The Astoria AB 200 Autosteamer Plus version is purpose-built for cafés and specialty coffee shops that demand consistent milk texture without sacrificing barista control. While inheriting all the high-performance fundamentals of the AB 200 (thermal stability, ergonomic layout, service accessibility), this model adds a smart, internally monitored steam wand system to reduce variation, speed up service during peak hours, and ease new-barista training.
The Autosteamer Plus wand includes internal temperature sensing (probe) and adjustable frosting logic, enabling programmable milk temperature and froth level recipes. The system takes over fine control of steam pressure delivery during milk texturing, allowing the barista to trigger and monitor but not micromanage every second of frothing. This balance of automation + control is ideal for operations scaling their milk-based drink volume while maintaining high consistency.
Beyond automation, the AB 200 Autosteamer Plus retains modular construction, easy panel access, a compact footprint, and the option to add 3.5″ touchscreen, Beans2Cloud remote monitoring, and LED workflow lighting. Astoria designed this version so the Auto Steam wand is integrated yet serviceable, and the machine’s layout ensures it remains maintainable even with the added complexity.
