Plus 4 You Saving: Astoria believes in energy saving and our research in the past few years has focused itself towards a product with low environmental impact: the problem of energy consumption does not only bear heavily on the single consumer who pays a large energy bill at the end of each month, but it involves a responsibility for each and all of us due to the global situation which sees our energy supplies dwindling and the price to pay increasing daily.

Also the barista, shop and restaurant owner can now choose equipment and appliances with a low energy impact: in this streamline (don't understand this) was born the Plus 4 You, a machine which saves energy, and therefore money, between 30% and 47,6%.

Plus 4 You Quality: The correct volume of espresso is approximately 25 ml of liquid which contain the essence of about 50 roasted and ground quality beans, corresponding to approximately 7 grams. Hence, about 25 ml of water, at a constant and controlled temperature, will pass through the cake of compressed coffee powder in about 25 seconds, driven by a pressure of about 9 Atm. This will result in a perfect espresso.

How Plus 4 You helps you make a perfect espresso:
1. Absolute stability of the settings in any operating condition, even during peak hours
2. Extremely precise temperature regulation, with a thermic stability of max. 1°C, which allows the constant repetition of the quality in the cup
3. A system of auto diagnostics of errors and faults suggests to the barista how to improve the extraction and obtain the perfect cup.
4. The Plus 4 You has an adjustable steam temperature that can be set from 0.9 bar to 1.4 bar. A real benefit depending how powerful you want the steam pressure and is easily adjustable in the digital display.
5. Separate and adjustable temperatures for group head and water reservoir allow you to fine tune the machine for extraction +/- 0.5 degree, and allows for environmental factors ambient room temperature for example.

Plus 4 You Flexibility: 1 boiler for steam + water reservoirs for espresso.
Steam requires a different temperature from that of the water to brew coffee. In a traditional espresso machine it is difficult to separate the two aspects and a compromise is sought which could impair the quality of the coffee.

Plus 4 You Ethical Values: Astoria has decided to give additional value to the Plus 4 You by supporting the children of South America in collaboration with a non-profit organization such as “Coffee Kids”. After an initial donation towards this fund; it will continue to contribute 2% of the profits made on the sale of this line of equipment in the first three years of its launch.
