This configuration provides dedicated hot water access on both sides of the machine, which is particularly useful in high-volume setups where multiple baristas work simultaneously or where americanos and tea make up a significant portion of your drink menu. Automatic dosing programs exact shot volumes, and the self-tamping, high-density group heads deliver consistent puck compression on every pull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003ch3\u003eCustom Steam and Hot Water Configuration\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe standard M2-012 ships with two steam wands and one hot water valve, but this custom build splits the layout to 2 steam wands and 2 hot water valves. Having a second hot water tap means one barista can pull hot water for an americano on one side while another froths milk on the other, without anyone waiting or reaching across the machine. For operations that serve a mixed menu of espresso drinks and hot water beverages, this layout eliminates a common bottleneck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003cp\u003eThe M2-012-2HW-2S shares all core components with the M2-012: Astra's thermocycling system with high-density group heads for stable brew temperature, a copper plated boiler, quiet rotary-vane Procon pump, and manual steam and hot water controls (automated steam option available). Ships with one single and 2 double portafilters. Connects to a plumbed water line (30 to 50 psi, filtered and softened), 220V, dedicated circuit required. Handcrafted in the USA from US-standard parts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Astra Manufacturing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51175769538845,"sku":"M2-012-2HW-2S","price":6817.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/4716\/2909\/files\/41021_m2012_front_1_02570938-70ef-4232-8080-a6cfaca730fa.jpg?v=1776338398","url":"https:\/\/thechefstore.com\/products\/astra-m2-012-2hw-2s-mega-ii-automatic-espresso-machine-two-group-heads-2-hot-water-valves-2-steam-wands-220v","provider":"TheChefStore.Com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
