Description
Power, beauty, and distinction—the Appartamento has it all.
The semiautomatic Rocket Appartamento is for the prosumer who wants the whole package. Stylish, professional, and compact, it’s built to deliver authentic cafe quality with a small countertop footprint.
Featuring a copper heat exchange boiler and a commercial E-61 group with automatic pre-infusion for luscious espresso shots, the Appartamento makes it easy to craft lattes and Americanos like a certified expert barista.
The Appartamento is quality inside and out.
Every detail of this space-saving but highly capable espresso machine contributes to its remarkable design.
Built with commercial espresso coffee machine parts, a fine 304 stainless steel housing, and snazzy cutout side panels, the Appartamento pays homage to espresso as an art and a science.
You can proudly display this machine in your kitchen, office, or business for all to appreciate.
Rocket espresso machine engineers are meticulously detail-oriented.

Every Rocket Appartamento is built with the same painstaking attention to functionality and style that the company is famous for.
Key Features and What They Mean
1.8 Liter Copper Heat Exchange Boiler
The efficient heat exchange boiler system allows users to pull an espresso shot and steam milk at the same time. Made of copper, the boiler is naturally antimicrobial, improving sanitation.
304 Stainless Steel Case with Circular Side Panel Inserts
The high-grade stainless steel housing makes the Appartamento exceptionally durable and easy to polish to a mirror shine. The side panel inserts in Copper or White add a unique aesthetic element that gives the machine an original style.
E-61 Commercial Group
Incorporating brew temperature stability and automated pre-infusion, this commercial-grade group ensures optimal flavor in every espresso.
Black Boiler Pressure Gauge
Displaying the pressure in the boiler, this gauge shows you when the machine is ready for brewing and steaming so you don’t have to guess after turning it on in the morning.
Non-Compression Hot Water and Steam Valves
Providing smooth and seamless steaming, the non-compression valves up the user-friendliness of the Appartamento and are less costly to replace if ever necessary.
No-Burn Hot Water and Steam Wands
These wands stay cool to the touch to reduce the risk of accidental hand and arm burns. Safer to use, the steam wand is also easier to clean as milk won’t cake onto it.
2 Hole Steam Tip
The steam tip on the Appartamento steam wand distributes heat evenly and circulates the milk while you’re texting for gorgeous microfoam.
2.25 Liter Water Tank
A large water tank is easily accessed for quick refilling and cuts down on time spent replenishing the reservoir. As a pour-over model, the Appartamento is usable in any location, indoors or outdoors.
Resettable High Limit
You can easily reset the high limit for the boiler in the event that the power is cut off.
Pressurestat
The pressurestat controls the boiler pressure inside the machine to keep operation safe at all times.
Cup Warmer with Removable Plastic Cup Guard
Keeping coffee cups oh-so-toasty, the cup warmer is both a convenient cup storage spot and a preheating device so that your hot drinks stay hot longer. Cups are kept from sliding off by a removable cup guard that can be taken out for cleaning or to create more room overhead.
Vibratory Pump
The vibratory pump creates steady pressure for extraction and great quality coffee. This pump is affordable and painless to replace in case it ever fizzles out.
Low Water Sensor
When the water level starts to drop, the machine alerts you with a flashing light so that you know to refill it without even having to check the reservoir.
Standard Accessories Included
The Rocket Appartamento comes out of the box standard with…
Rocket Metal Tamper
The slick metal tamper that comes with the Appartamento will have you tamping like a barista champion in no time.
It helps to create the right amount of pressure for a proper extraction process and looks great as an accompaniment to the beautiful Appartamento itself.
Two 58mm Commercial Portafilters
Delivered with this machine are one single and one double commercial-grade portafilter just like the pros use.
Switch between single and double shot portafilters for different drink sizes and beverage preferences.
Stainless Steel Backflush Disk
The blind portafilter basket is integral for cleaning the machine. Just pop it into a portafilter with a little machine cleaner and then into the group to start backflushing.
Cleaning Brush
Coffee residues often hide in hard-to-reach places in the group head. Using the cleaning brush to get them out makes it easier to keep the Appartamento in like-new condition.
Plastic Coffee Scoop
It’s the small things like coffee scoops that are often forgotten about when purchasing coffee equipment. Fortunately, Rocket doesn’t miss a beat.
