2. DESCRIPTION
The machines in the EPOCA series have been desi-
gned to prepare express coffee and hot beverages.
A positive-displacement pump inside the machine
powers the heater in which the water is heated. By
pressing the appropriate buttons, water is supplied
to the spouts in the form of hot water or steam, ac-
cording to needs.
The water to be used for the beverages is supplied
directly by the water supply, pressurized by the pump
and immediately heated by the steam produced by
the boiler.
2.1. Specifications and composition
The machine is composed of a steel carrying struc-
ture on which the mechanical and electrical compo-
nents are fitted. These are completely covered with
panels made of painted polyurethane and stainless
steel.
The beverages are dispensed at the front of the
machine, where all the buttons, control devices and
dispensers are to be found.
There is a cup-warming plate on the top of the ma-
chine.
