Barista Attitude Commercial Espresso Machines

The Barista Attitude Collection: Precision, Heritage, and Performance

Step into the future of specialty coffee with the Barista Attitude collection. Born from the legendary CMA Astoria Group—an Italian powerhouse that has been at the forefront of espresso engineering since 1969—Barista Attitude represents a new chapter of innovation. While Astoria has decades of history as the world’s largest single espresso machine factory, the Barista Attitude line was created specifically to push the boundaries of the specialty coffee sector.

These machines are more than just equipment; they are the result of a "barista-centric" design philosophy that combines industrial reliability with a deep respect for the craft.

Two Icons, One Vision
Within this collection, we offer two distinct pathways to excellence, each tailored to different operational needs:

The Tempesta: The Virtuoso’s Instrument
The Tempesta is the flagship of the range and the official machine of the World Barista Championship through 2025. It is a multi-boiler powerhouse designed for the most demanding specialty environments.

Total Control: Features independent boilers for each group, allowing for individual temperature precision and sophisticated pressure profiling (FRC).

Live Feedback: Equipped with 5-inch touchscreens that provide real-time graphs of pressure and flow rate, allowing baristas to perfect and replicate complex recipes.

Championship Grade: Built for those who view espresso as an art form, offering the ultimate thermal stability and experimental flexibility.

The Pilot: Streamlined Excellence
The Pilot is the collection’s first high-performance single-boiler machine, designed for high-volume environments and shops where efficiency is paramount.

Simplicity & Speed: It shares the same DNA and "Cool Touch" ergonomics as the Tempesta but simplifies the interior mechanics. It is the perfect "entry-to-specialty" machine.

Reliable Consistency: Utilizing a highly stable heat-exchanger system and the "Super Dry" steam system, the Pilot ensures that even in busy shops without highly specialized staff, the quality in the cup remains world-class.

Ergonomic Efficiency: Designed with a lower profile to encourage interaction between the barista and the customer, removing the "wall" typical of larger machines.

Why Barista Attitude?
Whether you choose the competition-level Tempesta or the user-friendly Pilot, you are investing in the Storm family legacy. Every machine features:

Safety First: Cantilevered, anti-scald "Cool Touch" steam wands.

Eco-Friendly Engineering: Intelligent energy-saving modes that reduce consumption by up to 47%.

Artisanal Aesthetics: A striking blend of stainless steel, aluminum, and oak accents that turn your coffee bar into a stage.
