The Astra A-2000-1 is a commercial-grade super automatic espresso machine that handles grinding, tamping, brewing, and steam frothing in a single touch-pad operation, delivering up to 7 drink selections without requiring a trained barista. It comes equipped with dual bean hoppers so you can load two different roasts or blends, and an automatic steam wand with a self-regulating temperature sensor that shuts off the moment milk hits its target temperature. That sensor-controlled cutoff means your lattes and cappuccinos come out with consistent foam texture whether it is the morning rush or a slow afternoon.
Automatic Steam Wand with Self-Regulating Sensor
The A-2000-1's steam wand operates automatically once you select a milk-based drink. A built-in temperature sensor monitors the milk in real time and cuts steam the instant it reaches the correct frothing temperature. You do not need to stand over the wand with a thermometer or guess when to pull the pitcher away. This is a meaningful advantage over manual steam wands, where over-steamed milk can scald and under-steamed milk produces flat, lifeless foam. The result is repeatable microfoam quality from any operator on any shift.
IntelliProgram™ Smart Features
The IntelliProgram™ system manages dosing, pre-infusion, power cycling, and diagnostics from the 13-function touch pad. Programmable dosing locks your shot volumes to recipe spec, and the pre-infusion cycle saturates the puck gently before ramping to full pressure for more even extraction. The machine automatically cleans and rinses its brew mechanism every 10 minutes, keeping coffee oils and residue from building up between deep cleanings. A programmable on/off scheduler starts the machine before your first shift and powers it down at close, while management reporting and troubleshooting data are accessible directly from the panel.
The A-2000-1 runs on a quiet rotary-vane Procon pump and digital temperature control to keep boiler temps stable throughout the day. It connects to a plumbed water line (30 to 50 psi, filtered and softened) through a 1/4-inch inlet, with a 1/2-inch drain hookup. The simple, modular design makes installation and routine maintenance straightforward. Handcrafted in the USA from US-standard parts, it operates on 110V (A-2000 available in 220V) and requires a dedicated circuit. A 5-foot power cord is included.
