The Invicta represents the inclinations of the modern cafe: efficient, precise, and inviting. Quick-locking steam activation requires only a quarter turn to activate, and the cool-touch steam wands prevent burning. Three buttons per group allow quick activation of programmed brew cycles, with low pressure preinfusion and volumetric controls that ensure each espresso is brewed with the best possible care. The Invicta’s touchscreen interface allows users to easily navigate brewing parameters for dialing in espresso. The engine of the Invicta is what drives its ingenuity. Using only a single boiler and building on Rancilio’s Steady Brew tech, the regulated heat exchange circuit features an insulated group that maintains temperature as the thermosiphon circulates hot water when not in use. When activated, the Invicta’s programming knows exactly how to heat the group with its Smart Flush feature. A T-switch on each group allows the user to independently control temperature further.
