Machine Overview

The Lelit Anita and Rocket Appartamento are both semi-automatic espresso machines catering to different skill levels and price ranges. The Lelit Anita is priced at $780 and is designated for beginners, making it more accessible for those just starting their espresso journey. In contrast, the Rocket Appartamento comes at a higher price of $1,850 and targets intermediate users, suggesting a greater level of complexity and features suited for enthusiasts.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing capabilities, the Lelit Anita operates with a toggle switch activation and features a brass brew group with a single boiler heating element. Its heat-up time ranges from 5 to 15 minutes, making it reasonably quick for use. On the other hand, the Rocket Appartamento employs a lever for activation and features a chrome-plated brass brew group with a heat exchanger system and a longer heat-up time of 15 to 30 minutes, facilitating a different brewing experience.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, the Lelit Anita includes an integrated grinder and a boiler pressure gauge, though it lacks auto shutoff and steam pressure gauge functionality. Conversely, the Rocket Appartamento offers a steam pressure gauge, pre-infusion capabilities, and concurrent brewing with steaming, but does not have an integrated grinder. Both machines have solenoid valves and steam wands; however, only the Rocket Appartamento features a no-burn wand, enhancing safety during operation.
