Coffee Machines, Makers - RANCILIO EPOCA ESPRESSO

Now let's give you the full low-down on this fantastic machine....

Designed with the Prosumer in mind, the Rancilio Epoca ST 1 model is the perfect combination of quality and performance. The Epoca ST 1 includes all of the benefits of a café semi-automatic, but with a built-in water tank for convenient home use. This commercial quality machine will please any coffee buff who is accustomed to paramount quality in the luxury of their own home/office/small cafe

Rancilio is one of the most respected names in commercial espresso machines & brings you one of the most respected espresso machines ever introduced for the home/office/small cafe market

The Epoca has garnered quite a bit of praise from critics and consumers alike, becoming a present day legend. Although Epoca is classified as a home/office/small cafe espresso maker, it sports many of the features found in commercial espresso machines, but at a more affordable price

Features Include:

The Epoca ST features commercial quality components like a three-way solenoid valve for maximum heat retention and an oversized brass boiler with a heat exchanger

Just like its predecessor - the Rancilio S24, the Epoca ST has plenty of power for steaming and frothing time after time. With its easy-to-read controls and color-coded pressure gauge, the Epoca ST clearly informs you of when the water or boiler pressure is low

The Epoca ST also has separate steam and hot water knobs that are easy to turn and sit on the front of the machine. Both the steam and hot water wand swivel on a ball-joint – therefore can be used with almost any size cup or frothing pitcher

The Epoca ST comes from Rancilio with a single and double spout portafilter, a single and double shot filter basket, a measuring scoop, a plastic tamper and a detailed instruction manual

Please note: Because the Rancilio Epoca ST is a commercial espresso machine, it cannot be returned. All sales of commercial and semi-commercial equipment are final. For more information, please see our policies page

Commercial-Grade Portafilter and Brew Group
The Epoca ST comes with a heavy-duty single spout and double spout portafilter. Chrome-plated brass portafilters are excellent for temperature stability throughout the brewing process. This commercial brew group also provides excellent heat stability as well as component longevity

Boiler
An oversized 3.9 litre heat exchanger boiler is included on this Italian espresso machine. With the power of a heat exchanger boiler, you can switch back and forth between brewing and steaming with no down time. Plus, its large size means there's more time between refills

Solenoid Valve
The Rancilio Epoca ST features a commercial quality three-way solenoid valve. This valve relieves the machine of water pressure, allowing you to brew again almost immediately. A solenoid valve also removes more water from the coffee puck – making it easier to empty the portafilter

High Quality Controls
The Epoca, despite being a Prosumer machine, features simple to use controls. A rocker switch turns on the power to the machine, while a button above the brew group lets you manually start and stop the brewing process.

To keep you informed during use, the Rancilio Epoca ST has two indicator lights that monitor the machine's operation. When the boiler is full and the machine is operating normally, a green light illuminates near the power rocker switch. A yellow light appears when the water level is low and needs to be filled. The Epoca also features a temperature ready light to let you know when the machine has reached proper brewing temperatures

Cup Warmer
Since warm cups are an essential part of enjoying delicious espresso, the cup warmer on the Rancilio Epoca ST is heated passively by the machine’s large boiler, and accommodates more than a dozen cups. By brewing directly into warm cups, you won’t loose precious temperature that can alter the taste and quality of your espresso

Hot Water Dispenser
In addition to steaming and frothing, the Epoca includes a separate dispenser for hot water for tea, hot chocolate or café Americanos. Just turn the knob above the dispenser and hot water is poured into your waiting cup

Steaming Wand
The Epoca ST has a multi-position steam wand that makes steaming or frothing milk simple. Since the wand is on a ball-joint, you can immerse the wand into milk pitchers of various sizes, letting you make froth for lattes or cappuccinos in seconds

Extra-Large Water Reservoir
To accommodate large applications, the Epoca features a bigger water tank than most Prosumer machines. When it's time to refill, this espresso machine will notify you with a light on the front panel

Maintenance
Backflushing the Epoca should be done at least every few days, depending on usage

Simply place a blank filter basket into the portafilter and add a tablespoon of cleaner

Turn on the pump and begin the brew process

Once pressure builds, turn the pump off and the cleaner will be pushed into the brew group, through the three-way solenoid valve and down into the drip pan

Continue this process without cleaner until the water that runs out into the drip pan is clear
