Astoria Pratic Avant Xtra SAE Espresso Machine
Description
The Astoria Pratic Avant Xtra SAE brings Italian espresso craftsmanship together with modern commercial efficiency, making it an ideal centerpiece for any café, restaurant, or bar. 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.
Powered 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.
Key Features
- Heat Exchanger Boiler: Brew water passes through a copper pipe running through the boiler, allowing simultaneous brewing and steaming without sacrificing temperature stability.
- 4 Programmable Volumetric Dosing Buttons: Set and repeat precise shot volumes on each group head for faster, more consistent service across your entire team.
- Thermosiphon Temperature Stabilization: Maintains stable group head temperature for optimal, repeatable shot quality throughout the day.
- Raised Group Heads: Accommodates taller cups and pitchers, adding flexibility to your workflow and reducing awkward repositioning.
- Automatic Backflush: The machine automatically performs a backflush each night, simplifying daily cleaning and maintenance routines.
- Turn-Style Steam Knobs: Intuitive steam valve design provides smooth, responsive control for precise milk texturing.
- Barista Downlights: Built-in lighting illuminates the group head area, improving visibility and presentation at the bar.
- Hot Water Dispenser: Integrated hot water tap for Americanos, teas, and pre-warming cups without interrupting espresso workflow.
- ETL & NSF Certified: Meets commercial safety and sanitation standards required for professional food service environments.
- Available in 2 or 3 Group / Black or White: Choose the group size that fits your volume needs and the finish that matches your bar aesthetic.
Size Options & Which to Choose
- 2 Group: 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. It fits comfortably on most bar counters and is easier to manage with a smaller team.
- 3 Group: Featuring a 14.7L steam boiler, 40" length, 5350W, and 194 lbs, the 3-group is built for high-volume environments - busy restaurants, hotel lobbies, event venues, or multi-barista setups where throughput and simultaneous shot-pulling are critical.

FAQ
What is a heat exchanger boiler and why does it matter?
A heat exchanger (HX) boiler uses a single large boiler for steam and hot water, with brew water passing through a copper pipe inside it. This means the machine is always ready to brew and steam simultaneously - no waiting for a separate brew boiler to recover. For a busy commercial bar, this dramatically improves speed and workflow efficiency compared to a single-boiler machine.
Does this machine require professional installation?
Yes. 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.
What does the 12-month parts warranty cover?
The 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. The warranty applies only when the machine has been properly installed and operated within manufacturer guidelines using properly treated water. Consumable components such as gaskets, seals, and shower screens are not covered.
How many drinks can this machine handle per day?
The 2-group configuration is well-suited for small to mid-volume operations, typically handling several hundred drinks per day comfortably. The 3-group model is designed for high-throughput environments where multiple baristas are pulling shots simultaneously and volume demands are higher. Your actual capacity will also depend on grinder speed, barista workflow, and drink complexity.
What is the difference between the 2 Group and 3 Group models?
The primary differences are output capacity, boiler size, physical footprint, power draw, and weight. The 3-group has a larger 14.7L boiler (vs. 9L), draws more power (5350W vs. 4800W), is longer (40" vs. 30.5"), and weighs more (194 lbs vs. 159 lbs). If you are running a high-volume operation with multiple baristas working simultaneously, the 3-group is the better choice. For a single-barista setup or lower-volume service, the 2-group is more efficient and compact.
Is this machine suitable for a new coffee shop just opening?
Absolutely. The Pratic Avant Xtra SAE is an excellent choice for new commercial coffee programs thanks to its intuitive volumetric programming, automatic backflush, and consistent performance. The included Lifetime Pro Support means you have expert guidance available as you build out your espresso program, troubleshoot any questions, and scale up your operations over time.
