The Rancilio Epoca espresso machine is a fully automatic designed for high production environments in busy Cafés and restaurants. The Rancilio Epoca is user-programmable for four different sized espresso shots on each group and with the addition of a manual on/off button is capable of covering every possible situation. The hot water delivery is controlled by a soft-touch switch and can be set to dispense a pre-determined amount of water (with override) for maximum safety and convenience. The Epoca has a hidden switch to 'lock' the programs in place and prevent non-authorized adjustment of the settings.
All Rancilio boilers feature a fully welded heat exchanger; many commercial machines have less costly "bolt & gasket" construction, which are prone to leakage over time. The anti-syphon valve prevents accidental milk infiltration into boiler. The boiler pressure gauge on the front panel is color coded for easy viewing. The water delivery system, provided with independent heat exchangers, allows for easy adjustment of the machine, assuring a high quality espresso with any kind of coffee blends.
The Rancilio Epoca has an exclusive and patented machine body which is rust-proof, scratch-proof, and age-resistant. Epoca features a large cup storing surface, two steam nozzles for milk heating and a high capacity hot water delivery system.
