Epica is Rocket's dual-boiler machine built around a saturated group: the group stays in constant contact with the coffee boiler's water. The two boilers are stainless steel, 1.9 litres for coffee and 3.6 for steam and hot water, with PID-controlled temperature. The lever on the group shapes the pump pressure's rise and fall by hand.
The lever lets you shape the pump pressure's ramp up and down by hand, both before and during the main extraction: the profile is built by hand, one pull at a time, rather than called up from a preset. An integrated shot timer and a touch display go along for the ride, so you can follow the timing without an external stopwatch.
Water can be fed from an internal tank or from a fixed mains connection, depending on installation. With the lever in the vertical position the machine reaches 64.5 cm in height: it needs clearance above the counter for the lever's full travel. This is a machine for someone who wants the pump's pressure profile in hand, shot after shot, rather than a preset to recall on a screen.

Seven grams, twenty-five seconds, twenty-five millilitres: Italian espresso has a written specification, and this is it.
The same dose as an espresso, less water in the cup. No institutional source fixes its volume — so here you will only find what is documented.
25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk, in a 150–160 ml cup. The cappuccino has a specification too.
An espresso and a stain of milk. How much milk, exactly? No source declares it — and we do not invent it.
An espresso lengthened with hot water. The amount of water is set by no standard: it changes from country to country and from bar to bar.
Double espresso, sugar syrup and ice in a shaker. It has no specification: it has a house recipe.
