Overview

The Rancilio Classe 5 is a mid-range commercial machine from the maker of the legendary Silvia home espresso machine. Designed for cafés producing up to 200 drinks daily, the Classe 5 features a generously sized copper boiler with heat exchanger groups that deliver stable brew temperatures. The ergonomic design reduces barista fatigue with well-positioned steam wands and an elevated drip tray. Available in USB (electronic) and S (semi-automatic) versions with 1 to 3 groups. The Classe 5 carries Rancilio's reputation for bulletproof reliability and clean extraction into the commercial segment at a price point accessible to independent coffee shop owners.

The Rancilio Classe 5 comes equipped with pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a heat exchanger boiler system made of copper with a 5000 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $5,500, the Rancilio Classe 5 is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.

In terms of build quality, the Rancilio Classe 5 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 55.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 3500W of power. With dimensions of 520 x 540 x 420 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. This machine requires direct plumbing, which provides unlimited water supply but needs professional installation.
