Easy to use - User-friendly HYbrid is technology

All of the technology in the Astoria Hybrid works towards the ultimate goal: user-friendliness. HYbrid is a classic portafilter espresso machine with the greater ease of use of a fully automatic coffee machine. A machine for use with high coffee consumption and (often) changing staff, but which guarantees excellent coffee quality. The Astoria HYbrid works traditionally with a portafilter, giving the customer the familiar feeling associated with preparing a good espresso and ensuring excellent results even with inexperienced baristas.

Astoria HYbrid – integrated precision espresso grinders

In the HYbrid, a cooled precision espresso grinder with 64 mm steel discs works for each brewing group. As with the external grinders, the grinding level can be perfectly adjusted to the coffee used. An automatic dosing system always ensures the same pre-programmed amount, which is ground directly into the inserted and locked portafilter.

Astoria HYbrid – brewing group with automatic tamper

In addition to the correct grinding level and the optimal amount, the correct compaction of the ground coffee in the portafilter is an important step on the way to a really good espresso. Most mistakes in coffee preparation happen in the compaction phase. Not so with the hybrid. The brewing unit has an automatic tamper that compacts the ground coffee absolutely flat in the portafilter with around 20 kg of pressure. This allows the hot water to release all the desired aromas from the ground coffee in the intended brewing time. The result speaks for itself. A perfectly brewed espresso, with a beautiful, thick crema and a full-bodied taste.

Astoria HYbrid – innovative portafilter

The innovative portafilters are completely redesigned and are not screwed in as usual, but simply pushed into the front insert and automatically locked.

The portafilter holders have a sensor that detects whether a single or double dose is required. This means that the appropriate amount of freshly ground coffee is always dispensed into the portafilter. This makes them very simple and easy to use for everyone. At the same time, inserting the portafilter is a signal to the customer that the preparation quality is high. The portafilters are briefly tapped out after use, wiped dry once and inserted back into the machine for the next coffee speciality. The portafilters therefore always remain in the machine and always maintain the optimal operating temperature - especially when working at different intensities.

Astoria Hybrid – Perfect milk foam

Perfectly prepared coffee specialties at the touch of a button. The High Performance Frother works with a milk pump, an air pump and a special emulsion system to dispense cold, warm or foamed milk directly into the cup. Multiple layers of milk foam, temperature and foam consistency can be easily programmed for each drink. If a larger amount of milk foam is required, the autosteam nozzle can be used to prepare the milk fully automatically in a jug - latte art or a small cup of milk foam for young guests can be prepared perfectly and quickly.

multiboiler technology

The multi-boiler technology has now become established in the professional sector. There is a separate boiler for each brewing group and for steam production. This ensures great temperature stability, high cup performance and consistent results in the cup. Prerequisites for making every cup a complete pleasure.

Space & Design - Efficient working environment for your staff

All of the HYbrid's innovations are housed in a compact machine body, which leaves more space on the counter and creates a practical and efficient working environment. Fewer movements and changes of position allow the operator to work in a relaxed and time-saving manner.

A modern design, with removable portafilter and the Italian style of traditional espresso coffee machines. Integrated and cooled coffee bean containers and the large touchscreen displays are part of the clear design and are always in dialogue with the user and the customer's expectations of a good coffee from a portafilter espresso machine.

Conclusion

With the Astoria HYbrid, anyone, even without experience, can operate the portafilter espresso machine at the touch of a button. Only inserting and knocking out the portafilter holder is still manual. The intelligent machine takes care of the rest: grinding beans, compacting coffee grounds, brewing coffee and preparing milk foam - all directly into the cup and in the best barista quality.

It can be used anywhere where consistently good coffee is a priority, a high hourly output is required and frequently changing operating personnel with little or no experience are employed. For example, in bakeries, kiosks, large offices, but also in chain restaurants or coffee bars with a high proportion of take-out and high output peaks.

Programmable for each drink:

• The amount of coffee
• The compression in the portafilter
• The brewing temperature
• The infusion phases
• The total amount of water
