The Rossa HC and HC-P Hand Espresso models have had a significant update with a focus on improved portability and usability, as well as making them significantly easier to self-service.
Improved Portability
The handle retaining screw assembly has been replaced with a new thumb-screw. This allows the handle to be removed quickly and easily by hand for improved portability. The unit has a smaller footprint with the handle assembly removed making it easier to pack for travel.
Improved Usability
The internal components have been significantly redesigned to minimise the time needed to make an espresso and then clean and pack up when finished. Remove the filter head and dose with ground coffee, then simply unwind the spindle, preheat the unit, fit the head and extract the shot. Clean up is just a quick rinse then towel dry ready for pack up.
Improved Self-Servicing
Previous models required special tools and a certain degree of mechanical skill to disassemble and service. While the fundamental operational design remains mostly unchanged, the internal components have been significantly redesigned to enable complete disassembly and servicing with basic tools, and with minimal effort or skill required.
The complete spindle assembly can be removed with just a Phillips head screw driver at any time for maintenance, cleaning or inspection. Just remove the handle and the 3 x retaining screws and slide the complete spindle assembly out from the bottom.
Replacing the piston seal can now be done with 2 x adjustable wrenches to split the piston via the 32mm AF hex machined into each piston half. The spindle retaining screw now has a 10mm AF hex to aid in ease of removal to access the thrust bearing assembly, and the thrust assembly now has a return washer to reduce the possibility of wear as the spindle is withdrawn, which also provides smoother operation.
For those who like to keep things in perfect condition, the components can easily be removed as often as you like for inspection, cleaning and lubrication.
The redesigned Rossa Hand Espresso models have taken an already proven design to a new level. All seals and other serviceable items can be bought and kept with your Rossa for self-servicing for decades to come. The Rossa truly is an heirloom product. It is designed and built to outlast the owner, and there is no reason why it can’t be passed on to the next generation of coffee lovers and beyond.
Compatible with Previous Models
The redesign did not overlook the possibility for compatibility of early Rossa HC and HC-P models. All previous models can be updated to the new design so everyone can take advantage of the new features.
