The Astoria Rapallo is a stunning tribute to the golden age of espresso, blending 1960s retro aesthetics with modern industrial reliability. Known for its distinctive “visible” group heads and classic lines, the Rapallo is a replica of Astoria’s very first production model from 1968. This used 2-group unit features a rare and eye-catching Custom Blue and Gold finish, making it an undeniable showpiece for any vintage-inspired café, boutique hotel, or upscale restaurant.
Technically, the Rapallo is a “semi-automatic” workhorse, giving baristas full manual control over extraction timing via a simple push-button interface. This hands-on approach is supported by a massive 10.5-liter copper boiler, ensuring you never run out of steam or thermal stability during heavy rushes. With its dual steam wands and exposed groups, the Rapallo is designed for those who view coffee making as a true craft.
