Overview

Rancilio Classe 5 USB Tall 1 Group Espresso Machine (RC1G C5EVO BLK)

The Rancilio Classe 5 USB Tall 1 Group Espresso Machine is a compact commercial espresso machine built for cafes, restaurants, hotels, offices, and hospitality venues requiring consistent, professional-grade espresso in a space-efficient footprint. Featuring Rancilio's USB (Steady Brew) extraction technology, the machine maintains stable brewing temperatures throughout each extraction cycle, delivering reliable shot quality during busy service periods without sacrificing workflow speed.

Designed for low to medium-volume coffee service, the Classe 5 USB Tall combines a 4-litre boiler, volumetric rotary vane pump, and programmable dosing controls into a durable brushed stainless steel chassis. The tall deck configuration accommodates cups up to 145mm in height, making it well suited to takeaway formats and larger beverage styles, while the multifunction onboard computer with USB port simplifies both daily operation and routine maintenance.

Key Benefits

• Steady Brew (USB) extraction technology keeps brewing temperatures stable throughout each shot, ensuring consistent espresso quality during high-demand service.
• Tall deck clearance of up to 145mm lets takeaway cups and larger beverage formats sit directly under the group head, speeding up workflow and eliminating unnecessary cup transfers.
• Four programmable volumetric drink doses via soft-touch keypad allow baristas to reproduce consistent results quickly without manual adjustment between each serve.
• Simultaneous brewing and steaming capability means milk texturing and espresso extraction can happen concurrently, reducing wait times during busy periods.
• The C-Lever quarter-turn steam tap with two distinct positions (purge and fully open) gives precise steam control for efficient, repeatable milk texturing throughout a shift.
• A built-in rotary vane water pump enables straightforward plumbed installation without the need for an external pump, simplifying setup and ongoing maintenance.
• Automated cleaning programme reduces daily cleaning time and ensures the group head and boiler system are maintained correctly with minimal staff effort.
• The ergonomic portafilter holder with up to 21g capacity is designed for comfortable all-day use, reducing operator fatigue in high-volume environments.