User Manual
The full-color user manual walks you through everything you need to know to use and care for your espresso machine.
3 (Three) Year Warranty
We're proud to offer three years of parts and labor support for every Rocket machine purchase.

Common Questions and Answers
Q: What is the difference between a semiautomatic espresso machine like the Appartamento and an automatic espresso machine?
A: Being a semiautomatic machine, the Rocket Appartamento offers the user more manual control of extraction than an automatic model.
To make a shot of espresso on the Appartamento, you would place the portafilter in the group head (filled with tamped coffee) and pull the lever to begin brewing. When you feel that the espresso is finished brewing, you push the lever back into the original “off” position.
With an automatic machine, you would place the portafilter in the group head and push a dosing button once. This prompts the machine to dispense the correct volume on its own.
Many prosumers enjoy the feel of an automatic espresso machine and working with the extraction process on a more intuitive level. Especially with the lever operation, the Appartamento gives you a more old-world type of experience that many coffee lovers romanticize.
You also have the ability to decide exactly how long you want the extraction process to last for each and every espresso. It’s a great way of putting your personal spin on the results, and you’ll feel like a pro.
Q: How does the E-61 commercial group in the Appartamento work?
A: The E-61 group is engineered to circulate water continuously from the boiler to the group head. This way, the group head stays nice and hot and better controls the brew temperature, which effectively helps you brew espresso properly for the best flavor.
The pre-infusion function of the E-61 group is automatic, meaning that you don’t have to engage it when you pull an espresso shot. When you pull the lever to begin brewing, the coffee bed is fully saturated before the pump builds full pressure.
This reduces the risk of channeling and ensures that more flavor is drawn evenly out of every coffee particle, all without you having to take any extra steps.
Q: How is a pour-over machine like the Appartamento different from a direct-connect machine?
A: When you see an espresso machine with a water tank, also called a pour-over machine, you know one thing for sure: that you can take it anywhere.
A pour-over espresso machine is usable in any location as long as you have a water supply to replenish the reservoir. This is sometimes necessary for caterers, mobile food and coffee trucks, and outdoor events. Otherwise, if you don’t have access to a water line, the Appartamento will still make your morning latte.
A direct-connect machine plumbs into a water supply. Because it offers a continuous water feed, it cuts out the tank refilling. As you might imagine, this can be particularly beneficial in a fast-paced business where employees can’t be slowed down by constant machine upkeep.
Which machine type is better for you involves a number of decision-making factors. If you decide that the pour-over type is best, the Appartamento has a large enough reservoir that you won’t need to refill too often and wear yourself (or your staff) out.
Payment & Security
Your payment information is processed securely. We do not store credit card details nor have access to your credit card information.
Makes very good coffee and is beautiful to look at but in 4 months the safety for when it gets too hot already switched the machine completely off 2 times and then you have to take it apart to be able to reach the reset button. Majesty gives full warranty but not on shipping so you have to ship it to New York yourself in order to get it fixed if it breaks.

Majesty Coffee excellence
I just wanted to send a special thank you to Majesty Coffe for their excellent customer service. The first espresso machine was delivered quickly but there was a leak in the pressure guage. Majesty sent a replacement immediately after receiving notification that it was return shipped and within 24 hrs we had our new Appartmento espresso machine, which is working perfectly. Thank you Majesty Coffee!!! Five stars.
I ordered equipment for a coffee shop from the guys. Nuova Simonelli coffee machine and Fiorenzato coffee grinder. Everything was delivered on time, we were in touch all the time. Thank you so much! I will continue to order equipment from Majesty Coffee.
My X54 arrived with the translucent silicone-like backflow preventer bent into the lower grinding wheel and particles of it came out into my grind… I called and talked with Tony at Majesty and he gave me the Malkonig direct number and they in turn mentioned what had happened while in shipment that had brought on this issue and has sent to me a factory fresh replacement that is quite easy to remedy and this prompt customer support from both the merchant and manufacturer have been spot on… I love this little grinder
I received this particular item (Malkonig X54) quite promptly from Majesty and it was very well packaged… I have used it for only four (4) times… a single cup per day after running approximately 15 grams of roasted whole beans through it on its initial use for a “clean-out run” and found the grind, once the adjusting wheel was set, to be very consistent in my selection for a French press cup: HOWEVER, on this, the fourth day, two (2) fairly large chunks of a silicone-like substance that was used downline from the grinding portion of this grinder came out of the spout of which the manufacturer must have used to seal the discharge channel and into the spout discharge they came…
I have minimally used this grinder for I only grind for one (1) cup per day… about 18 grams per time.
