Can the Rocket Appartamento and Breville Dual Boiler both steam and brew simultaneously?

Question

I’d like to kill two birds with one stone while preparing my coffee. Is it possible for the Breville Dual Boiler and Rocket Appartamento to froth milk and brew espresso at once?

Answer 1

Sure, both the Rocket Appartamento as well as the Breville Dual Boiler can froth milk and brew coffee at the same time. This is a very important improvement if you are upgrading from a machine with a single boiler. However, the Breville Dual Boiler has around 30% less steaming capacity than the Rocket Appartamento, meaning that it can produce the same amount of steamed milk as the Appartamento and still do it quicker. For additional comfort, the kept the Appartamento design with a no burn steam arm that stays comparatively cooler during the operation itself preventing aggressive milk adhesion around steam tip.

Rocket Appartamento is VERY bad for home usage.
All E61 group head is made for shops that have specific production rate.
Btw it is also very bad for time of orders rush, as it likes to overheat and do nasty stuff.
BDB is undoubted king for real world home usage.
But on their place I'll make it smaller and will reduce and change both boilers.
First - need to make them repairable like on Delonghi.
Second - need to stop using steam boiler as heat exchanger as it is stupid and reduce it's size to something like 400ml, perfect for home machine.
Third - stop doing fully useless expensive heated group, as the way it is made it make little to no sense.
