Astoria Forma SAE 1 Group – Compact Volumetric Espresso Machine

Astoria Forma SAE 1 Group: small footprint, full features

The Astoria Forma SAE 1 group is a single-head commercial machine with clean lines and a generous work surface. It runs on a 15 A single-phase supply, which makes installation easy in cafés, kiosks and offices. The raised group takes cups up to 16 oz. Standard finishes are black or white with stainless steel.

Day-to-day features

Four programmable doses on the touchpad, with manual override, keep shots consistent. A thermosiphon group circuit steadies temperature, and the 6 L boiler refills itself. LED lights illuminate the work area and an automatic backflush function makes closing time quicker. The pump is mounted inside the machine, so there is no separate motor under the bench.
