Rancilio Epoca ST-1 Espresso Machine is the perfect manual machine for cafes, bistros - anyone serving professional espresso drinks. Because of its semi-automatic control, the Rancilio Epoca is extremely simple to use and reliable in all situations. An independent water tank - that allows the machine to be used without a main water supply connection - is included.
Rancilio Epoca ST-1 Espresso Machine Features:
Tank is independent so it can be used without a main water supply connection, providing versatility. It also has a built-in water softener, demonstrating Rancilio’s attention to details.
Grid System: Support grids come in a scratchproof polymer, with an efficient liquid collection system that keeps the work surface clean and protects cups against unsightly marks left by drops of coffee. This revolutionary work surface is provided in all Rancilio products. The grids are removable for washing in a dishwasher.
Commercial-Grade Portafilter and Brew Group, a heavy-duty single-spout and double-spout portafilter, is combined with a brew group that provides excellent heat stability as well as component longevity. Chrome-plated brass portafilters are excellent for temperature stability throughout the brewing process.
The Boiler is an oversized 3.9-liter heat exchanger boiler. The power of a heat exchanger boiler allows switching back and forth between brewing and steaming with no down time. Its large size means there's more time between refills.
Three-Way Solenoid Valve, of commercial quality, relieves the machine of water pressure, allowing almost immediate repeat brewing. A solenoid valve also removes more water from the coffee puck – making it easier to empty the portafilter.
High Quality Controls are simple to use, even though the Epoca is a Prosumer machine. A rocker switch turns on the power, while a button above the brew group allows manual starting and stopping of the brewing process. To keep you informed during use, the Rancilio Epoca ST’s two indicator lights monitor the machine's operation. When the boiler is full during normal operation, a green light shows near the power rocker switch. A yellow light appears when the water level is low and the tank needs re-filling. The Epoca also features a light that indicates when the machine has reached proper brewing temperatures.
The Cup Warmer is essential for enjoying delicious espresso, so that it can be served in warm cups. The Rancilio Epoca ST’s is heated passively by the machine’s large boiler and accommodates more than a dozen cups. By directly brewing into warm cups, precious heat that can alter the taste and quality of espresso won’t be lost.

intrepid510 | Sat, 05/12/2012 - 02:37Had the opportunity to use this machine as a demo at a local cafe, really easy to use and nice that it is switchable from tank to direct connect. I also rally enjoy the styling on it as it won't look too out of place on a home counter top. A really great machine to be a end all be all home machine.
