Astoria Tempesta SAEP

Overview

The Astoria Tempesta SAEP is the brand's flagship three-group commercial machine, designed for high-volume specialty cafes demanding consistent quality at scale. The Tempesta introduces Astoria's advanced multi-boiler temperature management with independent PID-controlled brew boilers per group and a 9-liter steam boiler that provides virtually unlimited steam power. Programmable pressure profiling per group is a flagship feature, enabling baristas to save extraction curves optimized for specific coffees. The machine features a connected touchscreen display for recipe management, production tracking, and maintenance scheduling. Telemetry connectivity allows roasters and distributors to monitor machine performance remotely. Energy efficiency improvements reduce consumption by up to 25% compared to previous generation models. The Tempesta's imposing design with customizable side panels makes it a cafe centerpiece. Astoria's manufacturing scale — producing thousands of commercial machines annually — translates into competitive pricing for a machine with flagship specifications. The Tempesta serves cafes that need three-group capacity without the premium pricing of boutique manufacturers.

The Astoria Tempesta SAEP comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction, pressure profiling for advanced shot manipulation. It features a dual boiler boiler system made of copper with a 600 ml capacity. The rotary pump delivers 9.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $14,000, the Astoria Tempesta SAEP 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 Tempesta SAEP is a substantial machine, weighing in at 95.0 kg, manufactured in Italy, drawing 6200W of power. With dimensions of 1060 x 600 x 560 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.
