Astoria Core 200

Overview

The Astoria Core 200 is a compact two-group commercial machine designed for small cafes, kiosks, and restaurants that need commercial capability in a reduced footprint. The heat exchanger design with a 3.5-liter copper boiler provides simultaneous brewing and steaming at a lower price point than multi-boiler alternatives. PID temperature control addresses the traditional HX temperature management challenge, providing consistent brew temperature without extensive cooling flushes. The compact chassis fits on standard bar counters where full-size two-group machines are too deep. Volumetric dosing ensures consistency. The commercial steam wand handles medium-volume milk drink service. The Core 200 features a minimalist, modern design that fits contemporary cafe aesthetics. Maintenance access is excellent with tool-free panel removal for routine service. Astoria positions the Core 200 as the ideal first commercial machine for new cafe owners — affordable to acquire, reliable to operate, and backed by Astoria's extensive global service network.

The Astoria Core 200 comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a heat exchanger boiler system made of copper with a 3500 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $4,200, the Astoria Core 200 is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. As a semi-automatic machine, it gives you control over the brewing process while handling pressure and temperature automatically.

In terms of build quality, the Astoria Core 200 is a substantial machine, weighing in at 52.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 3200W of power. With dimensions of 650 x 530 x 430 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. This machine requires direct plumbing, which provides unlimited water supply but needs professional installation.
