to a water line? I hate having to refill the tank
I did not - still using the reservoir. I’m actually not sure how difficult it would be to modify this to have the plumbing feature..🤔
@@thejarrodwink I thought it was an option on that model?
It not😔👎🏻
you are a great presenter. Just wanted to let you know. Please keep making content
PS I know i am two years late....
Thank you dude. I was actually using the machine this morning & thinking I need to make an update video. Maybe I will now😎
I have just bought a sage barista touch and just read a tons of negative comment about temp. problem, l seriously think to give it back and buy a rocket appartamento. Is there any one to help in choosing one? Such a complicated issue:/
Help in choosing a machine? Or an appartamento? I would definitely recommend the appartamento!
Jarrod Winkler l was confused btw barista touch and appartamento but l think l am gonna buy an appartamento despite that it looks a bit hard to use compared to barista touch😓 thank you for advise, great review by the way!
After almost2 years.. hows the machine so far? You still using it? Can you recommend it?
Can’t recommend it enough!! It’s still my daily driver - I use it 2-5 times a day, making drinks for myself & friends. Love this machine - & if it ever dies, I’ll buy another one just like it⚡️
Hello. Great video. Quick question. Did you specifically order your Machine with the black circles. Because most of the Nero editions I have seen or only white or bronze. Your black looks fantastic
Thank you so much!! So my machine is in the “Nera Series”. This means the whole side panel is power coated black and then you can pick the colors of the circles - I chose black on those as well😎🖤
@@thejarrodwink thanks matey. All the best from Australia
update on how it is now you've had it for a while?
Jarrod....I've been trawling the internet for reviews of all kinds of espresso machines and came across this video. I think, this is the machine for me. A great review. Cheers. Now to have a chat with MY wife!!!!
Do it!!! Best of luck with the conversation with your wife! Mine was sort of an easy sell, when she saw the machine and found out she could use it too😂 You’ll love the Appartamento - no doubt!

@@thejarrodwink My only wonderings about this and all like machines is the pressure...9 Bar seems to be the accepted pressure but so many machines hit 15 Bar. Am I looking to deeply into it? Will I taste the difference? Will the puck channel because there's too much pressure? Your thoughts?
is this ok for small coffee shop?
Hey there! Personally - I wouldn’t recommend it. Mostly because this machine does not have a plumb-in water line. If you use it, you’re only option is the tank. Also - I’m not sure that the boiler could keep up with making consecutive drinks like that. I would look into something from LaMarzocco or Luca - something with a water line option!👍🏻
It took me till 10:38 to notice the kitty cat in the background 😊
Haha!! That’s my girl!
Dude your content is grossly underated! Your personal, have great camera presence and dope editing. What are you up to these days? You haven't posted in almost a year!
Thank you so much! Honestly - navigating a ton of family&career changes for the last year. I’ll be back, hopefully sooner-than-later.. Just gotta handle some personal stuff first. But seriously - thank you for the kind words!!
@@thejarrodwink Glad to hear! I got two young girls and they definitely become priority. Goodluck with your career and life changes! From one Rocket owner to another!
Thank you bro!! Welcome to the channel! Really hope you stick around and watch some videos!
Congrats! 🥳
Thank you dude!!! Super stoked to be in the Rocket club😂🚀
Where did you buy your machine in Australia they want $3000 I’m getting one ASAP
I ordered mine from SeattleCoffeeGear.com
Yo, when you gonna post again a amazing new video of your machine ???
Take care !
Loved the video, hit subscribe! Hopefully you post more content in the future! :)
Thank you so much! Yes, more content coming soon! Taking a small hiatus, but I’m coming back😎
@@thejarrodwink I can respect that!!
Yo bro whatsupp
I love the way you telling how stuffs works and found out and promoting this nice machine
, hope you fine & healty , cuz you did not upload any video after one year.
Peace!
im glad you back ^^
Супер
Спасибо!
Wish you could’ve showed the machine more
What a Vogel! :)
Is that an actual cat bed or did your cat just decided it was comfy?
It’s actually just a cart that we purchased from IKEA, but our cats took it over, so we just put a cat bed in the top of it! Lol
What made you choose the rocket appartemento as your first espresso machine?
I was looking for a prosumer machine that had the look&feel of a commercial machine. Also - price. I definitely cover more details in the video, though😎
"Blew it out of their hand?" They was steaming soy milk wasn't they?
😂😂😂
Nice vid. Been researching for some month also but I keep coming back to the Appartamento Serie Nera. Just need to pull the trigger! Btw adding some hot water in your Espresso is called an Americano :)
Definitely pull the trigger! It’s an A W E S O M E piece!
Just a hype.
No pid.
So a kind of temperature surfing is needed.
The vibration pump is very noisy.
Long starting up times.
No insulated boiler so it's getting extremely hot on the outside.
Laughable plastic railing on top of the machine.
Changing the brew pressure is very laborous
Ultra industrial looks
*hype
