Rancilio espresso machineIf you are the kind of coffee lover who prefers a heavyweight, the Rancilio espresso machine would be your espresso machine of choice. This brand is stylishly designed in heavy brass. The more brass an espresso machine has, the better its temperature stability.

The Rancilio espresso machine has both its grouphead and boiler securely attached to each other. This results in exceptional heat tranfer for a steaming cup of hot espresso. This brand also has a thermostat whose wide range of “hot” and “cold” provides you with the temperature of your preference.

The Rancillo espresso machine makes creating milk-based coffee beverages an art form in itself. Many espresso drinkers liken adding milk to a Rancillo machine coffee brew akin to pouring rich sauce on a T-bone steak or prime rib.

The steaming performance of a Rancillo espresso machine will produce a wonderful latte or cappuccino with its single boiler. In a brief minute or two, you can have two milk-based drinks to enjoy.

The thermostat feature of the Rancilio espresso machine enables you to get that exact temperature you require, especially if you are able to start the coffee extraction at the very same instant as the heating cycle of its boiler. For picky coffee ethusiasts, this method is called “temperature surfing”, and it is apparent that the Rancillio espresso machine brand has manufactured its models in perfection of this technique.

If you are looking to achieve espresso nirvana, simply use a coffee bean grinder and go  “temperature surfing” on your Rancillo to own a small piece of coffee heaven.
