Rancilio Classe 5 - 2 group Compact

The compact is the perfect machine for a small coffee shop that does not do the volumes to justify a full size machine but that does need two groups for that big group of people that comes in at once. It can handle good volumes but will somewhat limited in handling high traffic volumes in short periods.(Large events, outlets with typical early morning rush hour). 

The compact is now available only in the Tall version allowing for the use of large take away cups upto 500ml in size.

If the traffic flow is a consistent flow without large peaks this machine will work very well.

The machine has a 5 liter boiler but runs a 3000W element(the same power as some full size machines) that allows it to cope with higher volumes without a problem.

The compact is now also available in the auto (USB) version. (Picture of the USB shows the C-Lever steam knobs not available in SA)
