Rancilio cup warmer compact classe 5 10701318

What is a cup warmer

The cup warmer is a heating element located on the top of the coffee machine that keeps cups warm before the coffee is brewed. Thanks to it, hot coffee doesn't meet cold porcelain when poured, which affects its final temperature and taste as well as the quality of the crema in espresso.

Signs of wear

If the warmer is failing, the cups stay cold or heat up unevenly, or it doesn't switch on at all. There may also be a burning smell, flickering of the temperature indicator on the coffee machine, or this function may fail without an obvious cause.

When it's time for a replacement

A faulty warmer doesn't directly threaten the operation of the coffee machine, but it worsens the final quality of the drink, and in some models it may indicate a wider problem with the electrical circuit. Timely replacement prevents unnecessary wear of surrounding components.

How to choose the right part

Cup warmers vary in size and shape depending on the specific coffee machine model, so always check compatibility in the product table before purchasing.
