Buyer's Tip:
The benefits of the iSteam

Busy cafes should consider the Classe 8 DE models with the iSteam automatic milk frothing steam wand. The iSteam is a powerful and smart automatic frother with the ability to froth over 56 litres of milk per hour!

There are two buttons, one for lattes and another for cappuccinos. Each one can be preset to a desired temperature and emulsification. With the iSteam capable of heating 500mL of milk from 10 degrees Celsius to 65 degrees Celsius in 30 seconds, your cafe will easily satisfy the busiest lunchtimes.

Rancilio Classe 8 is the new standard for  busy coffee bars and restaurants that need speed, reliability and unmatched versatility, and want the latest industry advancements and high-end style that reflects their own operation. The entire body of the Classe 8 is constructed of stainless steel with particular attention paid to the satin, brushed finish.

The newly tweaked brew group incorporates an expanded pre-infusion chamber that is capable of coaxing maximum flavour from your espresso, for taste and aroma without comparison, and that will impress your customers. Smooth and consistent espresso delivery is ensured by the industry leading Procon NSF pump backed up by the powerful "RPM" brand electric motor. Pump pressure adjustment is easily accomplished with the quick removal of the side panel - unlike many other machines where pump adjustment is completely discouraged by the machine design.

The entire body of the Classe 8 is constructed of stainless steel and other sturdy metals. The internal components are designed with special care insuring the legendary Rancilio reliability for many years. In addition, the well thought out construction and easy access to those components facilitates the technician's inspections and work.

In addition, the computer senses the instant either hot-water dispenser is pressed, and immediately activates the heating element. This feature gives the Classe 8 "best in class" boiler recovery during peak period usage. The hot water dispensers can be programmed to dispense a pre-determined amount of water (with override) for maximum safety and convenience in busy cafes.  Rancilio boilers feature independent fully welded heat exchangers. Many other manufacturer's save money using non-welded gaskets and fitting which require expensive service calls over time. For further ease of use, the Classe 8 uses an optical water level sensor. This removes the headache of scale damaging the water probe which is a problem that other espresso machines have.

The drip tray design includes removable sections that are constructed of high endurance scratch poof polymers and can easily be cleaned either by hand or in the dishwasher. The redesigned drip tray quickly removes and excess coffee thus keeping the bottoms of the cups perfectly clean.

Rancilio Classe 8 S means "affordable quality". Many coffee bars prefer the simplicity and Barista control that is afforded by the brew unit's simple on/off switch. It means the operator can instantly choose to brew an unlimited variety of shot sizes for individual customers or for you, the owner, to offer more expanded menu choices. Making various sizes and combinations of Americano's couldn't be easier. No advanced computer menu options and features also appeal to those looking to save money while still benefiting from Rancilio's ability to deliver exceptional value and quality in a high end machine.

The new, sleek style of the Rancilio portafilters are designed with a slight downward angle for Barista comfort. The prominent Double-R of the Rancilio logo is recessed and can easily be used as a promotional tool by placing a co-branded product logo on it.

The 22 liter copper boiler features a fully welded heat exchanger. Fully welded means there will never be leaking gaskets to deal with down the road. With features such as electronic boiler water level and an anti-syphon valve (prevents accidental milk infiltration into boiler), the 
Classe 8 is low maintenance. Another innovation from Rancilio is the elimination of the old mechanical pressurestat. Mechanical pressurestats are prone to wide temperature swings, causing more variability in the espresso pour. Rancilio has solved this with a reliable and accurate electronic thermocouple, which has a much longer lifespan, in addition to its improved temperature stability.

Rancilio has spent considerable time developing the "Clever" steam valve. The  "Clever" lever allows you to steam milk effortlessly without any knobs to turn. The Clever's ergonomic handle has been designed for ease of use in multiple positions. Flip the "Clever" handle up to the auto-lock position which allows you to quickly steam and froth milk with maximum speed. From the neutral/off position turn the steam valve down a quarter turn and it opens completely for feathering or touching up steamed milk - giving the Barista maximum control. The Clever is currently standard on all Rancilio commercial espresso machines.

The boiler pressure gauge is colour coded for easy viewing and tells at a glance if the machine is up to operating pressure. The Rancilio 
Classe 8 is designed to be plumbed in and in.

Power supply is sometimes a strain depending on your area. Around the world there is no set voltage and it can range from 207 to 250 volts! This is why the Rancilio engineers fitted the Rancilio commercial espresso machines with V-FLEX. This ingenious device automatically adjust the computer to the incoming power supply ensuring that your espresso machine will function properly unlike older espresso machines that can "act up" when supplied with insufficient power.

The Rancilio Classe 8 looks great, is constructed with only the highest, premium high grade components for durability, and gives everyone from franchise holder to roaster/retailer the ultimate in performance and flexibility! If delivering impressive espresso based drinks is your mission the Rancilio Classe 8 is the machine of choice for you!
