Rancilio Epoca ST 1 Espresso Machine
My Epoca ST 1, purchased a couple of months ago stopped working today. Circuit checks out ok, and no reponse to the switches, no response on the green lights, nada. No previous odd behavior, just today's non-functioning.

Rancilio Epoca ST 1 Espresso Machine
Well, our machine has worked fine since it first arrived. Now, last couple of days it have been loosing pressure suddenly and everything seems right but the fact it get loose that often is starting to scare us all. There is enough water at the tank, it is normally plugged and it gets rinsed often. What can be happening? Because there is no weird noise coming ot of it. After we run some water from the group head the pressure starts to build up until it falls once again, and keeps doing it

Sanfam ♦ As I'm not quite sure if I fully understand the problem, please correct me if I'm off-target on anything written below.
Under typical operating conditions, it is perfectly normal for the steam pressure gauge on a machine of this design to rise and fall in a regular pattern. This occurs as a direct result of the boiler being heated up to the point where the steam pressure flips the pressurestat off (which operates like a thermostat in a sense for the water in the boiler) and then cooling back down to the point where the steam pressure drops low enough to switch the pressurestat on again. The speed at which this occurs will vary from one machine to another. Additionally, heat exchanger machines heat their brewing circuit's water by pulling heat from the water that is steaming--As the machine pushes cool or cold water through the boiler to be heated, it will see a drop in temperature and a matched drop in steam pressure, to the point where the machine may start re-heating the boiler (and rebuilding pressure).
Basically, It's nothing to worry about under normal circumstances! I hope this helps.

I have pressure making espressos but when we backwash the machine will stop making noise. It seems like there is not enough pressure for it to backwash the water back into the machine. Everything else appears to be working.
Thank you for your time, Val

mjackson ♦ Valerie,
It is working fine because of the great amount of pressure during backflushing it causes the pump to get very quiet. This is normal. If you hear the whosh of sound when you are done,that is the pressure relieving itself. I would not be concerned.

I left my Rancilio Silvia on over the weekend: Friday PM - Monday PM. I turned it off when I got home, but this morning the boiler is not heating up. Is there anything I can do?

TechMilanoItalia Try resetting the High Limit Thermostat: Silvia High Limit Reset Instructions The following instructions are designed to make the replacement of Silvia thermostats quick easy and safe. Please read the entire instructions before you start. 1. Unplug the Silvia 2. Remove water tank. 3. Remove the four screws on the top cover. 4. Remove the top cover. You will see two tan or blue thermostats on the top of the boiler. While facing the front of the Silvia the one on the left with the red dot is the brew thermostat. The one on the right is the steam thermostat. The high limit switch is the small thermostat located on the left side, but not on top of the boiler. It has a very small red plunger in the center. Push this plunger inward a few times; to be sure it’s reset. Use some care, the plunger is rather delicate; too heavy a hand will pull the plunger out of the body of the switch. 5. Screw the top on, install the reservoir and plug the unit back. 6. Turn the main power switch on and test it out.

Rancilio Epoca ST 1 Espresso Machine
I'm having pressure problems with my new machine generally and it never seems to quite reach critical mass (pressure wise) and consequently doesn't ever quite recover. We've only just used it a couple of times and the pressure issue was from the beginning. We have another machine (exact same) and it doesn't behave this way. Thank you for your help.

WholeLatteLoveS S Hi Brian, I assume you mean that you don't have enough steam pressure and that the steam pressure on the gauge is lower than on your other machine. If this is the case then probably the pressure-stat will have to be adjusted up a little bit. Contact our tech support folks and they can assist. Let us know how you make out.

If you would like to know a little about the many types of espresso machines we sell, this would be a good video to get you started. This video covers the machines we sell and based on your lifestyle, what you like to drink, and ease of use. It will give you an overview of different espresso machines and help you determine which one best suits to your needs.
I would watch the video and focus on a particular kind of machine—prosumer, semi-automatic, and super-automatic to decide which kind is ideal for you. Then, you can go and look at individual models to get a better idea of exactly what you want. Of course, if you narrow it down to a few espresso machines and are still undecided, give us a call and we would be glad to help!

Chance Great video. Covers the basics and really helps you find the category that fits your life. Super auto for me!

Rancilio Epoca ST-1
In short…Epoca is what Rancilio advertises it to be: A commercial grade heat exchanger style machine which can be used at home. Warmup: Boiler reaches factory set boiler pressure of ~15 psig (adjustable) within 15 minutes of turning on. Before pulling a shot, I leave the portafilter in the group head for another 15 minutes, then pull one blank shot. After this the machines ready to go. This 30 minute warmup cycle isn't a problem with me since I turn it on when I wake up and it heats up while preparing for work. Water temperature stability: Stable. The boiler is factory set (user adjustable) to cycle on when the boiler pressure drops to ~12 psig and cycle off when it reaches ~15 psig. This heating cycle is ~10 seconds. These on/off setpoints translate to boiler steam/water temperatures of ~243 F and ~250 F & illustrate the consistent temperature at the heat exchanger thru which the expresso water gets pumps through before passing through the portafilter. Frothing: It has plenty of frothing power. The latest version of Epoca has the “Clever” steam switch – turn the “Clever” counter clockwise 1/4 of a turn and it locks the steam valve at 100% open. If you prefer to vary the steam flow while frothing just turn the “Clever” clockwise (downward) and you can manually control steam flow from 0% up to 100%.
