The Rancilio Epoca series - 1 Group A fully-functional professional machine in a small package!

Available in three variants, the automatic (E1), semi-automatic (S1) or semi-automatic tank-filled (ST1), all have the benefit of requiring only a 13amp power supply.

The Rancilio Classe 6 series - Compact 2 Group
The best things come in small packages - especially true of the Rancilio Compact Classe 6 espresso machine. Great for the small restaurant or wine bar, this machine has been designed to fit into the tightest of spaces. With the optional flat sides (i.e. without the drip tray wings shown in the picture) this fully functional 2 group is only 570mm wide, yet is capable of producing 150-200 coffees per hour and it's compact 5 litre boiler has plenty of steam pressure. It also operates from a 13amp plug which makes it convenient for sites where 20 or 30 amp power is unavailable. Available in semi-automatic or automatic versions.
The Rancilio Classe 6 series - 2 and 3 Group The Compact's big brother is every bit the professional machine with an 11 litre boiler on the 2 group and a massive 16 litres with the 3 group. The versatility of the Classe 6 means it's equally at home in the busy restaurant, bar, coffee shop or hotel.
The Rancilio Classe 8 series - Standard The standard Classe 8, featuring a high-tech digital interface, automatic self-cleaning programmes and superlative coffee quality is equally at home in the smartest coffee shop or most stylish restaurant. With its stainless steel body panels and clean lines it is both beautiful to look at and easy to care for.
The Rancilio Classe 8 series - Tall The Classe 8 Tall, which has all the innovative features of the standard version, is fitted with a lowered drip tray that allows large take-away cups to be used with the minimum of fuss. The addition of the optional, unique iSteam auto-frother makes this the ultimate coffee shop machine.
The Rancilio Classe 10 - cutting edge technology
The Classe 10 USB is Rancilio's flagship model. Its high-tech features surpass even those of the Classe 8 and the stunning design lends itself to every application.With the Classe 10, however, beauty is much more than skin deep. The technology behind this machine makes it one of the most advanced espresso machines in the world. From the seven day on/off timer, to the coffee grind monitor and three stage electric cup warmer, every feature is designed with ease of use and coffee quality in mind. One feature that is very popular with baristas is the quadruple temperature water fonts - two fonts are utilised, one draws water from the boiler as normal, whilst the other is drawn through a heat exchanger and can be programmed to three distinct temperatures and doses, which means cooler water for brewing green tea and herbal infusions and allows you to make americanos without scorching the coffee.
Rancilio iSteam
automatic frothing wand The iSteam is a revolutionary and unique steam wand developed by Rancilio. It effectively de-skills the job of foaming milk to barista standard, and heats the milk to a pre-set, programmable temperature.
The iSteam can help compensate for a novice barista's inexperience, and also act as an extra pair of hands during exceptionally busy periods. Additionally, because the milk is heated in a standard foaming jug, a lot of the theatre of coffee-making is retained unlike fully-automatic "push button" coffee machines.
The iSteam is fully programmeable, both for temperature, volume of froth produced and bubble size. It is possible to produce a very tight foam suitable for the modern lattè/cappuccino hybrid drink or a lighter, airier foam for traditional cappuccinos. Also, with its dual lattè and cappuccino buttons, it is possible to programme each independently for entirely different results.
C-lever (Clever) Clever (Rancilio Patent) is the new steam valve with a special control knob and ergonomic design is complete with open-stay and open-close functions.
The valve has a very short travel distance, and is operated by rotating it just 25°. Turning it upwards, it opens and remains in this position. Turned downwards, it automatically closes when released.
Rapidity, precision and ergonomics: maximum user comfort for daily work.
