The Rancilio company has a long tradition of building high-quality espresso machines dating back to the 1920's. Rancilio's goal is to maintain their position of leadership in the industry and to provide customers with a means of enjoying a great cup of espresso, anywhere, anytime.
The Rancilio Epoca ST-1 is the perfect machine for a coffee shop or a little business that does more than a "few cups a day". Made of heavy duty construction, this commercial machine excels at making a perfect espresso extraction time after time.
It is fully NSF certified for commercial use, and features a huge 3.9 liter boiler plus a 2 liter water reservoir.
An oversized 3.9 liter boiler lets the user switch between brewing and steaming with no down time in between. No need to constantly fill the water tank with this size boiler!
The steam and hot water nozzles are separate on this machine and both sit on a swivel joint. For your convenience, you can put them out of the way when cleaning the machine. In addition, you can use pretty much any size frothing pitcher for making cappuccinos and your favorite coffeehouse drinks.
The passively-heated cup warmer on top of this machine will hold about a dozen espresso cups and keep them nice and toasty and ready for espresso.
The body of the Epoca is made of molded ABS plastic which makes this machine rust proof and scratch proof.
