Astoria Greta professional portafilter machine

Astoria Greta SAE/AEP professional portafilter coffee machine

Robust professional technology in household machine format - The best for first-class espresso

The Astoria Greta's very compact dimensions and exceptionally simple operation make it the ideal coffee machine for smaller restaurants , offices, and even professional coffee lovers at home. It's ideal for anywhere where a perfect espresso is required, but sales volumes don't justify a significantly larger, multi-group coffee machine, as average coffee consumption is rather low. The very powerful 2-liter water boiler builds up a decent amount of pressure and ensures not only decent temperature stability , but also powerful steam that's comparable to a dual-boiler portafilter machine.

The Astoria Greta impresses with its truly professional, robust components . The high-quality thermosyphon brewing group is also found in the "large" Astoria machines and ensures optimal extraction of the coffee grounds through pre-infusion . During development, the goal was to achieve the most compact size possible for professional use . The result is the Astoria Greta, which consistently delivers a first-class espresso with its high quality. The high-mounted brewing group, in particular, facilitates the preparation of coffee specialties in glasses or to-go containers. A folding grid creates the perfect spacing for cups or small glasses.