I am awaiting to see what options that may come to me from Majesty in remedying this particular machine’s defect… Otherwise, it’s a great home machine except for this one particular shortcut that Malkonig took to channel the grind from the grinding portion of the machine… and, hopefully, this is the only X54 that this has had this issue but….
Majesty coffee is a great distributor and the Baratza grinder is a great product and the sound of the machine is a little loud but overstated in other reviews.
I did extensive research on the Eureka Mignon Specialita Espresso Grinder, and I am very pleased to share that this grinder has exceeded my expectations for build quality, quietness and producing precise espresso grind for my home cafe.
I had a La Pavoni in the past, so I knew what I was getting into. It’s not a machine for the casual user. But if you spend the time and effort learning how to use it, you will be rewarded. Majesty Coffee’s tutorial is very good. You will need a good espresso grinder, and a gram scale is also handy.
I have been using this Espresso machine for 4+ years. It is very robust. Steam wands deliver consistently and with good control (handles let the steam out gradually and not abruptly). Two espresso groups have dispencing buttons that are programmable (for each button you can decide how much pull you want), and let me tell you, it is consistent - every time you pull, it delivers pretty much the same amount. Water dispencer in the center of the machine is very hot - water comes out heated by steam so it is boiling. Easy to heat up cups and also make tea.
Maintenance-wise - machine is very simple inside, and is well designed. Of course if you use no filters on the feeding line to the machine, you will have calcification of the pipes on the inside according to the water harness in your area. But even then it is not that difficult to clean it - the service technician should not charge you over the top for it since it is not of high complecity.
In 4 years I had to service it 3 times. Once the water meter had to be replaced ($200). Once the o-ring on water solenoid needed to be replaced ($3.00). Once cleaning of the line from calcification - this is by the hour charge unless you have someone who can service it for free. Decalcification of the line took about 2 hours.
Of course you have to change the rubber rings on group heads and also the mesh - but you also can clean the mesh to a like new condition - that is up to you. Rubber rings are about $12.00 to replace. So as you can see this machine is not so high costs in maintenance due to being very simple. Yet it is a work horse.
We have hoped to replace our aging La Pavoni lever, but there were supply issues, and the Majesty sales rep recommended this machine. For us it was a major improvement in espresso quality, and we would certainly recommend the machine. Others with a lever maching might find the reasons useful:
1. The biggest effect is that this machine has precision temperature control via a PID - that dramatically improved quality vs a lever machine where the water is always very hot.
2. Pressure can be precisely controlled (in the Pavoni one has to take the bottom off the machine, and the adjustment is much cruder).
3. There is timer so shot amounts can be precisely timed.
4. To get steam one has to turn up the temperature which can take a bit of time, but we found that doing coffee and then the steam is pretty efficient. The insulated steam wand is really nice - easy to clean. On the Pavoni one needs to scrape of the milk that scales up the wand due to the heat.
5. A nice thing about the Pavoni is that it is easy to fix. Since the quick mill is mainly manual, there number parts is less than an automatic double boiler, so we expect it to be reliable. Parts seem easily available, so for a DIY person it should be self maintainable. The E61 group head is not only nicer, but also parts are widely available.
In conclusion, we are very happy with the move from a La Pavoni lever to the QM Alexia Evo. Time will tell re reliability. and we will report back if there is news on that front.
I needed the grinder for my bar in a fixed date, I was not sure it would arrive on time so I contacted the Majesty team and they made everything in their power to fulfill the order! I got a shipping label next day, they truly went above and beyond plus the prices were lower due to their sales and coupons. The grinder was new and well packaged. Will definitely buy again from them! Thanks guys!!
Excellent purchase. Arrived in timely manner and makes excellent expresso and Americano. Enjoying exploring and experimenting. Upgraded from my old DeLongi LasSpecialista.
