Rancilio Classe 5 ST 1 Group Espresso Machine - Reliable Commercial Performance
The Rancilio Classe 5 ST 1 Group is a professional heat exchanger espresso machine designed for consistent results, simple operation, and long-term reliability. Built as the successor to the Epoca series, it delivers commercial-grade performance in a compact, tank-fed design ideal for cafés, mobile catering, offices, and serious home baristas.
Key Features
Heat exchanger boiler
Semi-automatic control
Built-in water tank
Ergonomic steam lever
Commercial brew group
Professional Heat Exchanger System
The Classe 5 ST features a powerful 4-liter heat exchanger boiler that allows you to brew espresso and steam milk at the same time. This ensures fast workflow, stable temperatures, and excellent cup quality, even during busy service. Hot water can also be drawn directly from the boiler for tea, Americanos, and other beverages.
Designed for Comfort and Daily Use
With its ergonomic layout, curved group covers, and comfortable work area, the Classe 5 ST is built for barista comfort. The C-Lever steam control offers precise handling with two positions for pulse or full steam, making milk texturing smooth and controlled. LED lighting improves visibility while adding a modern, professional look.
Tank Version Flexibility
The built-in 2-liter water reservoir makes this machine extremely versatile. Since no direct water line is required, the Classe 5 ST only needs a power connection, making it perfect for locations where plumbing is not available. Height-adjustable feet and included extensions allow easy setup on different countertops.
Easy Maintenance and Long-Term Durability
Constructed from brushed stainless steel, ABS, and nylon panels, the Classe 5 ST is built to last. The scratch-proof polymer drip tray insert is dishwasher safe for easy daily cleaning, while the Hydro Hub simplifies maintenance and keeps internal components in top condition.
