What comes with the Rocket Appartamento and Fausto grinder set?
The set includes the Rocket Appartamento espresso machine and Rocket Fausto coffee grinder, along with single and double portafilters, a tamper, a blind basket, and a detailed manual.
Can I brew espresso and steam milk at the same time?
Yes. The Appartamento's 1.8 L copper heat exchanger boiler allows you to brew espresso while steaming milk, without switching between separate heating modes. It has a 1200W heating element and a vibration pump for everyday espresso and milk drinks.
What type of brew group does the Appartamento have?
The machine uses an E61 brew group made of chrome-plated brass. Its substantial construction helps maintain a stable brewing temperature, while integrated pre-infusion wets the coffee before extraction.
How do I adjust the Fausto grinder, and what size are its burrs?
The Fausto has 65 mm flat burrs and stepless micrometric adjustment, so you can make small changes to the grind when dialing in espresso. Its touchscreen provides single and double dose selection, and the bean hopper holds approximately 500 g of coffee.
Does the Appartamento need a direct water connection?
No direct water connection is needed. The Appartamento draws water from a removable 2.5 L internal tank, which you refill as needed. This makes it straightforward to set up on a kitchen counter or home coffee station.
How much counter space does the Appartamento need?
The espresso machine measures 27.5 cm wide, 42.5 cm deep, and 41.5 cm high, and weighs 20 kg. These dimensions apply to the Appartamento only. Allow additional space beside it for the Fausto grinder, plus access for filling the water tank and using the steam wand.
Where is the set shipped from, and are there destination restrictions?
We ship the set from our warehouse in Italy, with dispatch in 2-3 business days. Rocket products cannot be shipped to Australia, New Zealand, or Switzerland.
