The Company
Astoria has manufactured espresso machines in Italy since 1969, combining traditional Italian espresso heritage with durable, commercial-grade engineering trusted globally in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality environments.
The Product
This is the same Tanya 2 Group, with its boiler converted to run on LPG gas instead of drawing its heating load from mains electricity. The electrical requirement drops to essentials only — the water pump and controls, around 500W — while the gas boiler handles heat recovery, meaning you get the same thermosyphon-driven brewing stability without needing a full electrical supply to the site. In real terms, that's the difference between a two-group commercial machine you can run in a trailer off a small inverter or generator, versus one that needs a proper three-phase or high-amperage connection you may not have.
If there's no plumbed water line where the machine is going — a market stall, an event site, a trailer with a bottled water setup — a Bottled Water Pump handles feeding the boiler at the pressure it needs. We don't recommend relying on the machine's own internal pump to pull water from bottles below the counter; it's simply not built for that draw and you risk burning out the motor.
Where the grid can't reach, gas keeps the espresso coming — built for mobile setups and off-grid sites.
Who It's Built For
Built for mobile coffee trailers, festivals and events, rural lodges, farm stalls, and markets where mains power either isn't available or isn't reliable enough to run a full commercial boiler. It's also a genuine load-shedding hedge for a fixed café that can't afford to close every time the power drops — gas keeps the boiler hot regardless of what the grid is doing.
It suits an operator who's already thinking about water logistics too — plumbed sites are straightforward, but off-grid locations need the bottled water pump sorted from day one, not worked out after the machine's already on site.
