About Rancilio
Rancilio was founded in 1927 and has spent the decades since becoming one of the industry's most trusted names — selling into over 115 countries and running two dedicated R&D centres. The brand built its reputation on the home-favourite Silvia, and the Classe 5 range takes that same proven reliability and scales it up to genuine commercial level.
The Product
The Classe 5 USB delivers Silvia-level Rancilio reliability at commercial scale, with automatic dosing (USB) built in across every configuration. Available as a single-boiler machine in 1 Group, 2 Group, or 2 Group Compact, all versions come with raised group heads as standard, and most also support Rancilio's Steady Brew (SB) technology for extra consistency.
Rancilio's patented thermal control technology makes this one of the most powerful single-boiler machines in its category, and the Tall versions raise the group heads further still to accommodate glasses up to 14.5cm high — useful if your menu leans toward taller iced or layered drinks. Fast cleaning cycles complete in under 5 minutes, and every version can also be converted from electricity to gas if your site needs that flexibility down the line.
Key Features
Automatic volumetric dosing (USB) — Consistent output across every configuration, standard on all versions.
Raised group heads — Every version accommodates taller cups than a standard-height group.
Tall variant option — Extends clearance to 14.5cm for glasses and layered drinks.
Steady Brew (SB) technology — Available on all versions except 1GR and 1GR Tall, for extra extraction consistency.
Gas conversion available — Flexibility to move off-grid later if your site situation changes.
Choosing Between Versions
Available in 1 Group Tall, 2 Group Tall, and 2 Group Compact. The 1 Group Tall suits smaller cafés or offices; the 2 Group Tall handles busier commercial volume with tall-glass clearance; the 2 Group Compact fits the same 2-group throughput into a narrower counter footprint where space is tight.
Why Choose This Product
The Classe 5 USB is for the operator who wants Rancilio's proven single-boiler reliability with genuine automatic dosing consistency built in from the start — and who values the flexibility to convert to gas later if their power situation changes. If tall-glass drinks are part of your menu, the Tall versions solve that clearance problem directly.
