Prestige Compact A/1 is a single-group bar machine, built for counters with less space. The boiler is a heat exchanger with thermosiphon circulation: a single service boiler exchanges heat with the group, which is what lets you steam milk while the coffee is pulled. Thermosiphon temperature regulation is standard.

The group takes brass portafilters with rubberised handles and a micrometric spout, height-adjustable with a supplied screw, to split the dose evenly between two cups. The standard finish is matte white; the side panels can be customised for an extra cost in three finishes, denim, brass and dark copper.

Several extras remain optional: Autosteam for automatic milk frothing, the cup warmer, group and front LED lighting, the Tall Cup version for tall cups, and an energy-saving mode. With a single group, the footprint stays small: one brewing station, suited to smaller counters.
