Prestige A/2 Tall Cup: Built for Busy Cafés That Can't Slow Down

The Faema Prestige A/2 Tall Cup is a 2-group commercial espresso machine designed for high-volume cafes where consistent quality and reliable output go hand in hand. Its Smartboiler system keeps steam and hot water performing during your busiest hours, while the Thermobalance system maintains precise brewing temperature for exceptional shot quality from the first espresso to the last.

The Problem & The Fix

Why Most 2-Group Machines Fall Short During Peak Hours — And Why This One Doesn't

Steam pressure fades under heavy milk demand

Smartboiler system ensures consistent steam and hot water at peak hours

Brew temperature drifts between shots

Thermobalance system maintains precise, stable temperature for every extraction

Standard cup clearance limits your menu

Tall Cup design accommodates larger specialty drinks without workflow disruption

Baristas lose confidence in the equipment mid-service

Reliable 2-group design gives your team a machine they can count on every shift

How It Works

The Faema Prestige A/2 uses two complementary systems to maintain quality under pressure. The Smartboiler monitors boiler output continuously, ensuring steam and hot water availability doesn't degrade as service volume increases. If your morning rush hits hard, the machine responds — not by struggling, but by maintaining.

On the brew side, the Thermobalance system keeps extraction temperature stable regardless of how many shots you're pulling back-to-back. Temperature stability directly affects flavor clarity and extraction balance, so maintaining it throughout a busy shift is the difference between a good cafe and a great one.

What You Get

Smartboiler System

Consistent steam and hot water throughout peak service — the Smartboiler ensures your milk-based drinks never suffer during your busiest hours.

Thermobalance System

Shot-to-shot temperature stability for exceptional extraction — precise temperature control gives baristas confidence that every espresso meets the same standard.

Tall Cup Design

Serve your full menu without awkward cup workarounds — extra clearance accommodates larger specialty drinks without compromising workflow speed.

2-Group Configuration

Dual group heads for parallel service and increased throughput — two baristas can work simultaneously, cutting wait times and increasing revenue per hour.

Faema Build Quality

Commercial-grade reliability backed by decades of Italian engineering — Faema machines are built to perform in demanding environments day after day.

Is This Right For You?

This Is For You If...

You run a high-volume cafe that needs consistent performance during peak hours.

You serve a menu that includes large-format milk-based drinks.

You want Faema reliability without stepping up to the flagship price tier.

You need dual-group capacity to keep service moving efficiently.

This Isn't For You If...

You're running a low-volume single-barista operation.

You need Autosteam for automated milk frothing (see the Autosteam version).

You're looking for a compact footprint machine.

Your volume doesn't justify an $11,610 equipment investment.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Daily Cleaning

Wipe and purge the steam wand after each use to prevent milk buildup, rinse portafilters and filter baskets, clean the drip tray, and backflush the group head to remove coffee oils and residue.

Weekly Maintenance

Soak portafilters, baskets, and shower screens in an approved cleaning solution, inspect group head gaskets and screens, and perform a deeper backflush to keep internal components clean.

Long-Term Care

Maintain proper water filtration to prevent scale buildup and descale the machine as needed based on water quality and usage to ensure long-lasting performance and consistent espresso quality.

Power Requirements
  • Voltage: 220-240 VAC
  • Wattage: 4200 - 5000W
  • Electrical: Requires a 230V circuit (dedicated circuit strongly recommended)


Summary: This machine runs on a 230V power supply, making it ideal for commercial cafés, high-volume service, and serious espresso setups where stronger electrical capacity is available. With a compatible-watt draw, it should be connected to a dedicated circuit to ensure stable performance—especially if you’re running other equipment nearby (grinder, fridge, hot water tower). This setup is best for fixed locations with proper electrical infrastructure, rather than most mobile coffee carts where 230V isn’t always available.
