Rancilio Speciality Invicta Ultimate High-Volume Espresso Machine

Elevating the Espresso Ritual with Seamless Control and Stability.

The Rancilio Speciality Invicta represents a significant leap forward for single-boiler technology, offering high-volume venues the precision of a multi-boiler system without the added complexity. Central to its performance is the patented Steady Brew (SB) technology, which ensures unmatched thermal stability by regulating the hydraulic circuit even during the most demanding peak periods. Combined with the T-Switch—allowing for independent temperature settings per group—and advanced pre- and post-infusion control via a 4.3” touchscreen, the Invicta empowers baristas to extract the full potential of diverse coffee profiles with absolute consistency.

Beyond its internal engineering, the Invicta is designed to enhance the daily operation of premium hospitality environments. Its low-profile silhouette is specifically crafted to remove barriers between the barista and the customer, fostering better interaction and engagement. Every touchpoint is prioritised for efficiency, from the cool-touch steam wands with a two-position purge function to the Smart Flush system that keeps groups at the ideal temperature. By merging industrial-grade reliability with an intuitive digital interface, the Invicta serves as a versatile, high-performance centrepiece for any specialty coffee program.

Features

Steady Brew (SB) Technology: By keeping the water temperature stable during extraction, Steady Brew guarantees excellent thermal stability, reliability, and maximum repeatability, both during peak rushes and low-usage conditions.

Advanced Infusion Control: Baristas can vary the water pressure in both the initial stage (pre-infusion) and final stage (post-infusion), choosing between mains or pump pressure, while adjusting the duration of every stage to unlock complex flavour profiles.

The T-Switch: This innovative 4-position selector allows technicians to set individual temperatures (approx. 90°C, 93°C, 96°C, or 99°C) for each group head. This modularity allows you to run different coffee profiles simultaneously on a single machine.

4.3” Touchscreen Interface: Offers quick access to all settings via two interface modes: "Easy" for daily service and "Tech" for expert customisation. It features dedicated menus for baristas, managers, and technicians.

Smart Flush: To maintain the perfect group head temperature, an automatic flush can be enabled to trigger after a set interval from the last shot, further improving thermal consistency.

Innovative Steam Control: Equipped with a two-position knob; a quick turn to the right activates the automatic "Purge" function for effortless hygiene and workflow.

iSteam Pro (Optional): An automatic steam wand perfect for all milk types, including plant-based alternatives. It allows for up to 10 customised recipes, activated with a simple tap on the touchscreen.

Electronic Cup Warmer (Optional): Ensure your service is always at the right temperature with five adjustable heat levels, managed directly through the digital interface.

Specification for Rancilio Speciality Invicta

Rancilio Speciality: Invicta vs. RS1

Mastering the Morning Rush or Perfecting the Single Origin.

1. The Invicta: The High-Volume Workhorse

The Invicta is a single-boiler machine that uses Rancilio’s patented Steady Brew (SB) technology. It is designed for cafes where speed and consistency are the top priorities.

• Technology: It uses a large single boiler with a regulated heat exchanger circuit. This ensures that even during a back-to-back rush of 100+ lattes, your brew temperature stays locked in.

• Temperature Control: It features the T-Switch, which allows a technician to set each group head to a different fixed temperature (e.g., 93°C for your house blend and 96°C for a dark roast).

• Best For: High-traffic coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants where you need "set-and-forget" reliability and rapid milk steaming.

2. The RS1: The Specialty Lab

The RS1 is a multi-boiler powerhouse. It is designed for specialty coffee roasters and baristas who want to "play" with the water temperature to bring out specific notes in a coffee bean.

• Technology: It features a large steam boiler plus independent micro-boilers for every single group head. Each group can be set to a precise temperature directly from the touchscreen.

• Advanced Temperature Profiling: This is the RS1's secret weapon. You can actually program the temperature to change during the shot (e.g., starting hot to kickstart extraction and dropping 2 degrees at the end to prevent bitterness).

• Best For: Specialty coffee bars, roasteries, and venues serving multiple single-origin coffees that require unique brewing parameters.

Which one should you choose?

• Choose the Invicta if you want a machine that is easier for your staff to operate, requires less "fiddling" between shots, and is more budget-friendly while still delivering world-class thermal stability.

• Choose the RS1 if your brand is built on "Specialty Coffee," you frequently change your bean offerings, and you want the absolute highest level of control over every millilitre of water that hits the puck.

About Rancilio Group

Rancilio Group is a world leader in the professional espresso machine industry, celebrated for blending deep-rooted Italian tradition with cutting-edge technological innovation. Founded by Roberto Rancilio in 1927 in Parabiago, near Milan, the company began its journey with the "Regina"—a vertical boiler machine that captured the elegant Belle Époque style of the era. Over the nearly 100 years since, the brand has remained a pioneer, introducing the first horizontal boiler (the Invicta Horizontal) in the 1950s and collaborating with world-renowned designers like Marco Zanuso to create machines that are as much works of art as they are engineering feats.

Today, Rancilio Group is a powerhouse under the Ali Group umbrella (acquired in 2013), one of the largest foodservice equipment organizations globally. The group manages four distinct brands to serve every corner of the coffee world: Rancilio (traditional espresso machines), Egro (Swiss-engineered fully automatic machines), Rancilio Specialty (high-end machines for the specialty coffee movement), and Promac. With its headquarters still in Parabiago, Italy, the company operates across 115 countries, supported by seven international branches and two dedicated R&D centres. Their "Green Attitude" sustainability initiative underscores their modern mission, using photovoltaic energy and focusing on 100% recyclable materials to ensure the future of coffee is as pure as the espresso in the cup.
