Rocket Appartamento TCA + Eureka Mignon Specialità Bundle
The Appartamento TCA is the evolution of the iconic Appartamento espresso machine, with a modern aesthetic and features that take the Appartamento up a gear.
The new design and new 4 preset temperature settings are aimed at delivering an even better coffee experience in the home, raising the benchmark for performance in this category of premium domestic espresso machines.
The Appartamento TCA was designed by Valerio Cometti, whose brief was to preserve the original Appartamento’s distinctive aesthetic, whilst also seeking to evolve the design for today’s barista.
A smoother contour and sensual feel has been brought to the almost “Bauhaus” architecture of the original machine which increases the desire to touch and interact with the “new” AppartamentoTCA.
Aesthetically the new Appartamento has been softened to enhance the relationship between the machine and the barista, through the introduction of two new design elements: new housing with smoother rounded sides and new accentuated side holes.
A new design for the “engine” of Appartamento: the brewing group. A dynamic, purposeful shape, with a distinctive look that sets it apart from imitators, allowing the Appartamento TCA to stand out in this category of premium domestic machines.
Not only aesthetical changes have been made to the Appartamento TCA: Thanks to the new electronics developed by Rocket, the Appartamento TCA allows the user to adjust and manage new machine functions:
The new control board allows for 4 different temperature presets to be selected as well as offering the possibility to select an energy saving mode which puts the machine in stand-by after 30 minutes of non usage.
In addition, boiler insulation has been improved which reduces overall energy consumption by 15%.
A new ergonomic portafilter handle as well as a wider drip tray complement the vast list of upgrades from the previous Appartamento.

The Eureka Mignon Specialita’ is an extremely capable home barista coffee grinder that offers you great value for the money. Though this is an all-purpose coffee grinder, the bigger burrs and its name make it especially good for espresso coffee. If you are searching for a true prosumer coffee grinder in a compact size and for very good value, look no further.
The Specialita’ is fitted with 55 mm flat burrs and a stepless micrometric adjustment. Pair this with an incredibly intuitive touch screen for single, double, and manual doses and you will soon understand why this coffee grinder soon became our all-time best seller. There are also other features that you won’t see but you will definitely notice when grinding the coffee: Eureka’s silent technology, for instance, makes it up to 10 dB quieter than the previous generation allowing you to prepare your early morning coffee without waking up the whole family. Moreover, the ACE System (Anti-Clumps & Electrostaticity System) avoids the creation of clumps by eliminating the electrostatic charge of the ground coffee giving you incredibly consistent and linear doses.
Pros
Bigger burrs: unlike the Perfetto or the Silenzio, this coffee grinder is fitted with 55 mm burrs instead of 50 mm which enables it to grind up to 1.8 g of coffee each second.
Design and Functionality: we believe that the Mignon more than any other coffee grinder manages to successfully mix a clean and compact design without sacrificing the many incredible innovations fitted in Eureka’s professional coffee grinders.
The Silence: the Specialita' is extremely silent compared to any conventional coffee grinder. This makes it ideal for apartments with thin walls where the noise can easily spread.
Things to Consider
For Espresso Lovers: if you stick to espresso, then this is the one to go for. With bigger burrs and the adjustable fork as standard, this coffee grinder is focused for a home barista layout. If you like to pass between different coffee styles, then we recommend the more versatile Eureka Mignon Perfetto.
Careful with the hopper: the plastic hopper and the lid on top in particular, are fragile and can break if dropped.
