CMA Astoria Plus For You Futura 2 Group Commercial Coffee Machine Fully Auto This is the brand you will see in every Costa shop and for good reason. Yes the Italian style is obvious, but the quality of the drinks these machines can optimally produce and the inherent reliability built into these machines is terrific. Also, just see how heavy they are, that's due to the quality of build, simply put, quality machines simply weigh more! Lastly the serviceability, which isn't normally thought of until needed but it is something to consider. As Astoria is used around the country, service engineers are familiar with their upkeep, so that when you find you need a service, you can easily find assistance. This example is a two group unit and while used it is in very nice condition with metallic grey and gleaming chrome. Some light scratches and marks from use but not much to comment on, it does look very impressive. If you would like a video to see it up close and personal please just message and we will arrange this. Multiboiler Tech. These units have different boilers for each of the functions - three in total. Each head has its own while the hot water and steam have their own, much larger dedicated boiler. A so say 'normal' machine would have just one, but this isn’t your average machine. This means you get lots of steam and hot water - perfect for great coffee and happy customers and most importantly the hot water and steam production doesn't affect the coffee. No more running your hot water down, losing temperature and then finding you cant make any shots. The digital display shows rather more than simply the temperature and pressure. One can opt to set the display to show shot timings so you can easily refer to it making sure that your extraction is spot on. With this interface you have the option to set each head temperature individually, this means that you can optimise different coffees using different heads. Furthermore when its quiet you can you can have the option to set individual heads to switch off after a specified period of time. When required you touch a button and they quickly heat up ready for service. This is simply to save electricity which has become more and more expensive as of late. Through this system and the insulating of each of the tanks is how the potential electrical cost saving of 47.6% is quoted by the manufacturer. Perhaps we should view this like the maximum range of an electric car but I think an owner should enjoy using a third less electricity. In summary, it makes great coffee and saves you money - it's no wonder that this technology is so popular. Requires a single phase, 32amp connection, standard water connection and ideally a waste connection too (although you can have the waste hose drain into a bucket, just be mindful to empty it out!). This unit comes with an internal pump for space efficiency. This machine has been professionally prepared by an experienced engineer. Renewed and re-loved. A process which takes about three days to produce a machine of this standard. The machine will have been fully serviced, renewing consumable parts so it will be ready to perform time and time again. Whilst it has been used, we endeavour to make the machine both look and perform superbly. From the extensive pictures you can see the level of care and preparation that has been taken on this machine to refurbish and renew it to make it ready to be shown off once again. Apart from being fully serviced and checked throughout, you have the reassurance that this machine is fitted with a new certified safety valve. The best bit is that this is at a fraction of the heady price this machine would cost as new.
We have a copy of the original manual to assist with the operation supplied with the machine, to assist with programming and routine maintenance. Furthermore, the espresso machine is supplied with two months 'return-to-base' warranty for peace of mind. |

From the manufacturer.....
The new Astoria Plus4You is the latest espresso machine developed to meet the growing demands of the barista, the roaster & the environment. The first Eco-espresso machine. Power saving up to 47.6%.
Plus 4 You helps you save energy. It is the first-born of the Green Line, a line of energy saving espresso machines by Astoria, which allows you to save up to 47.6% on energy and therefore on your electrical bill. Plus 4 You only carries power when and where it is specifically required.
The dedicated innovative software manages the automatic stand-by mode during non-peak periods and at night, as well as the intelligent control of temperature settings.
Plus4You fully satisfies the barista & the roaster
Plus4You grants you maximum quality in the cup and flexibility to adjust the machine according to the coffee origin/blend. Different roast profiles require specific extraction temperatures for the best results in the cup. The water reservoirs are dedicated exclusively to coffee. You can regulate the temperature of each group independently according to the origin/blend. Temperature stability is within one degree. The steam boiler is dedicated exclusively to steam and hot water.
Plus4You intelligent system compares the extractions of every espresso. If coffee extraction is not perfect (e.g. due to incorrect grind/tamping etc.), the barista receives instant detailed information on the coffee he has just prepared. Plus4You suggests via the LCD display the appropriate corrective actions.
Plus4You - energy saver
Plus4You is the first eco-espresso machine in the Astoria Green Line range, a range of energy saving espresso machines which allows you to save up to 47.6% on your power bill as well as reducing carbon emissions.
Most espresso machines waste enormous amounts of energy during off peak periods and when left on overnight. Plus4You only carries power when and where it is specifically required, thus saving energy. The integrated PID manages the automatic stand-by mode during off peak periods and at night, as well as the intelligent control of temperature settings. Settings can be easily programmed via the arrow keys and LCD display located on the push button panel (no need to open machine). Adjusting the settings takes only seconds.
