The EPICA combines the mechanical feel of a lever with the stability of a modern dual boiler machine – modern nostalgia on the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoffee Coaching Club is a partner of Rocket in Switzerland.

The EPICA makes a different statement. It's for anyone who's after the moment at the lever, who wants to guide the pressure profile by hand, and who wants the presence of a saturated group on the counter. An emotional decision, and one we respect – whoever wants it knows why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Goes With It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA machine in this class calls for an equally precise grinder from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/eureka-kaffeemuhlen\"\u003eEureka coffee grinders\u003c\/a\u003e or the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/weber-workshops\"\u003eWeber Workshops\u003c\/a\u003e grinders; a more affordable way in is via the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/varia\"\u003eVaria Collection\u003c\/a\u003e.
