What Makes Rio Espresso Machines Unique?

• Longevity and Durability. RIO's components are continually upgraded but remain compatible from year to year, making part replacement more economical than replacing the entire machine.
  
  
• Submerged and Removable Heat Exchanger. Keeping the brewing water at a more stable temperature, this also prevents direct contact between the exchanger and the hottest part of the boiler and can be easily removed for repair or replacement.
  
  
• High Quality Brass Group. Espresso quality is increased when water temperature is stabilized on its way to the coffee.
  
  
• State of the Art Electronics. High-end Italian craftsmanship is reflected in the higher quality electronics. These better materials offer more consistency in all functions, resulting in fewer machine problems and decreased overall service costs.
  
  
• Automatic Water Fill Sight Glass. Boiler water is automatically kept at optimal volume through a regular influx of water, and can be viewed through a sight glass. This prevents the very costly problem of a boiler running dry, keeping recovery time down so coffee can be served without interruption.
  
  
• Quick-open Rotating Steam Wands. Because they are easy to use and maneuver with any size pitcher, these wands reduce physical strain and increase barista comfort and satisfaction.
  
  
• Stainless Steel Steam Wands. As stainless steel doesn't break, bend, corrode, or flake, RIO's wands are extremely durable and last a very long time.
  
  
• Removable Body Panels and Interchangeable Parts. Internal components of the RIO are accessible through easy to remove body panels. This allows for quick fixes and less downtime for the machine.
  
  
• Rugged Design. RIO machines are very durable and appealing with their rugged frame.
  
  
• Anti-siphon Valve. Preventing milk from being sucked into the boiler when a vacuum occurs, the valve avoids the unsavory and expensive process of removing and cleaning the boilers.
  
  
• Tall Legs. Ensures counter can be kept clean underneath machine, these save time and awkward maneuvering. Clean counters are not only appreciated by health inspectors, they are a confidence-builder for customers, too.
  
  
• NSF, UL, ETL Approvals. Health department regulations and standards are already met so machine is ready for operation at time of installation. This saves you significant time during the inspection process.
