The Astra Pro semi-automatic espresso machine is a single boiler HX machine designed a bit differently than others in its class. First off, the Astra Pro features a large 2.6 liter stainless steel boiler. Compare that to machines similarly priced. The Astra Pro is made with the same brewing mechanism and thermal circulation as the larger Astra machines, however, the Astra Pro utilizes a vibe pump instead of a rotary pump. Astra Pro is quality constructed with a stainless steel body and frame, commercial brew group, 1300 watt heating element, stainless valves and copper piping.

Steaming and Brewing:

With Astra Pro’s 2.6 liter boiler and 1,300 watt heating element, you’ll have an abundant source of steam. The steam knob operates smoothly, simply turn the knob. Like all semi-automatics, brewing starts with a flip of a switch and stops when you turn the switch off. The Astra brewing system features thermal circulation and infusion. It maintains very good temperature stability and produces unbelievably good espresso with amazing consistency.

Tamping:

All Astra espresso machines feature a self-tamping brewing mechanism. This means, it is not necessary for you to tamp. The machine will do this for you.

Pods:

All Astra machines operate with ground coffee and/or pods interchangeably. The Astra comes equipped to use ground coffee, however, no additional accessories are needed to use pods. The single filter basket works best for pods.

Astra Pro Safety Features:

ETL Listed to NSF-4, UL 197 and CSA C22.2 No. 109.
Astra places no electrical components beneath the drip tray. This helps avoid electrical hazard and costly future repairs.
All models house an internal oversized power breaker for added safety.
All models also feature an automatic shut off if water does not reach the machine.
When the Astra Pro is turned “ON”, the heating element will not engage unless there is enough water in the boiler.

Warranty/ Maintenance:

The American manufacturer, Astra, provides a 2 year limited warranty on all major components, exclusive of wear and tear items. For components found defective, they provide a 1 year warranty on labor. Like most manufacturers, Astra will not cover costs associated with damage caused by water, neglect in cleaning or faulty electrical connections.

The Astra Pro semi-automatic espresso machine ships with a single and double filter basket, a blank filter basket for backflushing, an instruction manual and a warranty card. When purchased at Better Espresso, the Astra Pro also comes with free shipping. If you have any questions about the Astra Pro, please don't hesitate to contact us.
