Sure, the Rancilio Epoca ST-1 is attractive, but don’t let the graceful curves deceive you. The Rancilio Epoca ST-1 is also a powerful, solidly-constructed, semi-automatic machine weighing in at 73 pounds. It just happens to have an eye-pleasing design.
Look beneath the sleek outer shell and you’ll find that the Rancilio Epoca comes equipped with a huge 3.9 liter copper, heat-exchange boiler. You’ll have the ability to create multiple, back-to-back beverages. It also provides good heat stability. Adding to the list of substantial features, the Epoca ST-1 also utilizes a 3-way solenoid valve, vibratory pump and a 1600 watt heating element.
Although commercially constructed, the Epoca ST-1 is designed as a high-end home use machine. Part of that home use design includes the convenience of an on-board, 2 liter water tank. With the Epoca ST-1, there’s no need to drill holes in counter tops for a direct water connection. When the water tank runs low, an amber colored light will illuminate to indicate that refilling is necessary. The water tank is accessed by lifting a cover on the top of the machine. Simply add water as needed.
Looking for some creature comforts? The Epoca ST-1 features an over-sized cup warming surface. When you’re entertaining, you’ll appreciate the additional room. In addition you’ll find: a ball-swivel steam arm, a separate hot water nozzle, a color-coded pressure gauge and two heavy duty, 58mm chrome-plated brass portafilters. (single and double spouts)
The Rancilio Epoca ST-1 operates like most semi-automatics. Plug it in, add water and flip the power rocker switch to the “on” position. Once the machine is properly heated, load, tamp and lock in the single or double spout portafilter. Flip the “brew” rocker switch to begin brewing and flip it off to stop the brew cycle. The boiler pressure can be monitored with the pressure gauge on the left side of the machine. To create steam for frothing, simply twist the steam knob on the top right side of the machine. Need hot water? Twist the hot water knob on the left.
The Epoca ST-1 has a lot of pluses for those seeking a quality home espresso machine. The most of important of which is that it’s a Rancilio. Rancilio has a long standing track record for producing quality machines. In addition, it isn’t difficult to find parts and service for a Rancilio, should the need arise.
The Rancilio Epoca ST-1 ships with two complete portafilters (single and double spout), two filter baskets, a measuring scoop, plastic tamper and an instruction manual. When purchased at Better Espresso, the Rancilio Epoca ST-1 also ships free of charge, with a 2 year warranty and no sales tax (unless shipping to Kentucky.)
