Mythos A2 Espresso Machine Gas Converted

The Company

Mythos is a South African bean-to-cup and espresso brand built specifically to address problems the industry here actually has — not a European machine adapted after the fact for local conditions, but equipment designed around South African homes and businesses from the ground up.

The Product

This is the A2 with a factory-fitted gas heating kit built in — not an aftermarket conversion, but dual-fuel capability designed in from the start, letting you switch between gas and electricity depending on what's available on any given day. That flexibility means load shedding doesn't have to mean closed doors: when the grid goes down, the boiler keeps running on gas, with only the electronic components drawing power.

Everything that makes the standard A2 dependable carries over — thermo-compensated group heads, programmable touch pads, tall cup clearance, dual steam wands, and a 10.5L boiler with enough reserve for sustained service. The difference is entirely in where the heat comes from, which makes this the practical choice for any café, restaurant, or mobile setup that can't guarantee consistent mains power.

Switch fuel sources, not machines — the A2 Gas keeps commercial-grade espresso running whether the grid is up or down.

Who It's Built For

For café and restaurant owners in areas affected by load shedding, or mobile coffee operators setting up in locations without reliable mains power — anyone who needs the flexibility to run on gas or electricity depending on the day, without accepting a lesser machine as the tradeoff.

If you're setting up somewhere without a plumbed water connection too, factor in a Bottled Water Pump — we'll flag that at quote stage so installation goes smoothly on day one.

Specifications

Summary

The A2 Gas Converted keeps your service running whether the grid is up or down — the same commercial-grade performance as the standard A2, with the dual-fuel flexibility that load shedding makes genuinely necessary.
