Created using the most advanced 3D animation techniques, the new videos presented by Rancilio Group are rich in content and easy to use, with images that recount all the available extraction systems available with professional Rancilio and Rancilio Specialty coffee machines. The two videos were produced by Carles González, Coffee Competence & Product Manager at Rancilio Group, who coordinated the work of the Extraction Lab team. For each technology, 3D animation and graphics were used to reconstruct the internal mechanics and present the technology of the multi- and single-boiler machines , describing the hydraulic circuits and simulating water flow and its interaction with the ground coffee.

‘Showing the operation of our technology while speaking about its advantages and effects on the final product dispensed into the cup allowed us to create different levels of information for the videos to reach a diverse audience,’ says Carles González. ‘These videos will become an integral part of our advanced training courses, both for internal personnel and authorized technicians in our network. But they are also designed for baristas and any worker in the sector that wants to find out more about the innovative value of our products,’ says Carles González .

The first video presents the Steady Brew (SB) system, which is installed on all single-boiler machines from Classe 5 to Classe 20 and Invicta. In addition, it describes T-Switch adjustments to manually set different temperatures for each group, as well as Pre-infusion and Post-infusion, which, among single-boiler machines, are available only on the Rancilio Specialty Invicta.

The second video details the operation and advantages of the technologies installed on all multi-boiler coffee machines. After explaining the Advanced Steady Brew (ASB) multi-boiler hydraulic circuit, the video focuses on Xcelsius (XTP) and Advanced Temperature Profiling (ATP) , as well as the differences between the two systems, which are installed on the Rancilio Classe 11 and Rancilio Specialty RS1, respectively.

‘The objective was to show how we transferred to our machines the results of scientific and sensory investigations on the effects of temperature profiling when preparing an espresso,’ continues Carles González.

In addition to continuing the description of Pre-infusion and Post-infusion (available only on the RS1 among multi-boiler machines), the video closes with a focus on the combined action of the most advanced technologies—all available on the RS1—and how they can become powerful tools for the best extraction of each type of coffee.

Both videos close with an overview and comparison of the different systems and the technologies used in professional Rancilio and Rancilio Specialty coffee machines.

‘Comparing our technologies, we had fun drawing on language that is now very common across the Internet. We want to provide viewers with the clearest possible summary of both the innovative power of our research and the richness of our product range,’ Carles González concludes .
