The Pratic Avant Xtra SAE Single-Group Commercial Espresso Machine from Astoria is designed to provide convenience and a user-friendly experience at a highly affordable price without sacrificing the features found on its larger 2 and 3 group siblings. This single-group, heat exchange machine operates automatically, allowing baristas to perform multiple tasks effortlessly and save valuable time during the drink preparation process. With the inclusion of raised groups and downlights as a standard feature, the Xtra model offers an even more seamless workflow compared to its predecessor, the Pratic Avant AEP.

Features

• Volumetric Control - Features four programmable volumetric dosing buttons, automating workflow and ensuring shot consistency. 
• Heat Exchanger - Brew water is pulled through a copper pipe that runs through the boiler, while steam is pulled directly from the boiler, allowing you to brew and steam at the same time. 
• Temperature stabilized groups- Excellent temperature stability for a more consistent extraction temperature.
• Tall Cup- Easily fits tall sized cups and a stainless steel tray for shorter cups. 
• Pre-infusion technology -  Pre-infuses the coffee cake at a lower pressure for efficient, consistent extraction.
• Hot water dispenser - Able to output lower temperature hot water for teas and americanos.
• Half-turn steam knobs- Swift and practical rotation of just 90° to turn steam on and off.
