Founded in 1969 in Susegana, Italy, Astoria has built a reputation for producing machines that combine durability with precision - and the Pratic Avant Xtra SAE carries that legacy forward. Its semi-automatic, auto-volumetric design lets baristas pull consistent, repeatable shots without constant monitoring, freeing them to focus on speed and customer engagement during peak service hours.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nPowered by a heat exchanger boiler system, this machine allows simultaneous brewing and steaming, dramatically improving workflow during high-volume service. Raised group heads accommodate taller cups and pitchers, while the turn-style steam knobs give baristas intuitive, hands-on control. Whether you're running a single-counter café or a high-throughput espresso bar, the Pratic Avant Xtra SAE is engineered to keep up - shift after shift.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Exchanger Boiler:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brew water passes through a copper pipe running through the boiler, allowing simultaneous brewing and steaming without sacrificing temperature stability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 Programmable Volumetric Dosing Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e Set and repeat precise shot volumes on each group head for faster, more consistent service across your entire team.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermosiphon Temperature Stabilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maintains stable group head temperature for optimal, repeatable shot quality throughout the day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRaised Group Heads:\u003c\/strong\u003e Accommodates taller cups and pitchers, adding flexibility to your workflow and reducing awkward repositioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic Backflush:\u003c\/strong\u003e The machine automatically performs a backflush each night, simplifying daily cleaning and maintenance routines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurn-Style Steam Knobs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intuitive steam valve design provides smooth, responsive control for precise milk texturing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarista Downlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in lighting illuminates the group head area, improving visibility and presentation at the bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHot Water Dispenser:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated hot water tap for Americanos, teas, and pre-warming cups without interrupting espresso workflow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eETL \u0026amp; NSF Certified:\u003c\/strong\u003e Meets commercial safety and sanitation standards required for professional food service environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable in 2 or 3 Group \/ Black or White:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose the group size that fits your volume needs and the finish that matches your bar aesthetic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSize Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2 Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e With a 9L steam boiler, 30.5\" length, 4800W, and 159 lbs, the 2-group is ideal for small to mid-size cafes, specialty coffee shops, or any operation pulling up to several hundred drinks per day.

The Astoria Pratic Avant Xtra SAE requires a dedicated 220V power outlet and a proper water supply line. Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure safe operation, protect your warranty, and get the machine dialed in correctly from day one. A water filtration system and possibly a pressure regulator are also recommended depending on your local water conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does the 12-month parts warranty cover?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe included 1-year commercial parts-only warranty covers replacement parts determined to be defective in materials or workmanship. Labor, on-site service, shipping, and installation costs are not included.

If you are running a high-volume operation with multiple baristas working simultaneously, the 3-group is the better choice.
