Astoria Espresso Machine

Astoria espresso machines are built for professional cafe environments where consistency, durability, and Italian craftsmanship matter. Founded in 1969 in Susegana, Italy, Astoria has spent decades engineering machines that deliver precise temperature control and reliable group-head performance across full-day commercial service. Pro Coffee Gear is an authorized Astoria espresso machine dealer carrying the full lineup, with new and renewed units available. Every purchase ships free, and our team offers free expert consultation to help you choose the right model for your volume, boiler preference, and café setup. Visit our Austin showroom to see Astoria machines in person.

Astoria's lineup spans entry commercial to high-volume multi-group machines. The right model comes down to three factors: daily shot volume, boiler configuration preference, and group count.

Boiler type. Astoria offers both heat-exchanger and dual-boiler configurations. Heat-exchanger models are well suited to smaller cafes or operations where one skilled barista is managing the bar. Dual-boiler models offer independent temperature control for brew and steam, which improves shot-to-shot consistency and is preferred by specialty coffee operations.

Group count. A 1-group commercial machine suits a cafe pulling up to 80 to 100 drinks per day with a single barista. A 2-group commercial machine is the standard starting point for most commercial cafe operations, offering the throughput and redundancy to handle a morning rush.

Workflow features. Higher-tier Astoria models include pre-infusion, programmable volumetric dosing, and individual group temperature control. These features reduce barista error and improve extraction consistency across an entire service.

For the best results, pair your Astoria machine with a commercial espresso grinder matched to your daily output. Our team can walk you through the full Astoria range during a free consultation, in person at our Austin showroom or by phone.

Are Astoria espresso machines suitable for a small cafe?

Yes. Astoria's 1-group and 2-group commercial machines are well suited to small and specialty cafes. Their heat-exchanger models offer a reliable, cost-effective option for lower-volume operations, while dual-boiler configurations support specialty coffee workflows that demand tighter temperature control and consistent extraction across back-to-back shots.

How do I maintain an Astoria espresso machine?

Daily maintenance includes backflushing the group heads, purging and wiping the steam wands, and emptying the drip tray. Weekly, clean the portafilter baskets and group head seals. Astoria recommends periodic descaling and group head gasket replacement based on usage volume. Our team can advise on a maintenance schedule for your specific model.

Can I buy an Astoria espresso machine on a financing plan?

Yes. Pro Coffee Gear offers flexible financing on Astoria commercial espresso machines, making it easier to invest in professional-grade equipment without paying the full cost upfront. This is particularly useful for new cafes managing initial setup costs alongside other equipment purchases.

Where can I see Astoria espresso machines before buying?

Pro Coffee Gear's Austin showroom carries Astoria machines for in-person viewing and demonstration. If you are outside Austin, our team is available for free consultations by phone to walk through model options, specifications, and pricing before you commit to a purchase.
