2. DESCRIPTION
The machines in the EPOCA series have been
designed to prepare espresso 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,
according to choice.
The water to be used for beverages is supplied
directly from the water supply, pressurized by the
pump, and immediately heated by the steam
produced in the boiler.
The machine is composed of a steel structure
onto which the mechanical and electrical components
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 located.
There is a cup-warming plate on top of the machine.
