Everyday, for more than two
centuries, coffee has been landing
in the heart of Europe, in Trieste,
a city suspended in time and space,
a natural hub between East and West,
a meeting point of intercontinental
maritime routes and the AdriaticBaltic and Mediterranean corridors.
Trieste boasts a history of landings
and trades permitted by its free
port status awarded to it back in
the eighteenth century. Trieste
is coffee culture. Trieste is a
multitude of daily rites and myths.
Inspiration, style and love for
anything good start here.

The Old Port of Trieste, built in the second half
of the nineteenth century is a splendid specimen
of industrial and commerce archeology. It bears
witness to a city indebted to its Habsburg past,
yet culturally projected towards the future, and
endows the major shipping companies with
oceanic routes to and from China, India and the
rest of the Far East.

The Storm coffee machine is search of values that were
believed to have been lost to passing time, but were
brought back to life thanks to a new cultural and
craftsmanship approach that, in a short while, has
propagated across the world.
Delivered coffee is at the center of every concern. The
baristas’ gestures are the protagonist of the scene and
have highly symbolic value. The relationship between
who operates the coffee machine and who enjoys a cup of
coffee is revolutionized: the barista who, with almost
maniacal dedication, has chosen the grains, as well as
the roasting and brewing steps can offer rituals of
preparation and narration. Indeed, the Storm model is
an easy to recognize machine with strong personality,
raised on its feet but among the lowest in the category
and to be placed on the counter to engender a frontline bartender-client relationship.

The Storm coffee machine is
a mix of craftsmanship and cuttingedge technology. With it, a barista
is free to express himself/herself
and his/her own experimentation
skills through simple and comfortable
actions. Storm has taken into account
the barista’s movement requirements
and his/her need to operate the
leverages to adjust coffee according
to targeted taste and conception.
The analog functions that enhance
the customized brewing curves are
also accompanied by digital storage
functions of settings.
Storm’s refined design is the result
of a cooperation that Astoria has
Storm
maintained for years with Adriano
Design, a Turin based studio, which
is one of the most important and
renowned design studios in Italy,
honored with the most prestigious
national and international
prizes such as the Compasso d’Oro
international award.
The fully innovative suspended basin
features a formal tray which supports
the cup during brewing. Indeed, the
cup is no longer hidden from the
machine, but rests on a plate, as
if it were a prima donna on stage.
This design also produces practical
effects because the basin, with its
rounded lines, is easy to clean.

In Storm, the basin
adjustment lets the barista

made. Routine cleaning
operations are also more

the rounded shape, whereas

the basin.

The Barista Attitude anti-scald and
cantilevered steam wand offers great
safety and easy return movement to the
basin, in case of inactivity. Super
Dry is the innovative system that
keeps the steam dry and with minimum
initial condensation, guaranteed
by a solenoid valve placed in the
discharge. A reduced quantity of
humid steam is discharged at 110°C in
order to guarantee the presence of dry
steam ready for use The new Super Dry
system guarantees continuous steam
use without decreasing performance,
even when two steam wands are used
simultaneously.

The loading and unloading hoses and
feed inputs are connected within a

raised machines.
The structure also includes two

In the FRC version, the brewing curve is handled
through a manual drive paddle placed next to the group,
controlled by the barista.
All brewing peculiarities are at the barista’s
discretion; Storm allows customizing each cup according
to his/her needs.
It is possible to set the display curve by relying
on five parameters; changing one or more parameters
can change the organoleptic features of the coffee
being prepared. The brewing curve can be independently
programmed, both between groups and with each cup.
1. Quantity of water in pre-infusion: by entering a
value from 1 to 6, a different amount of water will be
released during pre-infusion.
2. Pre-infusion time: the pre-infusion time can be
set from 0 to 20 seconds, thereby also defining the
extraction speed.
3. Value that changes the brewing curve: the higher the
value, the higher the delivery rate.
4. Amounts in milliliters with which the pressure can
be changed during coffee making, reaching the minimum
value to ensure a perfect cup of coffee.
5. The extraction rate changes during brewing until
reaching the minimum value to ensure a perfect cup of
coffee; the higher the value, the quicker the drop.

The group cover houses a 5” display
and an electromechanical competition
key that, once positioned exactly
above the filter holder, allows its
coupling and manual start-up in a
single movement.
By acting on the hidden screw, it
is easy to remove the crankcase for
maintenance work on it and on the
display.

where and when needed. In addition, Storm
automatically puts one or more groups into
standby mode when the workload decreases,
reverting to full-time mode as warranted

Storm is equipped with the SB (Steam Boost)
option, which can be activated by the
technician during installation or is available
in the Extreme Steam Boost version, which can
maximize the efficiency of steam production,
as needed.
SB increases steam production by activating
the heating units even during high-volume
espresso making (alternating power between
service and coffee heating units).
In the ESB version, however, steam production
is maximum, all heating units on Storm can
be activated at the same time, minimizing
the recovery time of the machine (maximum
absorbed power for 2GR 5800/6315 W/h and 3GR
7333/7985 W/h).
