The Rowan Nova Reverie Espresso Machine was debuted by the brand at KBIS 2026 as a professional-grade appliance that targets consumers seeking out an entry-level option that doesn't skimp on performance.
The coffee system is equipped with a 1500W heating system that's paired with the PID+NTC temperature control to have it ready for brewing in 20-seconds. The system features an integrated grinder with an automated tamping functionality to take the manual work out of espresso shot pulling. The unit also keeps maintenance in mind with a one-touch descaling functionality that performs routine maintenance in about 20-minutes.
The Rowan Nova Reverie Espresso Machine is expected to launch in Q2 of 2026 as part of a Kickstarter campaign. The system responds to the popularity of espresso-based drinks and a need for even greater levels of automation to maximize consumer compatibility.
