Rancilio is one of the best-known and most loved brands in the world of espresso. The Italian manufacturer’s Silvia is the most popular home espresso machine among our customers and worldwide. The brand is associated with reliability, quality and great value for money, so we are excited to be the first to offer some of their commercial machines in South Africa.

Rancilio Classe 5 Commercial Espresso Machines

You could say that Rancilio’s Classe 5 commercial espresso range adheres to the same principles as the beloved Silvia. These machines are designed to be simple, reliable and affordable – perfect for a small cafe, restaurant coffee offering or even a mobile coffee station.

Easy to install, operate and maintain, the Classe 5 range of espresso machines are an ideal investment for a new coffee venture. They are built with high quality commercial components including sizeable independent heat exchange boilers, pump and boiler pressure control gauges and a built in volumetric pump.

Side panels are now available in Anthracite Black, Ice White or Stone Grey. Please request your preferred colour when placing your order with our team.

About the USB automatic versions

The USB versions of the Classe 5 feature on board computers and automatic dosing. This means that you can programme the dose for up to 4 different coffee beverages, press the button and walk away while the machine delivers exactly the right amount of hot water. In a busy environment, this feature can be invaluable as the barista doesn’t have to worry about stopping the shot at the right time.

Currently available in tall version

Most espresso machines have enough cup clearance to brew into an espresso shot glass. If you want to brew your espresso shot straight into a tall takeaway cup or latte glass, this can be limiting as you may not be able to fit the cup under the group head. Fortunately, the Rancilio Classe 5 USB also comes in a Tall option with recessed group heads, which provides extra cup clearance of ~14cm which is ample for any cup! That is currently the version that we sell.
